Export data from MSA to Excel?

Can we export daat from MSA to Excel? When we search for the business partners, is there a way to download the results to excel?
Thanks!

Hi,
Yes you can bring the data to Excel. One you a Business Partner Search,the results flow down to the list tile.
1)Select one of the grid rows and Right Click on where the Arrow points.
2) A small drop down comes up.choose the option "Generate Report".
3) This opens up the"InstantReport" screen. Choose "MicrosoftExcel" in the Instant Report To Combo.
4)Select the grid columns that you want and add them using the buttons present there.
5)Then click on the button "Generate".
6)The data flows down to an Excel sheet.

there are many ways you can do that, Through Excel Add-in,SmartView functions etc different.
It depends on the requirement , if you mean to say who Essbase Data then someone else should be able to answer this.

Export data from forms to excel

HI
In my application im trying to export data from forms to excel.Everything works fine.First of all im using get_file_name for selecttion of file and passing it to ole2 package as follows
FILENAME := GET_FILE_NAME(File_Filter=> 'XLS Files (*.xls)|*.xls|',dialog_type=>SAVE_FILE);
     ARGS:=OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
     oLE2.ADD_ARG(ARGS,Filename);
     OLE2.INVOKE(WORKSHEET,'SAVEAS',ARGS);
The problem is if i select an existing file the get_file_name itself raises one message ".....file already exists Replace an existing file?"
Similarly the excel also also raises the same message "".....file already exists Replace an existing file?".I want to suppress atleast one of them? Could anyone help for this problem?
appreciate ur help
THANKS

Looks like...
ole2.set_property( ex_app, 'DisplayAlerts', false );
where "ex_app" variable Excel Application -
     ex_app:=     ole2.create_obj('Excel.Application');
and more Question:
When i close excel app - in process viewer i see "excel.exe"
ole2.release_obj don't work :(

Issue to export data from sql to excel

I have MS SQL 2008 Developer version and visual studio 2008. I'm using SSIS Import and Export Wizard on the VS2008 to create a simple package to export data from a table using a sql query to excel file (.xlsx), but I got the following
error messages:
[Destination - Query [37]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
[Destination - Query [37]] Error: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: component "Destination - Query" (37) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
The SQL query is
SELECT [BusinessEntityID]
      ,[PersonType]
      ,[NameStyle]
      ,[Title]
      ,[FirstName]
      ,[MiddleName]
      ,[LastName]
FROM [AdventureWorks2008].[Person].[Person]
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Or another way is to save the package created by Export Import wizard, open it in BIDS and add a Derived column task before the Excel destination to do explicit casting of the columns to your required unicode datatypes.

How to export data from webdynpro to Excel and start a Excel macro

Hello All
I want to export data displayed in the Web dynpro ALV into Excel. I have tried the ALV export function but my problem with it is when it does export to excel the data loses formatting and I have long text in columns which display with wrapping in ALV but when exported to excel it loses formatting.
So I want to define a custom button and when user presses on this button the excel export is called with a macro. Can you kindly share ideas how I can do this from a webdynpro.
Thanks

Hi friends!
I have followed the following:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3417300)ID1487994050DB10407586481486749551End?blog=/pub/wlg/5522
...in order to create standard ALV with Export to Excel.
However what is exported into excel is awful. It does not contain my data in nice columns... Instead it shows a lot of meta-data.
Please let me know what to do to kick the standard Export button in the correct direction.. that is...to have my nice table in same way in Excel, because that is my intention with "Export to excel"

Exporting data from table to Excel in a particular format using BSP.

Hello all,

I am able to do that but the output in excel sheet is not formatted. it is displaying the data in a single
column. For example, the internal table which i am exporting to excel contains fields "product

Can anyone help me with some solution.
Thanks in advance.
Gurmahima.

the issue is here
LOOP AT itab_xls INTO wa_xls.
CONCATENATE L_STRING wa_xls-product_name
wa_xls-area_name
wa_xls-landx
CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF INTO L_STRING SEPARATED BY SPACE.
ENDLOOP.
instead do the following
LOOP AT itab_xls INTO wa_xls.
CONCATENATE L_STRING wa_xls-product_name ','
wa_xls-area_name ','
wa_xls-landx ','
CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF INTO L_STRING .
ENDLOOP.
and then change the file name extension from xls to csv. it should open properly in excel.
Note that this is only excel csv file. if you want a proper excel excel file, then
option one: build a html table with your data into a string and pass it to excel
option 2: build excel xml using your data into a string and pass it to excel.

Procedure/batch file to export data from sql to excel(predefined path)

Hi,
I have countries, sites, states tables (total 3) in database (i have user id and password to connect to this database).
every week i need to extract data from these tables into excel files and i need to save those in shared drive for team use.
Currently i am connecting to database every time running sql query and manually exporting that latest data to excel and saving that as excel files in (G:\team\common\) folder with specific name.
output format should be : excel (.xls)
file names should - countries.xls,sites.xls,states.xls
server name : ap21
output location : G:\team\common\ ( G is shared drive).
i heard that we could create batch file to do this task and also we could use oracle procedure to do this task. but not sure which one is the best option.
could you please guide me what is the option and also help me with technical stuff to do this task.

Hello,
output format should be : excel (.xls)Do you really want to create .xls files? This is not easy to do because it is a proprietary (MS) binary format. You should consider other formats like .csv or .xlsx. Follow the link in the previous answer how to generate them.
file names should ...The name of the files does not matter, you are free to name them as you like.
server name : ap21
output location : G:\team\common\ ( G is shared drive).You can write the file generated in the database only to directories that are accessible from the db as Oracle Directories. You could mount the shared drive to the db server, but it might be better to write the output to a server directory and then transfer them to the shared drive with OS-copy command or FTP.
i heard that we could create batch file to do this task and also we could use oracle procedure to do this task. but not sure which one is the best option.I would use Oracle Scheduler to execute a PL/SQL procedure to generate the files and then a OS-batch file to transfer them. You can use the Scheduler to execute the batch file too, see {message:id=3895983}.

Exporting data from arraylist to excel

I'm working on a program, in which data is uploaded from an excel spreadsheet, modified through an arraylist and the UI, then dumped back to the excel spreadsheet...
Currently, I can save the data to an xls spreadsheet, but it is actually saved as a tab-delimited text file...
This causes a problem when I use the jdbc-odbc bridge to upload the data back to my arraylist, as it does not recognize this tab delimited file as a proper excel spreadsheet. So, what I need is to be able to save the data into a true excel spreadsheet. How do I go about doing this (preferably using the jdbc-odbc, NOT poi)?
Here is what I currently use to save the data:
try
out = new FileOutputStream("myfile.xls");
p = new PrintStream( out );
p.println("Asset Tag\tPO Number\tOrder Date\tReceive Date\tName\tDescription");
for (int i = inventory.size();i>0;i--)
String inventoryout = (String)inventory.get(0);
p.println (inventoryout);
p.close();
catch (Exception e)
System.err.println ("Error writing to file");
And here is what I use to read the data:
try
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:odbc:exceltest" );
Statement st1 = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = st1.executeQuery( "Select * from [myfile$]" );
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
int numberOfColumns = rsmd.getColumnCount();
while (rs.next())
for (int i = 1; i <= numberOfColumns; i++)
if (i > 1)
String columnValue = rs.getString(i);
inventory.add(columnValue);
System.out.println("");
st1.close();
con.close();
catch(Exception ex)
System.err.print("Exception: ");
System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
PS
Sorry about the indentation, the text doesn't copy over correctly from my source...

from http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=3&t=000964:
"If you're using Microsoft's ODBC driver for Excel, I've got some bad news for you... no DELETE or UPDATE queries, and INSERT can only append to table. Read this from MS ... Excel ODBC Driver and Text ODBC Driver Notes. There might be 3rd party drivers out there that's more flexible... good luck though"
Do also read:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q178/7/17.ASP&NoWebContent=1
So you can only append. Switch to POI.

Reg : export data from ALV to excel file

Hi All,
I am using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY to display the output. I have total 73 columns getting displayed in output but when i export the data to the excel file using (ctrlshiftF9) I am getting only first 43 columns in the first row and from 44th column on wards the data is populated in the 1st column of second row.
Please let me know is there any particular setting by which I can get all the 73 columns in a single row.
Thanks in advance.
VIJAY

Hi vijay,
You can try setting your line width to 255 in your abap program.
Otherwise, you can try an alternative:
1. Put a customize button on the ALV toolbar.
2. Go to se41 to create th buttons
2. do i_callback_program in ALV function. or SET PF_STATUS
3. Then in sy-ucomm, use 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' to xls.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks
