doubledata=get(handles.uitable,'data');

colnames=get(handles.uitable,'Columnname');

colstring=cell(colnames);

filename=uiputfile('*.xlsx','Save File As');

I think you mean

colstring = cellstr(colnames);

The column names would usually already be in cellstr format, but it doesn't hurt to specifically convert them just in case they were not. Likewise sometimes the Data from a uitable is a cell and sometimes it is an array, so

if ~iscell(doubledata)
  doubledata = num2cell(doubledata);
end

After that,

combineddata = [colstring; doubledata];
