ALV download to EXCEL -- probs with SAPGUI 6.40 and EXCEL 2007

I have a method in an ALV grid which performs a dowload to excel
Here's the method
method download_to_excel.
field-symbols:
       <fs0> type standard table,
       <fs1> type standard table.
    assign g_outtab1->* to <fs0>.
    assign g_fldcat1->* to <fs1>.
       call function  'LVC_TRANSFER_TO_KKBLO'
      exporting
        it_fieldcat_lvc   = <fs1>
    is_layout_lvc     = m_cl_variant->ms_layout
         is_tech_complete  = ' '
      importing
        es_layout_kkblo   = ls_layout
        et_fieldcat_kkblo = lt_fieldcat.
    loop at lt_fieldcat into lt_fieldcat_wa.
      clear lt_fieldcat_wa-tech_complete.
      if lt_fieldcat_wa-tabname is initial.
        lt_fieldcat_wa-tabname = '1'.
        modify lt_fieldcat from lt_fieldcat_wa.
      endif.
      l_tabname = lt_fieldcat_wa-tabname.
    endloop.
    call function 'ALV_XXL_CALL'
         exporting
              i_tabname           = l_tabname
              is_layout           = ls_layout
              it_fieldcat         = lt_fieldcat
              i_title             = sy-title
         tables
              it_outtab           = <fs0>
         exceptions
              fatal_error         = 1
              no_display_possible = 2
              others              = 3.
    if  sy-subrc <> 0.
      message id sy-msgid type 'S' number sy-msgno
             with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
    endif.
endmethod.
Basically the method converts the GRID table I'm displaying into the format requred for FMOD ALV_XXL_CALL' -- the field catalog is slightly different but no big deal here.
This works fine when downloading to  EXCEL 2003 but short dumps when trying to do the same thing for EXCEL 2007.
Workstation is running Windows XP / SP2 build 2600 in both cases.
Any fixes etc or should I stick with EXCEL 2003 until forced to upgrade.
Cheers

Hi all
Seems the problem disappeared after applying the latest patch to SAP_GUI 6.40.
I haven't tried SAP_GUI 7.0 yet.
Thanks anyway
Cheers

  • Does 'versions' work with microsoft word, ppt and excel or just pages, keynote and numbers?

    Does 'versions' work with microsoft word, ppt and excel or just pages, keynote and numbers? I tried to do what the videos say but the little icon for versions is not there on word. Does this mean it only works for pages etc... or do i have to activate it somehow? If it is only for pages then this ***** and should be better advertised!!!

    Each application will need to be updated to work with Versions, Full Screen, and other Lion-specific features.

    Hi
    Did You put in a mini-DVD ?
    Must use a DVD-player which is tray-loaded to play these.
    You might (on 100% Your own responsibility) try to partly fix a piece of "Scotch tape" on a piece of cardboard and try to "fish it out" - the DVD might stick to the tape and in some cases can be GENTLY ! ! pulled out.
    NO GUARANTEE of success.
    Other have turned their Macs to help the eject process.

    Go to Apple Store and get Professional HELP.

  • I have an Ipad2, an Iphone 4 . I want to be able to sync both of these with my Windows desktop and Outlook 2007. I would like to sync to and from the Idevices and Outlook.

    I have an Ipad2, an Iphone 4 . I want to be able to sync both of these with my Windows desktop and Outlook 2007. I would like to sync to and from the Idevices and Outlook. When I attempt to sync in itunes I get a popup message asking if I want to delete, Merge or cancel. Not wanting to delete of cancel the only option left is Merge.
                When selecting Merge all of the entries in outlook are added to the idevice. The next time I merge all of the same entries plus any new ones are added, resulting in older entries being repeated i.e an entry like “John’s Birthday” will appear 5 or 6 times on the same date.
                How do I resolve this issue? How do I get the the sync process to add only new entries?

    This is a great question. First, facetime will not work because it has to establish a Call connection first. iMessage should work, but how to get it going I am not sure. Two great Apps to try are, Viber and Skype. Viber is excellent, it works over WiFi, you can make free calls and free text messages all over the world with other users who have Viber installed. It does not even have to be open on screen to work. Viber does have to recieve one text message with activation code, to activate it, this will be your only hurdle, but maybe Verizon can help you get that one text message. Skype does have to be open on screen however, but this can function like Facetime with WiFi connection. Definitely get Viber free in App Store, and put it on all your iDevices so the old Verizon iPhone can function as a telephone when on WiFi.

  • XL Reporter with Windows Vista Basic and Excel 2007

    Hi there,
    I am facing a problem with my SAP Business One edition. I am using XL Reporter with my Windows XP Professional Edition and Microsoft Office 2003 and/or 2007, and it works perfectly, but when i try to connect my laptop, loaded with Windows Vista Basic edition and Microsoft Office 2007, it does not support.
    When i try to add IXXLReporter.dll in Excel 07, it does not work, it neither shows me any error or any confirmation message. When i try to run XL Reporter from SAP, it starts process and hangs.
    Can anybody tell me perfectly that whether SAP B1 is compatible with Vista Home Edition or not ...???
    If it works, what changes i have to make in my SAP or Vista or Excel, please inform me soon. . .

  • Problem with solver DLL load and Excel 2010

    Since upgrading from Office 2007 to Office 2010 we've started to experience a problem with the solver addin when our own analytics addins is also loaded. I have found a solution, but I think it may highlight a problem with the latest version of the solver
    addin for Excel 2010.
    Firstly, to describe the problem - the solver addin seems to load normally when Excel 2010 starts up, however when a "Solve" is performed we are seeing a "File not found: Solver32.dll" error at the final "Keep Solver Solution" stage. This only happens our
    own analytics addin is loaded. We've been careful to make sure that our own addin does not change the working directory and also that it has been built against the correct Excel 2010 SDK libraries. We do not see this error with any other versions of Excel
    running on the same PC or any other environment.
    After some searching we found other people were having similar problems and after a bit more probing I found a solution that works - but that I'm not very happy with.
    If I copy the Solver32.dll from:
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\Library\SOLVER
        (where it was installed)
    into :
      C:\Windows\SysWOW64 
        (where Windows 7 keeps its 32 bit system DLLs)
    then the problem goes away.
    This seems to indicate that somehow Office 2010 has a problem that causes it to search in the wrong folder for the Solver32.dll when another addin is loaded in between the original Solver32.XLAM at start up and the use of the Solver in the sheet (which eventually
    requires this DLL to be loaded). Oddly, this only happens after a solution is found and "Keep Solver Solution" is selected - and I'm not sure why it's not looking for Solver32.dll any earlier.
    This is not a problem with any earlier versions of Excel and I suspect is a bug in the Office14/LIBRARY/SOLVER implementation. Is there any way to get this followed up?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    I'm facing the same issue. With an Excel VSTO add-in we're building. When the add-in is enabled the assembly solver32.dll can't be found. With our add-in disabled the DLL is resolved as (Sysinternals Process Monitor trace):
    EXCEL.EXE CreateFile

    EXCEL.EXE CreateFile

    and with our add-in enabled the following locations are tried, but solver32.dll won't be found:
    excel.exe CreateFile

  • Why does Excel save with a number added and to the desktop

    I have just updated to Maverick and I love it. However, when I amend a spreadsheet in Excel 2008 and save the file it adds a number to the file name and saves it to the desktop instead ofits original location. I find this extremely irritating. Can someone help?

    MartinR
    I am doing Save exactly as I used to do with Mountain Lion. I have been experimenting and have found a strange effect which is entirely down to Maverick. If I open the Excel file from the Dock and amend it will save it to the Desktop with a number added to the file name. However, If I open the file from its original location and amensd the file it will save it to its original location without changing the file name. I then dragged the original of the file on to the desktop, amended it and closed it and it saved it to the desktop without altering the file name. This is somthing that Apple needs to look into and not Microsoft.
    This means that I will have to drag all Excel files that I regularly use on to the desktop and not into the Dock. I have one large and complex Excel file with 60 sheets and regularly save as I work on it. Puting it into the Dock would create a nightmare.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Missing Default Excel page (with three Globes) in BPC Excel client

    Hi,
    I installed BPC Excel client on the user's laptop, installation was succesfull but when I logon the default page with three globes is missing.
    This effects any BPC Excel functionality?
    I tried uninstall and Installing again but no luck..
    Can anyone please suggest how to bring the default BPC excel page?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Are you accessing BPC via remote? We have the same issue some times with BPC excel. After the initial log in we dont get to see the excel spreadsheet straight away. I click then on the 'home' button or use the 'back' button to see the page with the globes.
    This does not affect any BPC excel functionality.
    Thanks

  • Hierarchical ALV list with control of printout and Excel download

    Hello everybody,
    i have to write a program, that has to generate a hierarchical master/client list. The list should
    have the same functionality, that a standard ALV Grid
    offers (sorting, grouping, OLE export to Excel). The printout must show a new sheet for every master group.
    ALV grid does not allow to display hierarchical lists. The ALV hierarchical list and blocklist view switches to
    text mode with no "single click Excel activation". I have tried to implement the &XXL ok_code, but in text mode, there is no chance to activate this single-table functionality.
    Another possibility seems to be ALV tree, but there is no
    possibility to control the printout (new sheet at group level) and the given practice, to load child nodes at selection, is not acceptable for my kind of program (all childs have to be expanded and the printout must contain a dialog to print i.e. a "from to group" selection).
    Does anyone have an idea, to solve this problem in an easy object oriented way? my only thought at this time is, to use a standard ABAP list and to integrate Excel via document office integration. This gives me the fullcontrol about printout and export, but it needs far more time then ALV.
    Another possibility may be, to develop a custom control, based on VS with Flexgrid, Singray or ComponentOne tools, but ich have to go as near as possible to SAP standard, without using 3rd party programming systems or controls.
    I'm glad about tip's!

  • Excel files with fields linked to other excel files take a long time to open from SharePoint library

    Trying to track a problem for a user.
    Most of the documents opened from our SharePoint libraries appear to open in a timely fashion.
    But...one user has noticed an issue, and I just noticed something with her files that are a little less common than other stuff we've seen.
    she has a lot of pricelist excel files.  there are some master price list files, and then other files that link to fields from within the master files.
    the files that contain links to other files appear to be the ones that open very slowly.
    the files are being opened via excel itself, not the owa viewer or editor.
    is there a trick to setting up either the library, the site, site collection or web app... or some client-side setting that affects how quickly/efficiently excel will open files that link to other excel files shared within sharepoint?

    Hi  carphuntin_god,
    According to your description, my understanding  is that when you click a hyperlink which redirect to other files , the file are opened very slowly via excel client.
    How about you download the same file and open it using excel client? If it is opened quite fast, the issue should be caused by some third-party add-ins in the office program or antivirus soft.
    Here is a similar thread you can have a look:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ff0c5306-5300-4010-a760-c4cca320b6fc/excell-file-taking-long-time-to-open-and-edit?forum=officesetupdeploylegacy

    If you want to open the files using excel service after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
    General Syntax:         
    http://<server_name>/<site_name>/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=<workbook path>&range=<location>
    For example:              
    http://CorpServer/DeptA89/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=http://Mfct/Stats/Shared%20Documents/Parts.xlsx&range=Widgets!A1:F25
    For more information:

    If you want to open the files using Office Web Apps after click  the link in the excel file,  you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
    http://<server name> / <site name> / <library name>/<your file name> ?web=1
    For example:
    http://sp/Shared%20Documents/exceltest.xlsx?Web=1

  • Excel Automation with Interop - Windows Service - Microsoft Excel cannot access the file

    I have a windows console application, which automates Excel. In our scenario the application gets called from a Windows Service. If the console app is executed directly everything works fine. If the console app is executed through the Win Service, we get
    the following error when trying to open the excel file:
    Unhandled exception Occured : 'Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'bla.xls'. There are several possible reasons:
    The file name or path does not exist.
    The file is being used by another program.
    The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.'.'
    The code snippet used to open the file:
    xlApp = new Application();xlApp.Visible = false;xlApp.UserControl = false;xlApp.Application.ScreenUpdating = false;xlApp.DisplayAlerts = false;xlWorkbook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open( Filename: filePath,  UpdateLinks: 2,  IgnoreReadOnlyRecommended: true, Editable: false);
    The console app and windows service are running on a Win Server 2008 64-bit OS with Excel 2013 32-bit installed. The service is running with a special user account, which has all the right permissions on accessed files and folders. The excel process is also
    started with the same account (I cheched that one). 
    I already tried to do the following, but to no avail:
    Run excel.exe /automation -> worked fine
    Created the folders and also gave full control to the account under which the service is run (even gave full control to Everyone)

    C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop
    Configured DCOM
    Excel Application -> Identity -> Specific user account
    Excel Application -> Identity -> Interactive User
    Excel Application -> Security -> Launch permissions -> Everyone full control
    Several combinations of the above
    So I really am stuck with this problem right now. Any input on this is appreciated.

    I have a windows console application, which automates Excel. In our scenario the application gets called from a Windows Service. If the console app is executed directly everything works fine. If the console app is executed through the Win Service, we get
    the following error when trying to open the excel file
    Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office
    may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.
    If you are building a solution that runs in a server-side context, you should try to use components that have been made safe for unattended execution. Or, you should try to find alternatives that allow at least part of the code to run client-side.
    If you use an Office application from a server-side solution, the application will lack many of the necessary capabilities to run successfully. Additionally, you will be taking risks with the stability of your overall solution.
    You can read more about that in the
    Considerations for server-side Automation of Office article.

  • Strange behaviour with ActiveX invoke node and Excel

    I want to send a table of numbers from LV50.1f to Excel97. After getting a
    reg to Excel8.Application I retrieve the Workbooks property, Invoke Item to
    select a certain Workbook reference, retrieve the Worksheets collection
    reference, Invoke Item and then get a reference to WORKBOOKS again.
    Strangely, there is an example code from the NI web site that does exactly
    the same, but in the last step a variant is returned in stead of a
    reference, which is converted using Variant to G to a Worksheet reference.
    when I copied that last invoke node to my VI I also had a variant returned,
    so on one diagram I had to invoke nodes connected to the same sources, one
    returning a ref, the other returning a variant!
    Disco
    nnecting the sources to my Invoke node and rewiring gave no change.
    Also type casting the ref to workbooks to a worksheets ref, didn't work - I
    get errors in the following property node that retrieves a Range - which
    exists in Worksheet, but not in Workbooks.
    Appearantly, LV gets the returned type mixed up sometimes, and there is no
    way to fix it other then copying a invoke node from another diagram?
    Finally I got it working though, but this behaviour puzzles me. Contrary to
    the example from NI, I now managed to send a table (2d array of strings) in
    one call to Excel (don;t need to loop over cells or columns).
    PS
    I used to do the same using DDE but ranges are different for each language
    version of Excel (i.e. R1C1 for English and R1K1 for Dutch), so my VI's need
    to know the language of Excel. Also with NT and Win98, getting a DDE
    connection often hangs LV. But a big progress has been made - now I need
    different VI's for each version of Excel!!!

    Hi Enric,
    Can you try your queries again using the new release of DB XML? It contains some improvements in this area.
