I have a query that has approximately 20 columns and I would like to export this to an Excel file with the column headers.
I thought this would be easy to figure out but no luck! I searched the web and found one suggestion that did not end up working so I am stuck.

Select cells from the columns you want to copy (CTRL+Click), choose "Copy selected Headers" in Results grid context menu and column names will be copied to clipboard. This action creates a comma-separated list that can be pasted wherever you need.
If you use Microsoft SQL Management you can right click and choose the option to "Copy with headers". Ctrl + Shift + C is the default command.
I typically do this by simply click the upper left corner in the results grid, copy, and then paste into Excel. There is one catch, you need to go into options->query results-> SQL Server->results to grid (or text if you want to save to file for import into excel) and turn on include column headers when copying or saving the results. I find this works great.
