Exporting data from ALV to Excel...

Hi All,
I am trying to export report to Excel with ALV Excel option on status bar, it works fine for 3 months data with 80 columns in the report. But when I run the report for one year data then report displays data fine in R/3 but when I download to Excel it's empty. The eroor is Dataset can't be processed by Excel.
Then I tried with option Download ->Local file->spreadsheet. which doesn't save headers in it. And colums coming in two lines But user wants all columns with header if i do with this option it's not pulling headers.
Please let me know if anybody had the same issue and came up with solution. That would be really great!
Thank you.

Hi Satya,
Thanks for your reply.
There will be around 60,000 records in the report with 80 to 100 columns. ALV report looks fine in R/3 but while downloading to Excel only it's saying ' Dataset can't be complete'. For 3,000 to 4,000 records it works fine.
Is this because of huge data?

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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
Edited by: Jeff_liu_2010 on Mar 10, 2011 7:21 AM

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.

Parveen

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

Hello all,
      I am creating a application in BSP wherein i have to export data to excel sheet.
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
name", "area name", country name", "values". all these should be displayed in different columns.How
can i achieve this functionality.A sample code will be of great help..
Below is the code i hav written for exporting to excel :
     data: l_len type i,
           l_string type string,
           app_type type string,
           file_content type xstring,

                                       response = cached_response ).
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.

Raja
