ALV excel formatting

Hi
how to set in SALV some formatting in exporting to excel file.
I want to convert some numbers variables to text format before will be create XLS sheet.

You could create an internal table for the SALV that has all character fields. However, Excel might still interpret those as numbers. Why not have the user select the columns in Excel and format cells as text?

After generating the ALV output ,in one , when I click on the Excel Format button - the Excel spreadsheet opens with the output data. In the second computed , under the same action , a blank Excel sheet opens .
Could someone tell me a solution . What aspect is responsible for this ?

Reduce the MACRO security settings in the Excel to Medium.
Open an execl sheet, Chose from menu Tootls->Macro->Security.
Chose the radio-buton medium. Close the file and all excel applications.Then try downloading again.

Hi Nirmal,
I have done the same in my previous organisation.For this particular solution you need to ask your basis guys to upgrade the support package so that BCS classes could be available in the system.
API interafces five some problem with attachemnts and SAP has recommended to use BCS classes.
Currently BCS classes won't be availbale in 4.7.
Once the BCS classes are available
use below code
   CONSTANTS:
    lc_tab          TYPE c VALUE cl_bcs_convert=>gc_tab,
    lc_crlf         TYPE c VALUE cl_bcs_convert=>gc_crlf,

Download alv report in excel format in Linux

Hi All,
I am working on SAP GUI for Java in Linux PC. I have installed
Open Office.
After executing an alv report there is no spreadsheet option
to download the report in excel format .
Also, when doing Save as Local File -> Spreadsheet ,
the report is not downloaded in proper format.
So, how to download the alv reports in excel format ?

Hi Vinod ,
Save as Local File -> Spreadsheet
It will ask for Directory and file name with .xls format . Give proper name e.g. test.xls and save, and after saving file right click on the file and click on Open with "OpenOffice.org calc".
It will definetly work.

Send ALV report as attachment in EXCEL format

Hi SAP Guru,
I had a report output as ALV format.
Currently, when the background job ended, it would be send out to the recipent thru SAPconnect as PDF format using internet mailing address.
I tried to search for a configuraiton for EXCEL output but there don;t seems to be any option availble.
I can only choose from PDF/TEXT/HTM/PS in the output document type selection in SOST.
How can I configure to allow the system to send out the ALV report to my recipent in EXCEL format instead of PDF or HTML?
Thanks

Hi,
By Using OOPS Concept you can send ALV Output as Excel Format by using Class Interface: CL_BCS.
Do some search on CL_BCS.
There are some demo Program, sreach for BCS* on SE38.
Thanks & Regards

SAP ALV report scheduling background in excel format

Hi Gurus,

> We are using SAP 4.7 and using different SAP reports.Now I want to send SAP ALV report in excel format directly from SAP in background.Now we send these reports in background weekly by using autimetic scheduling but this is PDF format.
"Something" has to do the conversion to excel, it will not work without programming.
If you display a grid the data is sent via OLE to the frontend where excel is started and displaying the data. If you run a program in the background there is no terminal connection and hence no excel and hence no conversion.
What you can do is that you display the data as raw data and send it as attachment - but then people need to import and convert themselves.

ALV Grid to be run in background & to generate output file in Excel format

I use REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY in my program for the ALV output
My Requirement is Program to be run in a background since it is getting timed out when executed in foreground and also to generate the output file in Excel format. And we are using 4.6 C version.
how do i attain this?

Hello,
One alternate solution can be :
Execute your report in background and then send the data to Spool .
From this spool , you can download the data in excel file.
SUBMIT xyz TO SAP-SPOOL

Problem while downloadind data from ALV in excel format.

Hi Experts,
I have developed one ALV Report.
it have 53 columns. when i tried to download it in excel format using standard functionality, all columns are not coming in one line i.e 50 cloumns in one line and rest columns to the next line.
For Example.
Row 1 Header->    Fld1    Fld2    Fld3   Fld4   Fld5
                           Fld6    Fld7
Row 2 Values->    Val1    Val2    Val3 Val4   Val5
                           Val6    Val7
how i will get all these 53 columns in one line in EXCEL..
its urget........
Usefull answer will be rewarded...

hi,
there are some specific restrictions in downloading data in alv.
i.e you cannot have morethan 1024 characters that can be downloaded in single row.
so change your report columns accordingly.

Download ALV in Excel format to AL11

Hello ppl,
I have a requirement for ALV report program where the selection screen has two radio buttons.
One of them is for 'download'.
If the user selects this option, then the ALV report should be downloaded in excel format in the application server (AL11).
How to achieve this?
Please help.
Thanks,
David.

use the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT event...
at this event do the coding for ALV .. whether to download it or to display it...

ALV GRID FORMAT IN BACKGROUND

Dear All,
There is t code called MB51 which the user use, we recommend them to execute that report in the background using this method -- t code-- execute in background--- enter the printer name and generate the temporary spool to veiw the report, however when we veiw that report using spo2, the tool bar (that comes when we execute in the foreround) is missing, which is used to veiw it in the ALV grid format, actually the user easily select the feilds in that format and download them to excel sheets, in the background that " Details" option is not there, is there any work around for this.
Thanks,..
Ravi.

Hi Clemens,
Thanks for that valuable suggestion, atleast I got a direction to think about, so from here on its gotta be xml...
But, since I have no idea about xml coding, also I went through those 2 links you had sent, but I'm still unable to understand the following points:
1.How do I generate the xml code, relevant to formatting that I did in ALV Grid using the FM "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY"?
2. How do I go about saving the xml file onto the Application server?
3. Can you please provide any sample ALV report code, where such XML formatting has been used?
Thanks in advance.

ALV Excel in-place in Portal

Dear gurus,
i wonder if:
1) ALV Excel inplace can be used within portal
2) if yes, what configuration steps I must maintain (if there is any document about it, could anybody point me to it?)
3) if not, can anybody suggest any alternative? I need to have my Excels formatted (like using OLE or when I generate a XML Office file, but that would take me too long to create all the outputs one by one) and if possible opened from the portal. If that could not be done, my users would accept to save it first and open the file then.
4) I need this functionality because on my portal the users access the standard ERP transactions (through ITS or WebGUI or how exactly that is called). If I could do any programming, I would use Office UI WebDynpro container, but obviously I cannot do that. That is the reason I look for some SAP standard way how to do this.
Thank you for your time and effort if you ave read this far:))¨
Have a nice day everybody, regards Otto

Looks like there is not real progress regarding this topic. Excel in-place is not supported in any GUI version except the SAP GUI for windows. For anybody who would struggle and waste time like me, please read here:

Dear gurus,

2) if yes, what configuration steps I must maintain (if there is any document about it, could anybody point me to it?)
3) if not, can anybody suggest any alternative?

If that could not be done, my users would accept to save it first and open the file then.
4) I need this functionality because on my portal the users access quite many standard ERP transactions. If I could do any programming, I would use Office UI WebDynpro container, but obviously I cannot do that. That is the reason I look for some SAP standard way how to do this.

Have a nice day everybody, regards Otto

Looks like there is not real progress regarding this topic. Excel in-place is not supported in any GUI version except the SAP GUI for windows. For anybody who would struggle and waste time like me, please read here: Excel inplace not supported in ITS/Web GUI.
Note 512068 - Office integration and SAP GUI for HTML
Note 822867 - Desktop Office Integration: No support for ITS & Java GUI
