GUI_Upload & GUI_Download for excel files

Hi experts,
I want to upload excel file into sap. i am trying with GUI_Upload function module. when i see the data it is filled with # and other special char. When i save the excel file as .txt file and then read the txt file. Now i am getting correct data. Is it possible to read Excel data using GUI_UPLOAD directly without changing .xls to .txt.
Also, how to change data in second or third tab of excel file using GUI_Download.

Reason to set MaxErrorCount along with Propogate value for Excel Files

Hi,
I had an ETL earlier which processed CSV files from a folder. The requirement was to load the error files into a Rejected folder but continue to process all the files from the source Folder. This requirement was satisfied by setting the value of the
system variable "Propogate" in EventHandler section for DataFlowTask to "false".
MaxErrorCount value for the ForEach Loop is having its default value as "1".
When tested, it was working perfectly fine
Now currently there is an Excel file as source having same requirement as above. But even when then variable "Propogate" was set to "false" as above, the execution was getting stopped when an error file was found.
Later I found the below link :
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/0065b5c2-f633-4cbf-81f9-031d1ed25555/how-to-skip-wrong-excel-files-ignore-errors-on-ssis-foreach-task
As mentioned in the link, I have done below changes
1)Set MaxErrorCount for ForEachLoop to 1000
2)"Propogate" variable is set to false
Now this is working perfectly fine.
Can you please let me know why did the setting of "Propogate" worked for CSV but did not work for Excel. For Excel files why was an additional setting for MaxErrorCount was required.
It would be very much helpful if I can get a detail information on the above
Thanks,

Hi Raksha,
In you SSIS package, setting the Propagate system variable to False of the Event Handler prevents the Data Flow Task (DFT) propagating its failure to its parent container. For the ValidateMetadata property of a Data Flow Task Component, it doesn’t only affect
the DFT at design time but also at runtime. During the Validation phase, a component is supposed to check to make sure that the cached metadata in the package is still in sync with the underlying table/view/query. If there is a mismatch, the component returns
a special status (VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA). When this happens at design-time, SSIS triggers a metadata refresh by calling ReinitializeMetadata(). At runtime, this results in an error.
In your scenario, by setting the ValidateMetadata property to false, the error of the DFT is avoided, hence, you don’t need to set the MaxErrorCount to a value more than 1.
For more information about how ValidateMetadate property works, please see Matt’s answer in the following thread:

Custom TCode for Excel File Upload/Import - WebGUI Error

We get an ABAP runtime error when uploading an excel file with a custom tcode using WebGUI. It works ok with WinGUI. Any ideas what could be causing that error?

Can't find "save as" for excel file in Xcelsius

Hello All
I have created a dashboard using Live Office. I made some changes in my excel which is in my dashboard. Now I want to save the excel from xcelsius to my desktop. But I don't see any save as option in excel sheet inside my xcelsius file. I can import the excel files from my desktop but I don't see any option for exporting my excel to my desktop with Live Office connections. Is there any way to do this? Please help....
Thanks
Raghavendra.G

Hi Raghavendra,
Another way is: you can save the excel to BOE using 'Save to BOE' button in Live office tab and then open the excel in BOE and save it where ever you need it.

LSMW Errors for Excel file upload

Hi all,
We've loaded an Excel file with 20,000+ records into SAP using LSMW and a background run. However, the LSMW returned errors for about 2,000 of those records and seems to have processed the other 18,000. Questions as follows:
1. Is there a way to extract the 2000 records into another Excel file?
2. If so, how can I isolate the 2000 records so that I can reload them with correct information? I do not want to have to go through each record one by one to find them.
3. How can I identify what the problem was for a record that produced an error?
Thanks in advance. Points will be awarded for helpful answers.

u have used LSMW which will normally create a Session which will be executed using SM35 in background mode...Goto the session and click on errors...the errors are been shown up..U can correct there itself or else prepare another one with correct data and do a lsmw once again.

Is WebI the best tool for Excel file reporting?

For many years we use BO/DeskI to produce reports. The data source was DB2.
From time to time, the users find the production so user friendly the begin to use DeskI for reports with Excel files for input.
They create hundreads of reports with the 'Rich client' service.
Now we are upgrading to WebI and the Rich Client will be on the server. The BO Service server is a small machine, because of the licences we have.
We have bigs questions :
is WebI/Rich Client still a good solution for Reporting for external file like Excel?
Is this solution will create a ressource problem on the server when more then 100 peoples will connect and use the service?
Should we limite the external file for the rich client location on the server (we do not want to install any more software on client computers like with DeskI)?
Is a product like Crystal Report a better solution for office reporting (file like Excel, Access, text file, etc)?
In one word, is WebI the best solution for office reporting or we should go for a product like Crystal (server, ressources and licence limitation)?
Thanks

You should not compare Crystal Reports with Web Intelligence. If you were using DeskI then you should go with WebI because that means you are using ad-hoc reporting. WebI is the new DeskI. Crystal Reports is used for other purposes not for Ad-hoc reporting. You use Crystal for pixel perfect reports not for analysis.
For excel data sources, are you going to use Excel with universe design or directly in WebI?
If you are going to use it with Universe, then you will have some connection limitations. If more than one user tries to refresh the report based on excel universe, you will get an error.
On the other hand, if you will use the excel directly in WebI, you cannot refresh the report on InfoView (BIlaunch pad).
As you mentioned with not installing client tools then your choice will be the first one excel universes.
Hope this helps.

Function module for Excel file upload

Hi,
I am new to APO technical. My requirement is upload excel file data. However commonly used FM in R/3 for uploading excel files from presentation server are not avaliable ( KCD_EXCEL_OLE_TO_INT_CONVERT , ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE , TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP etc) in APO system(SCM 4.0 version).
Let me know if there are any other FM avaliable and procedure to upload the excel files in APO?
Please let me know if you require any further details.
Regards
Reddy

Hi
The data structures in APO differ from R/3 (e.g. data is held in livecache tables) and hence the FM's you mention will not work in APO.
Try looking at the Wiki pages as there is a lot of useful information there for you, e.g. this example code to download and upload data between Excel and APO:
Link: [Download SCM data into Excel|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SCM/DownloadPlanningdataintoexcel]
Have a look around the Wiki, hopefully it will help you out

Change default app for excel files

Is there a way to change the default app for viewing Excel files sent as email attachments on iphones and ipads? Currently if you tap the file it opens in Quick Look, tap and hold gives other options to open the file. I want to set the tap affect to open the file in numbers instead.

Any email attachment should give you the option of opening it in any app that can at a minimum view the file. In the File function (i.e. by tapping the "box with an arrow" icon), then swiping to the left and tapping "More", you can turn off a handful of apps from appearing, but also change the order in which they appear on the pop up making your app of choice a little quicker to access. Also, if you tap and hold on the attachment icon in the message, it opens the same functionality with going through the quick look.

Save as dialog window for excel file save ....

hi!
i have a jsp that displays all the report names to the clients and when clicked on the report downloads an excel file and saves to the client machine.this is accomplished by calling a servlet that sets the content type as "application/octet-stream" and setting the header as "setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=myExcel.xls")
and writing the bytes to the excel file.works just perfect.
now if you open the excel file and make changes to it and try to save it with a different name by clicking 'save as' option from file menu, the 'save as file type' by default shows "text" instead of excel worksheet.
have you guys come across this problem anytime....
kindly let me know you have any suggestions ..
thanks in advance,
/rahul

one more point:
the save as list box displays "myExcel.xls"(with quotes) where it should have displayed simply myExcel.

File path for excel file

Hi Everyone,
I am writing and reading data from an Excel file (see code) and it works but I have to specify the path in the script and if I want to change the file I have to change the file path in the code.
I would like to create a window that pops and asks the user to pick the excel file he wants to work with, copy the path and replace
"C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\DIAdem 2012\Documents\Constant Radius\USED\Test.xlsx" by that path.
I hope someone can give me a hand with this.....
Thanks

How to create a passsword protection for EXCEL file

Hi,
I have created EXCEL, CSV and DBF file generation through Oracle PL/SQL. Now my client expecting to create a password protection. Can anyone tell me how to create a passsword protected file?
Cheers,

How to protect an EXCEL file is not an Oracle issue and I don't think you can do this through PL/SQL. It's part of MS Office maintenance itself and it depends on the version:

Insert statement not work for Excel file

Hi,
In my JDBC application, I have a "INSERT ..." statement to add a new recode to a Excel file. When I run this application, the statement is executed successfully(no Exception), however the excel file doesnot change at all.
I am still able to run "SELECT ..." from the excel file, I am really confused.
Anybody could help me on this?
Thanks.

How do you see that the Excel file hasn't changed?
Do a select on the new record?
Open / Reopen with Excel?
Look at the file size?
What if you close your connection? Is a change apparent then?

URLConnection for Excel file

Hi All,
I'm trying to download and save an Excel file using URLConnection.
The below code works and I can open the resulting file in Excel.
However, the resulting file is about twice the size of the same file downloaded though the browser.
Also, I can't open the file using the JXL java Excel library (but can with the browser downloaded version)
I'm thinking maybe it's using a different encoding when downloading the file resulting in the bigger filesize.
Any thoughts or previous experiences appreciated!
Thanks
