How to read only particualr columns from excel sheet to internal table

Question

Hi,
I have and excel sheet which has around 20 columns, in which i want to read only 6 columns. They are at different column positions, means the 1st column, 6thcolumn, 8th column so on..
Can we do this in sap? do we have any FM to do this?
Thanks.

hi,
Use the below logic to fetch the data into internal table..You need to read the data cell by cell and update the internal table,
DATA l_count TYPE sy-tabix.
   CONSTANTS: lc_begin_col TYPE i VALUE '1',
              lc_begin_row TYPE i VALUE '2',
              lc_end_col   TYPE i VALUE '2',
              lc_end_row   TYPE i VALUE '3000'.
  CLEAR p_i_excel_data. REFRESH p_i_excel_data.
* Function module to read excel file and convert it into internal table
   CALL FUNCTION 'KCD_EXCEL_OLE_TO_INT_CONVERT'
     EXPORTING
       filename                = p_p_file
       i_begin_col             = lc_begin_col
       i_begin_row             = lc_begin_row
       i_end_col               = lc_end_col
       i_end_row               = lc_end_row
     TABLES
       intern                  = i_data
     EXCEPTIONS
       inconsistent_parameters = 1
       upload_ole              = 2
       OTHERS                  = 3.
* Error in file upload
   IF sy-subrc NE 0 .
     MESSAGE text-006 TYPE 'E'.
     EXIT.
   ENDIF.
   IF i_data[] IS INITIAL .
     MESSAGE text-007 TYPE 'E'.
     EXIT.
   ELSE.
     SORT i_data BY row col .
* Loop to fill data in Internal Table
     LOOP AT i_data .
       MOVE i_data-col TO l_count .
       ASSIGN COMPONENT l_count OF STRUCTURE p_i_excel_data TO <fs_source> .
       MOVE i_data-value TO <fs_source> .
       AT END OF row .
* Append data into internal table
         APPEND p_i_excel_data.
         CLEAR p_i_excel_data.
       ENDAT .
     ENDLOOP .
   ENDIF .
