ALV download to EXCEL with column headings etc.

Getting data from a grid to EXCEL can be done in "List" mode vis system==>save etc but it's not particularly user friendly and in any case if you are displaying a nice ALV why should the user have to switch into LIST mode anyway.
Anyway here's a decent way to do it and it gives great formatted column headings etc etc.
1) in the ON_TOOLBAR method add this code
method ON_TOOLBAR.
type-pools icon.
CLEAR ls_toolbar.
MOVE 0 TO ls_toolbar-butn_type.
    MOVE 'EXCEL' TO ls_toolbar-function.
    MOVE space TO ls_toolbar-disabled.
    MOVE icon_xxl TO ls_toolbar-icon.
    MOVE 'Excel' TO ls_toolbar-quickinfo.
    MOVE 'EXCEL' TO ls_toolbar-text.
    APPEND ls_toolbar TO e_object->mt_toolbar.
2) In the ON_USER_COMMAND method add the following
(if you have a class defined with SE24 you don't need the commented code).
method ON_USER_COMMAND.
       FOR EVENT before_user_command OF cl_gui_alv_grid
       IMPORTING
         e_ucomm
         sender.
CASE e_ucomm.
     .......   other toolbar funcs if you have any
      WHEN 'EXCEL'.
        CALL METHOD me->download_to_excel.
    ENDCASE.
endmethod.
3) code this method to download to EXCEL
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.
You get nice column headings etc and decently formatted EXCEL spreadsheet.
For Office 2007 I think you need to apply a SAP note but it certainly works with OFFICE 2003 which is what we are still using.

Details: Numbers not translating an Excel document with column headings where the text is rotated counter clockwise 90 degrees with-in the cell. Can you tell me how I can rotate the contents with-in a cell?

Details: Numbers not translating an Excel document with column headings where the text is rotated counter clockwise 90 degrees with-in the cell. Can you tell me how I can rotate the contents with-in a cell?

Numbers does not have rotated text within cells. You can place a text box over the cell that has rotated text but you cannot rotate text within a cell.

ALV download to excel inquiry

Hi,
I have a problem with regards to the ALV download to excel. I have an ALV grid with 40 columns and i need to download the output to an excel file. But after downloading the ALV output, i noticed that some columns are already on the next line. i need to have all columns to be in the same line. Does anyone have an idea how to prevent columns to be printed in the next line?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Merriam

Looks like Note 855314 has a workaround ... my be more.
Of course (yuk!), write you own download.
Best!

Does anyone have a report using cfdocument that produces a ledger type report with column headings?

I need to see some sample source code of a report with column headings and detail data. I can't get my column titles in the header to line up with the detail no matter what I do. Can anyone spare me a good sample?
I have tried to use tables to specify both col headings and detail, but no chance to get them to line up. There has to be a way. I can't use the report builder because I need more control of when page breaks print, what data is on each line, etc. Hopefully some kind soul out there has a good sample.
Thanks!
Dave

Your MBP is actually a mid-2010, not a 2008. That's what the 6,2 model indicates.There's an issue with the graphics module on that machine. There was a program in place to replace the motherboard within 3 years of purchase, but you're probably outside of that. Some folks have supposedly gotten theirs changed outside of that period, so you can try.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
What you can do to use it is download gfxstatus from http:gfx.io and force the graphics to Intel. That would affect your work with Final Cut, but at least you might be able to use the machine.

Thank You,

hi,
it would have been better if u hve opt for creating workarea for ur internal table.
Try to use "clear it_final" after
CONCATENATE '894412' it_final-SI INTO IT_FINAL.
n also change the modify statement :
modify it_final transporting SI .
hope this will surely help you

ALV download to Excel--Problem with Column Headers

Hi,
I have created a dynamic internal table and displaying it as ALV using SALV classes. Problem is that when I download this ALV to Excel I'm not getting Column headings same as they are in ALV display.
I mean in Excel it is showing Column headings taken from domain or data element.
While creating dynamic table i'm passing short/ Medium & Long text too. Still it is not working.
Any kinda help is appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Vivek Gaur
Edited by: Vivek Gaur on Nov 4, 2009 2:04 PM

Look I cant actually post the code as it is divided in some global classes and main program. But i can elaborate the steps little further:
1: I have created a field catalog for Dynamic internal table. In it i have passed every necessary field along with short/medium/Long texts.
2: I fill up this dynamic table with data.
3: I assign a field symbol to this dynamic internal table.
4: I pass this field symbol to the factory method of CL_SALV_TABLE Class.
Thats it buddy..Hope u have understood my problem.

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

ALV / Download to Excel - columns transposed

A developer on my team has this problem:
We have a ALV report that gives the user the option to download to excel.
The report has columns.
A,B,C,D (for example)
but when the user exports to excel ("List > Export > Spreadsheet > Table")
they get
A, <b>C, B</b>, D
Dose anyone know why this happens? We have checked various sites and found OSS note 358644.
Are we on the right track? Or is there an easy answer to this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kyle,
I too faced the same problem lon back. But what we
found is for currency, date and amount fields it is
moving to last.
You also checl the standard program BCALV_GRID_01.
If you download you can see the same thing happens
here also.
Check in your case whether B is date, amout or numeric field.
Thanks & Regards,
Siri.
Kindly award points if the answer is useful.
