How to export to excel including title or description?

I'm exporting details of the Straight Table to the excel along with current selection. Now I want to include a title to the exported data. I mean, some kind of meaning full description so that user can make out what data that he has exported to the excel.

Is there a way to add custom description?

And also, Current selection comes at the end of the file Is that possible to export at the beginning of the excel sheet.

Thank you

Sorry! That does not work for me. I don't have caption to export. I just want app name and date to be exported along with the data to the excel.

if you want to avoid or do not want to ahve to write a macro, I would recommend option 1 from the link - how to export to excel include title caption - not only will this give you meaningful titles but it will be the same title the user sees in the chart

Where does this include the caption? I tried this option but I'm not getting caption in excel.

good question - I just noticed that I have the column headers, but do not have the caption or the current selections (I rechecked current selections and re-exported)
