About ALV and EXCEL

HELLO!
in the alv grid,when I touch off the function code &VEXCEL,but in the excle which alv transfer no data.can everyone tell me how to display data in the excel but not download to excel.
thank you!

Hi,
in this case you need to change the Excel macro settings , then execute ALV and download to excel , excel will contains data.
procedure:
In Excel change the macro security by going to Tools->Macro->Security and on the security level tab choose medium radio button. After you do this, your Excel should contain the contents of you report.

Alv and excel

i use CL_SALV_TABLE the show alv.
when i want to spreadssheet to excel the order of the field is diffrent from the alv and the text(the names of the field) is diffrent too.
maybe you know how to fix it

Hi,
When you display data in Excel from ALV, what SAP does is that put all the CHAR fields in the front and the NUMBER fields at the END.

Problem with ALV and EXCEL in 710...

Hi,
We have BI 710 and ECC6. When using ALV-GRID and when we try to change the output to excel-inplace, we get the error:
"View cannot be switched. Product not installed or integration not active"...
What do i have to install?
Please suggest...

Cover flow shows a thumbnail or icon for each file much like album covers in iTunes. The first is cover flow and the second shot is list view. If you choose list view the shaking vanishes.

Alv and excel sheet out put.

hi friends,
now i am working on sales and purchase order report. For this i have created three radio button on selection screen one for sales 2nd for purchase and 3rd for both. when i click sales radio button it is going to display only sales data in ALV out put list as well as in EXCEL sheet.
problem:-
Some layout fileds (out put fields) i am storing in VARIENT and when i have passed this VARIANT in a SELECTION-SCREEN so here the output is ok for me, and i am unable to display these same fields in EXCEL sheet for this Please could u tell that how we do this. please send the logic for this.
thands and regards.
sagi.

Hi Amol,
you are not getting me ...
see your itab will have all the fields irrespective of variant used. so you can directly use itab to download.
i guess you are using alv tool bar option to download.
but i am telling to use your own button to download the report using your own button with GUI_DOWNLOAD Fm.
for this you pass your ITAB and and then give the file name then this will save all the fields to excel file.

About ABAP and EXCEL output files

Hi experts.
We are using an outbound interface that creates a Excel files with ABAP OO. The main problem of the issue occurs when we call the method to save and close the excel document already created but in windows task manager it stays opened.
Is there any possibility in abap to call some method or statement to close (or kill) the excel application already opened in Windows?
Regards!

Am not sure but my answer is NO.
Because, ABAP is a different server and windows is a different server.
So you cannot control any applications and actions that are performed out of sap box.
Thanks

Reuse_alv_grid and excel

i read many threads about alv and excel specially about the trouble with excel with the line missaligned but didn't see a solution.
i have the same trouble i have an alv_grd with 30 col. but when i export to excel only the first 27 are aligned the last 3 are missaligned in un another row.
so i ask if there are some rules to export correctely in excel.
I must say that i see the same missaligment with the print of the alv.
Is it possible to choose the width of the col therefore is it possible to have rows with different higth?
thanx.

Hi,
I think there is some limit on characters, not sure whats the limit. Might be somewhere aroung 1032 or something.
You can not break columns into number of rows. What you can just try is just reduce the width of the columns a bit and check if the 30 columns getting transferred correctly or not.

ALV and Crystal Reports challenge

Hi there Gurus.
I already have posted this question in the Crystal section.
Maybe some of you ABAP Guys knows the answer here.
Our Customer have Crystal Reports Template includet so that the user can choose to display ALV in a nice Crystal Report.
We have made changes to the Template, and have included a logo in the top right corner of the Report Header Section.
When the report is started from ALV , a new Report Header Section is made.. and my old Report Header Section is pushed down.
The result is that the Logo no longer is in the top right corner.
The new section is made from ABAP maybe, and has Report Title and some information about which parameters has been used.
I am familiar in Crystal, but not so much in ABAP.
Any suggestions on how to solve this ?
We want the logo to be in the top right corner of the report.
Best Regards
Ingrid

Serdar Simsekler , you seem to know a lot about ALV and what is happening there.
Do you know anything on where the logic is hidden, in what is passed on to Crystal form ALV?
And where it is placed in the report. ?
Best Regards Ingrid

Hierarchical ALV list with control of printout and Excel download

Hello everybody,
i have to write a program, that has to generate a hierarchical master/client list. The list should
have the same functionality, that a standard ALV Grid
offers (sorting, grouping, OLE export to Excel). The printout must show a new sheet for every master group.
ALV grid does not allow to display hierarchical lists. The ALV hierarchical list and blocklist view switches to
text mode with no "single click Excel activation". I have tried to implement the &XXL ok_code, but in text mode, there is no chance to activate this single-table functionality.
Another possibility seems to be ALV tree, but there is no
possibility to control the printout (new sheet at group level) and the given practice, to load child nodes at selection, is not acceptable for my kind of program (all childs have to be expanded and the printout must contain a dialog to print i.e. a "from to group" selection).
Does anyone have an idea, to solve this problem in an easy object oriented way? my only thought at this time is, to use a standard ABAP list and to integrate Excel via document office integration. This gives me the fullcontrol about printout and export, but it needs far more time then ALV.
Another possibility may be, to develop a custom control, based on VS with Flexgrid, Singray or ComponentOne tools, but ich have to go as near as possible to SAP standard, without using 3rd party programming systems or controls.
I'm glad about tip's!

How to export an ALV to Excel with its Header and Logo?

Hi guys,

Changing layout of ALV to excel and displaying the data there

Dear All,
My requirement is that I have to develop an ALV report, and also plot the graphs for the same.
I need different types of graphs, so I have searched on SDN, and I found out a blg:-
"Report with a Graph.. An Approach!"
Here is what the person has done:-
I developed a simple ABAP report using ALV and just dumped all my data on it.
After this I downloaded the Standard Excel template available in the ALV.
Defined my own worksheets in this template, wrote some macros to pick up the data from the RawHeader sheet, which is available by default and will contain the ALV data.
I inserted 1 chart in this Excel template. In this chart I used the same chart type as was being used by the user for his graph. Just right clicked on the Graph area and made the changes in the source data and made it point to the sheet containing the final data.
Thats it my job is almost done.
After this uploaded this template back into the report output through
the layout settings->Change Layout Tab.
Save it as a variant and made it a default. (Do not default it if you have more than 1 user and more than 1 template. Select the appropriate variant for the appropriate user and then display)
Well, this also was not that easy as I had thought. I landed up into 1 trouble.
In my report the number of columns displayed was not constant and kept changing based on the input. This fact was taken care by designing a variable field catalogue. But now I had gone past the simple ALV display and was giving the output in an Excel sheet using a pre-defined template. Well, I immediately found a solution to this with the set_frontend_fieldcatalogue method of CL_GUI_ALV_GRID class and fixed the field catalogue every time after calling the set_table_for_first_display method. This solved most of my problems, which were not many though.
Now here are my issues:-
I have developed the ALV report, and I have also changed the layout to excel.
But, I am unable to get the ALV Report data in the RawHeader Sheet, which is available by default.
Could anyone please guide me through this method??
It is urgent.
Points are assured for helpful answers.
Thanks and regards,
Prerna

Hi Satya Priya,
Do I have to create my own template, or the Standard ones available will do?
HEre is what I do:-
Once I get my ALV output, I goto Change LAyout->View tab.->Prefered view->Microsoft Excel.
Here I get a list of available excel templates There are 2:-
sap_mm.xls, and sap_om.xls
I select one of these, and the excel spreadsheet is displayed on the ALV screen.
But the re is another button, "Upload Document to BDS".
Do I have to upload one of the above templated to BDS?
And please tell me in detail, what is BDS???
Thanks for your help, and waiting for reply,
Prerna

How should we be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting our ODC files using Excel 2013 for use in Project Server 2013 Online?

Hi I need your guidance on how I should go about setting up my Excel 2013 reports so that others in our Project Online 2013 environment can access and updates these reports of mine.
My questions are as follows:
I presume I need to create and save my ODC files in a PWA > Data Connections folder. I have English and French users in our environment. Do I need save them twice? Once in the French and again in the English Data Connections folder?
Likewise for the Excel file?
How should I go about creating my ODC files within Excel? By default, the ODC files are being created on my PC's > My Documents > My Data Sources folder. I presume I need to get them saved or exported to the PWA > Data Connections
folder. So, How should I be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting the ODC files???
FYI...My oData Feeds that I wish to use and join in this particular Excel file are as follows:
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/AssignmentTimephasedData01T00:00:00'
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/Projects()?$select=ProjectId,ProjectName,CAS_Classification,CAS_PCO,CAS_IT_Department,CAS_Program,CAS_SubProgram

Thanks in advance,
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Thank you Guilaume. May I ask you to help clarify a bit more for me? If I have to do it for both languages (the reports and ODC files), do I simply copy the same ODC files from e.g., the English to French folder in PWA (Odc files)? Or does
that defeat the purpose? Or, do I need to create a new set of oData Feed Connection files with a French version of Excel 2013 and save them to the French Data Connections folder in PWA? Do I need to have a French version of Excel 2013 to create
French ODC files and ultimately French based reports and/ or vice versa?
I did notice that the following oData metadata command from within a browser produces different results (ie., English versus French metadata returned) depending on who runs it (i.e., French or English user, etc). As you can see I am a bit confused.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Download data from ALV to excel issue

Hi All,
Could you please tell me if there has any restriction on ALV grid data download to excel? I've a report contains 68 columns and about 500 rows, I want to download the data using the standard menu list->export->save to local file. but after I download them, I found the first 65 columns display in one line and the rest columns display in next line, just like ALV do not allow too many characters in one row and have to switch to new line. I can hide some columns but it's very strange that even after i hide 3 columns to fit the 500 rows download, then if the rows increase, the same problem occurs.
I searched the forum and in the thread Re: Export ALV in EXCEL Issue Mr. Suvajit provided a solution by using menu List->export->spreadsheet, it looks very good. But I still want to know how this happen and is there a standard way to download data with more than 65 columns to local file with extension .xls so that user can open it directly?
PS: I'm using FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY and the SAP version is SAP ECC6 with kernal package SAPKB70103.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Please check if following analysis is helpful to you.
Analysis/Solution:
When we export ALV data to excel worksheet, as sap notes say the maximum lenght allowed is 1023 charaters and the max no of columns supported is 90.
(I never faced any issue related to no of columns as it worked fine for columns >90 too)
Issue occured when row size of exported data gets more than 1023 character.
Therefore the row data must not exceed 1023 character, otherwise column splits and moves to next row.
One additional aspect generally missed is that:
When data in any particular column changes it's length, alv header also changes its lengh (short text, medium text, long text; depending on the length of of the longest cell in the column)
therefore even if you have total length of row less than 1023 character, there might be cases when your ALV header size exceeds this length.
Reducing the header size (by forcing to use short text or specifying own header names) should resolve the issue.
Regards,
Parveen

Hi,
You can also try in this way
in the output screen
click List (in app tool bar) -> Export -> Spreadsheet
and save at your desired location.
(It will be save in .mhtml format , just rightclick on it and you can open it with excel )
Then you will be able to view in your required format.

Export from ALV to Excel - problem with numeric values

hi folks,
when exporting from alv to excel and we have negative values (and using an u.s.a. setting where . and , are different to r/3) negetive values are not shown correctly in excel.
when changing in win nt the regional settings to europe one's (e.g. germany) everything works fine.
any hints welcome,
kind regards
oliver

I guess this has something to do with the excel settings. In the control panel you have regional settings.try some options there. It might work.
