Hello Raghu,

you can use method getServiceMetadata of the ODataModel (OpenUI5 SDK - Demo Kit).

In the returned object you can access the entity types array by dataServices.schema[0].entityType. For each entity type array a property array exists which contains the names of the properties (="columns").

Here an example using the northwind service.

Hi,

Try this.

  var oTable = detailView.getView().byId('idItemTable');

  var dataToExport = detailView.getView().getModel().getData();

  var colNames = [];

  var colDetails = [];

  oTable.getItems()[0].mAggregations.cells.map(function(item,index){

       colDetails.push(item.mBindingInfos);

  });

  oTable.getColumns(true).map(function(item,index){

  colNames.push(item.getHeader().getText());

  });
