I am using SQL Server Management Studio.
I wish to save the results of a query to an excel file.
I choose “save as” and then save to CSV file which I can open in excel. All good except I am missing column headers, any ideas how I get them exported?
Tools > Options > Query Results > SQL Server > Results to Text (or Grid if you want) > Include columns headers in the result set
You might have to close and reopen SSMS after changing this option.
Note: On the SQL Editor Toolbar, you can click Results to file (Refer screenshot) without having to restart SSMS.
Alternatively, you can also press Ctrl + Shift + F if you like keyboard shortcuts during development.
