A possible solution might involve the -listtab- package, downloadable
from SSC, instead of -outsheet-. The -listtab- package contains a
-listtab_vars- module, which creates a local macro containing the column
headings (variable labels in your case), and has a -headlines()- option,
allowing this macro to be output to the generated spreadsheet file.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes

Dear Statalist,
When I use the outsheet command the variable names but not the
variable labels are transferred to excel.
Is there any way to also transfer the variable labels to excel?
Thanks,
Antonis Loumiotis
