Presumably the ODBC Provider/Driver could have an effect on what is provided by the feature being used to "save the results as XLS". Aside from that, the question directed instead to a forum about the client software might be more productive.?

Yet aside from what is provided by a combination of any particular feature of the client utility and the chosen driver [thus probably not of any direct interest, not of much value, with regard to resolving the issue], there is also the availability, separately, of a query of the catalogs that could provide the desired data; e.g. for the data from SYSCOLUMNS, for the list of columns of a /file/ from which the data is being extracted, the following expression might yield the desirable information [though possibly instead, the first two arguments in reverse order]:
COALESCE(COLUMN_TEXT, COLUMN_HEADING, COLUMN_NAME)
