Opening Excel Spreadsheet from ABAP

Hello,
Is there any way to put data from an ABAP program into an existing Excel spreadsheet? I know how to put the data into a new spreadsheet but my users want to put the data into an existing spreadsheet where they have developed macros.
Thanks,
Becky

Hi Becky
Here is a procedure using OLE automation.
DATA gs_excel TYPE ole2_object .
DATA gs_wbooks TYPE ole2_object .
DATA gs_wbook TYPE ole2_object .
DATA gs_application TYPE ole2_object .
CREATE OBJECT gs_excel 'EXCEL.APPLICATION' .
SET PROPERTY OF gs_excel 'Visible' = 1 .
GET PROPERTY OF gs_excel 'Workbooks' = gs_wbooks .
GET PROPERTY OF gs_wbooks 'Application' = gs_application .
*--Opening the existing document
CALL METHOD OF gs_wbooks 'Open' = gs_wbook
EXPORTING #1 = <file_path_var> .
"*--After this point you can go on processing the sheet
using OLE Automation techniques"
If it is just the template to be stored you can save the template .xls file at the application server each time downloading it to a temporary place to open. Or you can store it at SAP Office templates folder. For SAP Office operations you can inspect "BC_SO_*" masked FMs.
And as a last thing, let me introduce you the SDN forums pointing system: You can assign points to posts you find helpful while solving your question. You can reward points by clicking the yellow star icon at header of each reply post. You can reward;

Automatically open excel spreadsheets with numbers

can anyone tell me is it possible to set numbers as the default application to ALWAYS open excel spreadsheets? each time i try to open an excel spreadsheet the computer starts up the trial office software. I then have to cancel and choose "open with" and then set "always open with" numbers.
Having just converted from Windows, I was able to set certain programs to always handle specific file formats, e.g. .jpg, mpeg, avi so I did not have to choose the program every single time i wanted to open a file.
thx., same goes for pages ,in lieu of word?

Select an Excel file and option-select (Right Mouse Button) and select Get "Info". See attachment below to set "Open With."

Can no longer open Excel spreadsheets attachments.

I have recently upgraded to iOS 5 on my iphone4 and 3GS and can no longer open Excel spreadsheets attachments from my Hotmail. They come up as an E (which I think is Evernote). I don't want to use Evernote, I just want to view them as I could before. Even simple spreadsheets come as this annoying E when I try to open them. Everything worked fine before I did the iOS 5 upgrade and went with the cloud. I've no idea how to this happend or how to solve it.
Can anyone please help?

Generally if this happens the thing I have found to do is to quit the application and then restart the application by clicking on one of the files (like the ones in your documnets folder), not by starting the application and using the open command. Doing this immediately will usually solve the problem.
This could also be an indication of some sort of file or disk corruption so I would recommend that you not only check the disk using Disk Utility from the CD but also checking your disk permissions just to be sure. Instructions for doing so can be found in steps one and two here: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
If the first two steps don't solve the problem then you might as well go to step three, otherwise stop with one and two.
If you have backups and cannot get the files to open then your only other choice will be to restore from the backup copies. Either way I would make sure that my disk was healthy, by following the above noted steps, before doing the restore, otherwise you may corrupt the restored copy.
Good Luck and let us know if this helps!!

Moving Excel Spreadsheets from Work to Home

I have had this problem for the past month. The problem is when moving Excel
spreadsheets from home to work only (1) out of (6) will not open. It says there is not enough memory. The other spreadsheets are larger so I know the allocation is ok. The work computer is an IMac running system 9.2, the home
computers are a G4 IMac and a G3 IBook. Both of these are running Tiger 10.4.4. These spreadsheets open on both of these Tiger computers.
I use a 128MB USBDrive for moving files back and forth. One thing I have noticed recently is that when opening at work the Icons say PC. I have a newer version of Excel at home, cannot load that version at work because it is not compatible with system 9.2.
Help????????

Hi, klugej -
I don't use OSX, so can't suggest a method there. However, in OS 9, try highlighting the icon of the drive (click on it once), then select Erase from the Special menu. With luck, that will offer one of the Mac formats (probably Mac OS Standard) as well as MS-DOS.

Troubleshooting issues opening Excel spreadsheets

Platform: SP 2010 service pack 2. Office 2010, windows 7 on user laptop , IE 9 32 bit browser.
several users started calling recently about problems opening Excel spreadsheets. They are on different SharePoint sites on the same site collection.
No changes/patches have been made to SharePoint.
No changes to the site collection features of configuration of which I am aware.
The site collection is configured that users clicking on a doc library item opens in the application associated with the file type.
When I, as a farm admin (which I need to do due to permissions), and I click on the Excel documents on person 1's troubled site, they open in Excel as expected.
When the person reporting the problem clicks on the Excel spreadsheets, he gets one of two behaviors.
On the first paginated page (documents 1-31) , if he clicks on an Excel document, two instances of the Excel application opens.
On page 3 (documents 61-90) when he clicks on an Excel document, the excel data appears within the web page itself with a button at the top that says "Open in Excel". When he clicks that, he gets an error box that states
To open this workbook, your computer must have a version of Microsoft Excel installed and your web browser must support opening files directly from Excel in the browser.
This of course is interesting since on the first page, clicking on one of the documents uses the version of Excel installed and opens the file directly.
None of these behavior, of course, can I duplicate.
And, just to add another confusing item to the list, if this person goes to a different doc library and everything works fine.
So this does not seem to be related to add-ons (why would add-ons act differently between sites?).
The sites that I have examined all have the same advanced setting regarding opening the document in the client app rather than the browser.
I have not yet started the process of having a repair on Office 2010 be broken in a way that on different pages different behaviors occur?

Well, after the admins performed the repair on Office 2010, the user was able to click on Excel workbooks and have them open as expected.

"An error occurred sending the command to the application" When trying to open excel document from outlook 2007

Error message "An error occurred sending the command to the application" When trying to open excel document from outlook 2007.
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
If I save the document then it opens fine, messing with default file associations does not resolve this problem, I've googled for ir it and some suggest unticking compatibility mode or "run as admin" for excel application, neither is selected in my case.
Outlook is configured to run as remote application from remoteApp server, this error is only occurring for one user, for others excel documents open just fine.

Hi
Thank you for using
Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
From your description, we can Create a trusted location follow these steps
Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Excel Options.
Click Trust Center, click Trust Center Settings, and then click
Trusted Locations.
If you want to create a trusted location that is not local to your computer, select the Allow trusted locations on my network (not recommended) check
box.
Click Add new location.
IMPORTANT We recommended that you don't make your entire
Documents or My Documents folder a trusted location. Doing so creates a larger target for a hacker to potentially exploit and increases your security risk. Create a subfolder within Documents or My Documents, and make only that folder a trusted location.
In the Path box, type the name of the folder that you want to use as a trusted location, or click Browse to
locate the folder.
If you want to include subfolders as trusted locations, select the
Subfolders of this location are also trusted check box.
In the Description box, type what you want to describe the purpose of the trusted location.
Click OK.

Hi Amit Bansal,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
This forum is for developers discussing developing issues involve Excel application.
According to the description, you got an error when you open the document form SharePoint site.
Based on my understanding, this issue maybe relative to the SharePoint, I would like move it to
SharePoint 2013 - General Discussions and Questions forum.
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.
Thanks for your understanding.

Can't open Excel files from Sharepoint 2013

I am having an issue with opening Excel files from SharePoint 2013. If I click on an excel file it comes up with the error below.
If I click Try again I get the message below also:
If I try to open Word or PDF files they open correctly in the appropriate client and I have the option of checking them out and editing them. Any ideas why this would only be happening to Excel files?
Thanks,
Shaun

Hi Shaun,
I understand that the Excel files cannot be opened from SharePoint in Microsoft Excel.
Can these files be viewed in the browser?
I recommend to download a copy of the files with issue and then open them in Excel to see if the issue still occurs.
If above cannot work, I recommend to repair Office.
Best regards.
Thanks

Ole excel application from abap

Hi all ,
           I   an calling one excel application from abap . I   don't want to make excel file visible , but insted want to save and close the file , by using method
saveas for excel application and later i want to see the file . file name i want to store in a variable .
eg :
CALL METHOD OF H_EXCEL 'FILESAVEAS' = RC
EXPORTING #1 = filename .
Can it be possible ?
regards,
SA

hi
i simpler method will be to use the function modules for this purpose.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
       EXPORTING
         PROGRAM_NAME        = SYST-CPROG
         DYNPRO_NUMBER       = SYST-DYNNR
         FIELD_NAME          = ' '
         IMPORTING
           file_name           = file_name .
          lc_filename = file_name.
          CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
            EXPORTING
            BIN_FILESIZE                    =
              filename                        = lc_filename
              filetype                        = 'DAT'
            TABLES
              data_tab                        = gt_itab.
          IF sy-subrc <> 0.
          MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
          ENDIF.
Fn module F4_filename will prompt for the name of the file to be saved and GUI_DOWNLOAD will save the file.
gt_itab is the internal table containing the data to be stored in excel.

Opening excel docs from email quickly

Can Numbers automatically open excel docs from email? I always have to save the file and then open the Numbers program, then open file.

If Numbers is defined as the app opening XL files, a double click in the xls file in Mail opens it in Numbers.
You may also try to drag the attachment on the Numbers's icon.
