ALV grid export to Excel

I have created a dynamic table and it displays fine, problem is when I try to export, it is not exporting all the fields. The columns all appear in the field catalog but I might have 24 columns and only 11 want to export. Any one ever had this problem or can give me suggestions on what to do to fix this?

To download specific columns, you can add a new button on output screen 'OUTPUT'. Disable standard Excel download functionality and code for this new button.
If user clicks 'DOWNLOAD', download required columns in the excel file to a user specified location.
You can display a po up to enter which columns user needs to download. You fieldcatalog will have field details. Get this into an internal table. Display a popup with these field names and checkboxes next to it. Whichever columns user need, he will select the same.
Then you can code to get these details into the file.
This is just an idea. You may have to work more after reading this and mapping to your requirement.

Hi
What happens if you use the export/local file option - does that help at all or can you change the layout? Haven't got access to your release to check.

ALV Grid Exporting to Excel - Columns out of order

Hi,
In my ALV grid everything is in order as it is in the structure. When however I export to excel from ALV grid, the columns are out of order. First it lists the string columns, then number columns and lastly date columns. Is there a way to make excel keep the same order as it is in ALV grid?
Thanks,
Sergiy

I am not much of an ABAPer but I was able to set the column position during data declaration with
gs_fcat_line-col_pos = 1, for example.
That would put the column in the first position in ALV as well as the excel export.
Thanks for your inputs.

ALV GRID Export to Excel button Missing

HI All,
I am facing some problem with ALV GRID. When excuting the report with my user id I am able to see the 'Export to Local file' button in the ALV GRID where as if i am excuting with another user id which is having less authorisations than the button is greyed out. I checked by giving all authorisation than we are able to see the button.
Could anyone please tell me which authorisation object we have to assign to see the buttons.
Thanks & Regards,
Murali.

Hi,
Before clicking on the Export to Excel button, start the debugging session by placing the command /H in the command prompt.
Now, put the break point at statement AUTHORITY-CHECK. Now it will trigger all the authorization objects relevant to this.
check the sy-subrc value gets failed.

Facing problem while downloading ALV grid Output into Excel

Hi Guys,
I am facing problem while downloading ALV grid Output into Excel.
It is downloading into excel, but all character columns first and next all quantity columns it is displaying. But I need columns order as it is in the grid.
If I take all columns as characters it works fine. But it will be problem for calculating total, subtotals of quantity columns
Can someone help me regarding this
thanks for your help

Hi,
Open up Excel on your desktop. Goto Tools > Macro > Security.
Make sure that your security is set to Medium (or less). SAP uses OLE automation to run the Excel instance and in Office 2003 (for example), Microsoft has increased their default security setting to High. With the High setting, the output to Excel fails.
Was this your problem? Don't forget those points, either.
check with this wetther it is solved or not.

ALV grid - Autoexport to Excel

Hi!
I am creating a report using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY. On the selection screen I have a check box. When it is checked I want the program to press the Export to Excel button for me so the ALV-grid is exported to Excel automaticly. Is that possible?
Best regards,
Patrick de Sarrazin

Hi Patrick,
do you want to download or display the ALV in Excel?
If you whant to display it in Excel execute your Program,
change in Excel and save the Layout.
If your checkbox is set move your layout to VARIANT.
and call the FM like this.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
       EXPORTING
            I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM       = PROGNAME
          I_CALLBACK_PF_STATUS_SET = 'MAIN'

            I_CALLBACK_TOP_OF_PAGE   = 'TOP_OF_PAGE_GRID'
            <b>IS_VARIANT               = VARIANT</b>
            IS_LAYOUT                = LAYOUT
            IT_FIELDCAT              = FIELDCAT

ALV Grid output to Excel Spreadsheet

I have one that is hopefully easy for you guys and when I search on the forum nothing comes up.
Maybe I am searching wrong.
When you have a program that outputs to an ALV grid, there is a button you can output to a file.
Like an excel document. Icon is a document with an x on it.
First time you run it, it will give you the option of excel, star office, or all available formats.
There is also a button at the bottom that says Always Use Selected Format. User
wants to change this, but once the option is gone, you cannot undo it.
How do I basically deactivate the button to not always use the selected format???
Any suggestions would be terrific.
Thanks for your help.
Steve

Steve,
Try running report SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN as indicated in [Note 1080608|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1080608].
I found this Note with the following search string: "Always Use Selected Format ALV Excel". You may also want to consider doing a search on the report name "SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN" for further information.
Also check [Note 1157927|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1157927] "Export Excel: Reset export parameter from ALV list."
Best Regards,
Jamie

Using Change Layout Tab on ALV to Export to Excel

Hi Forms!
I have an ALV grid that I export to excel to allow users to manipulate the data exported further.
i do this by clicking change layout -> View -> 'Microsoft Excel' -> click on the template you want to use and click the check mark to export.
My problem is I have a header on the ALV that display's the user selection screen options... all my data shows in excel correctly except that my selection screen header which I would expect in the 'Raw Header' Tab in excel.
If I export to excel using excel export button the header shows up, however this does not help as we like using the pivot table setup from the change layout option.
thank you,

Hello Re_flex....thanks again but I am missing a step here as I was able to hide the column by right-clicking but when I click on the layout there is no layout that I can select. Do you know if these layouts are set in config or not as my layout setting displays 'X' user specific or 'A' ALL but when I select these nothing is displays and when I save I get a message back 'No selection'

ALV grid to protected Excel sheet

Hi ABAP gurus,
I Have developed an ALV report using OO concept and from the application toolbar i am able to change the GRID output to Excel output using View -> Excel inplace. Belows are my requirement now.
1. I need to change the standard template with my template for this particular ALV report or Transaction. PLease provide me with steps details to do it.
2. The Excel sheet should be in protected mode and user should be able to only take print out from the excel sheet without modifying any columns .
If there is no standard way we can add an additional appliaction menu and code it to download the ALV output into an Excel sheet and display it . However again the User should not be able to modify the sheet. please provide me with sample code to do it.
PLease suggest solution for this . Point will be awarded for all valuable answers.
Please it is very urgent for me ...
Thanks in advance.

ALV List export to Excel when program is run in background

Hello,
I am running into an issue with a custom ALV report which contains an export to Excel option on the input screen. However, when I attempt to run the report in background due to high volume of records/expected performance constraints, the job fails to produce a spool when the "export to Excel" option is selected. When I deselect that option, the background job successfully generates a spool, which I can then export to Excel (albeit the formatting will not look the same).
Is the above an accurate statement or does anyone know of a way where either;
1) The background job can create and store the Excel output into a cached directory?
2) The spool generated, when exported to Excel, can match the format of the foreground Excel output?
Thanks in advancce.

Check out the sample program of the provided link ..

ALV Grid Download to Excel - Columns in wrong order

I'm using the object cl_gui_alv_grid to output an ALV grid to the screen. I've populated the field catalogue as follows:
wa_alvfieldcat-col_pos = 1.
wa_alvfieldcat-just = 'L'.
wa_alvfieldcat-reptext = 'Customer Name'.
wa_alvfieldcat-scrtext_s = 'Customer'.
wa_alvfieldcat-scrtext_m = 'Customer'.
wa_alvfieldcat-scrtext_l = 'Customer Name'.
wa_alvfieldcat-outputlen = 35.
wa_alvfieldcat-tabname = 'GTBL_REPORT'.
wa_alvfieldcat-fieldname = 'CUST_NO'.
The screen shows the table correctly in the order I've specified using COL_POS. But when I select the download function from the ALV grid it moves all the date fields to the end instead of using the order I wanted.
Any ideas?

CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
    EXPORTING
      i_structure_name = 'ZCONTRACT_REPORT'
    CHANGING
      ct_fieldcat      = tbl_alvfieldcat.
then
LOOP AT tbl_alvfieldcat INTO wa_alvfieldcat.
    MOVE 'GTBL_REPORT' TO wa_alvfieldcat-tabname.
    CASE wa_alvfieldcat-fieldname.
      WHEN 'DATE_ORDER'.
        wa_alvfieldcat-col_pos = 4.
        wa_alvfieldcat-just = 'L'.
        wa_alvfieldcat-reptext = 'Date Order'.
        wa_alvfieldcat-scrtext_s = 'Date Order'.
        wa_alvfieldcat-scrtext_m = 'Date Order'.
        wa_alvfieldcat-scrtext_l = 'Date Order'.
        wa_alvfieldcat-outputlen = 10.
