Allowing client to upload/download standardised excel file for testing [Beginner]

Hi,
New to development so please bear with me if this stuff is super easy (really hope it is).
I'm developing a simple web app that will run some stat tests on data, however, I want any user to be able to upload the info they want to test in a pre-formatted excel sheet rather than have them input it. The website would then show the tables, run the
tests in the cloud, and return results plus highlighting individual rows that are over certain thresholds. I then want the user to be able to download the result and the highlighted rows back to a new excel sheet.
I'm looking for a simple way to do this that will allow me to
mess around a bit with the formatting of the uploaded table to make it look a bit nicer and more in line with the flat design of the site
make sure the file you download looks good when you open it in excel again
I've heard office 365 has a lot of useful API calls and as there's now a free version online perhaps it's possible to integrate that into a site? I'm also assuming there are some conversion methods to migrate an excel file into MySQL, but are there then
potential issues migrating back, especially formatting etc?
Thanks in advance, and sorry again if this is just too basic.

Hi Freppas,
For this requirement, I suggest that you could consider Open XML SDK for office. For this way, you could easy do something for the uploaded excel file.
There are some links that can help you:

Upload and download of excel file in the application server in background

Hi all,
i want to download the excel file from application server into internal table and after processing i have to upload to excel file in the application server in the background mode..
i mean i'll schedule the program in background.
im using FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE its working fine in fore ground but not in back ground.
what method i have to follow ?

Hi Ankit,
I think this is not possible to open a Excel-File from the application server because the Excel format before Office 2007 where a binary format (Suffix: .xls). The newer Office file format (Suffix: xlsx) is a zipped XML Format. To read the binary Excel-Format you need an OLE Connection between SAP GUI and Office. But at the application server in background you doesn't have this OLE Connection.
In my opinion you have two possibilities:
1. Convert all files in the CSV format. This file format can be read with open dataset.
2. Upload the files from the presentation server in forground. There are some funktion modules in the standard which can read the xls format. But they have some limits regarding the length of cells content.
My recommendation is solution no. 1. If you know an VBA expert, he can write an Excel-macro which converts all Excel Files in the CSV-Fomat.

Dirk

Download & upload of an excel file

Hi,
      I have a requirement where the data needs to be downloaded into an excel file and user will upload the same excel file after making required changes in the data.
I have used 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' to download the data to excel file. I have tried to upload the same excel file using 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE' and 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP' function modules. But it is giving exceptions if I upload the same downloaded file directly. If I copy the data in the downloaded file to another excel file and upload this file, it is working.
I have tried using 'GUI_UPLOAD' with field separator which was also specified in 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' but in this case the data is uploaded into the internal table like,.
###&jkj, 0000 .......
Please suggest any other alternative.
Thanks & Regards,
Vishnu Priya

Firstly, Thanks for Your quick Response, Thomas.
Even though what ever may be the file name I am passing either info.xml or Info.xls , In error info.xls is coming.
Kindly provide me an alternative on this XML doesn't seem like it would match the 'application/vnd.ms-excel'.
what is the supported format.?
Similarly, It is not considering the UTF-8 / UTF-16 for xml.........same result is appearing in the output.

HT2488 How do I create a workflow in Automator or a script in AppleScripts to download an excel file from a specific webpage?

I would like to create a workflow in Automator or a script in AppleScript (or a combination of the two), that opens Safari to a specified page and downloads an excel file from this page and saves the downloaded document to my desktop.
Is this something that be done? If so, how?
I have so far been able to build a workflow in Automator to open Safari and added an AppleScript that takes Safari to a specific page that has an Excel document.
I can't figure out where to go from here... Any help would be apprecitated.
Thanks!

Would you have the web address the excel sheet is on?
Is there a simular web page you could point to if not?
Would there be a copy of the file on an FTP page. This would be easier.
curl
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mac-os-x-terminal-download-file/
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/04/curl-examples/
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
# Press return to run a command.
the curl is a terminal command ( Unix ). It allows you to read a file off of the web.
man curl
provides cryptic information on the commnad curl.
press the space bar to advance a page.
press letter to q to quit.
What you may have to is to read in the web page as a text file. Go "fishing" through the page to find the excel file you need. Once you find the file, you can use curl to read the file.
curl is a very full featured command. (read complex to figure out ).
It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding log statements to your script to see what is going on. Here is an example.
    Author: rccharles
    For testing, run in the Script Editor.
      1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log statement
      2) Click on Run
    For running shell commands see:
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html
on run
    -- Write a message into the event log.
    log " --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
    -- debug lines
    set desktopPath to (path to desktop) as string
    log "desktopPath = " & desktopPath
    set unixDesktopPath to POSIX path of desktopPath
    log "unixDesktopPath = " & unixDesktopPath
    set quotedUnixDesktopPath to quoted form of unixDesktopPath
    log "quoted form is " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
    try
        set fromUnix to do shell script "ls -l " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
        display dialog "ls -l of " & quotedUnixDesktopPath & return & fromUnix
    on error errMsg

Change Value While Uploading data From Excel File

Dear Expert,
Please guide me is it Possible?, if yes then How?
We have one BDC Uploader there After uploading data from Excel File, i want to check one field like this....
if it_f65data-newbs contains any Alphabet.
then user Should be able to change value on the same time while executing Program in table.
Please tell me how i can change value in running program
Regards'
Shelly Malik

Hi,
What you can probably do is, perform a consistency check on your data in the internal table and segregate all those rows that have inconsistent data (in your case, the field NEWBS containing albhabets) into another temporary internal table. Display the temporary internal table in an editable ALV grid saying that these data have not been inserted to the database, coz they have inconsistent data in the field NEWBS. Allow the user to edit and then save the data which will consequently refresh the internal table contents.

User is not able to download specific excel file in sharepoint

Hi,
Could you please help?
thanks
srabon

Hi Srabon,
According to your description, my understanding is that you cannot download the excel file from SharePoint.
I recommend to check if the Download a Copy buttons can be used in the Excel web app and in the ribbon of the library.
If both the two buttons cannot work, I recommend to check the permission of the user on the excel file and check if the Information Rights Management is enabled in the library.
When Information Rights Management is enabled in the library and the user has only read permission on the document, then the file cannot be downloaded.
