I have a crystal report where I need to mail the users the data in the excel as an attachment but with the condition that filters are enabled in each columns of the excel report . If I have 10 columns in excel , user doesn't want to apply filter explicitly rather they want the filter already present so that they can filter based on any column . If there is another better way of filtering the data on user side please suggest that too.
How to output the excel with filters enabled on columns in crystal reports

There is no way to do this from within Crystal reports. You can write an application, which will export the report to Excel, open the Excel file and add a filter.
There is a free version of R-Tag, which supports this feature. You can see it demonstrated here: http://www.r-tag.com/Pages/Preview_RTagAndBOE.aspx Use the menu to jump to "Advanced report extensions" or go to position 5:26
If this works for you, here is the link to the free edition: http://www.r-tag.com/Pages/CommunityEdition.aspx
