Export uitable's data to a spreadsheet Excel

I have designed a GUI which has an uitable and a push button which, when is pressed, allows to export the uitable's data to an Excel spreadsheet. My problem is that I want to add the uitable's headers to the matrix Select which has the numeric values. This matrix is used by the pushbutton callback, as seen below:

    htable = uitable(...);
    ...
    SelecY = get(htable,'Data');

Callback of the pushbutton

        function hExpExcelCallback(src,evt)
            FileName = uiputfile('*.xls','Save as');
            xlswrite(FileName,SelecY),
        end

You need to do some processing in the case that the table data is all numerical, because the column header is returned in a cell array. The following example uses a uitable, but should apply to the table you have in your GUI as long as you have the handle.

h=uitable('Data',rand(2,3),'ColumnName',{'a','b','c'});

Data=get(h,'Data');
ColumnName=get(h,'ColumnName');

NewData=mat2cell(Data,ones(size(Data,1),1),ones(size(Data,2),1));
CombData=[ColumnName';NewData];
xlswrite(FileName,CombData);

Dear @Fangjun Jiang,

I tried your example, but unfortunately it only works on Windows pc and I am using Macintosh. Can you please tell me how to implement this code on Macintosh?

Cheers
