How to Get Datasheet view for any List view in SharePoint?
To get datasheet on any list view, Just append “&ShowInGrid=True” parameter to the URL.

E.g. https://sharepoint.crescent.com/credit/Lists/pipeline/RptAll.aspx?View={74EA6C44-C956-4B7F-8EB5-48C92EB6D7AB}&ShowInGrid=True

This activates datasheet view for any list in SharePoint 2010!
