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 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.

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 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.
Regards,
Santhosh.

Excel columns out of order

Hello,
I have an alv grid that shows some information and when i have to export that information to an excel file, in that file the columns doesn't appear in the same order than in the alv.
Do you know what does it happen?
Thanks

Hello again,
i have checked my fieldcatalog and my internal table and both have the same order, with the description field in the last position.
Curiously, when i export the alv to an excel file, the description column doesn't appear in the last position, the amount field (decimal) appears in that position.
could anyone help me?

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.

ALV GRID - export only columns not faded out

Hello,
I hope that this is possible but till now I have no idea.
The request is to provide a download/export function (moving the export file directly to a specific location the user is not allowed to modify-> so standard function not allowed based on specification) which will only export the columns from the ALV GRID which are not faded out.
With the standard files download from the menu bar this is possible.
But how to do this starting with a self defined button?
best regards
Dirk

hi,
if u need a custmozied button with all standard ALV fucntions,
1. goto SE80, under thre function group SALV, there will be GUI_STATUS named as STANDARD.
2. copy that into ur program, and add ur own button in that , then write the code for that by chekcing SY-UCOMM.

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 with 2 changable columns - need to update a non changable column

I have an ALV Grid that has 2 columns that are editable (this works fine). These two add to the total column which is not editable. I need the total column to get updated when these two are changed. (I have a pushbutton for the user to hit after the changes are made so it can go through the code).
I have check in debug mode and my internal table is getting changed. Even until the container is check to see if it is build, the value is correct, however, once it goes into CALL METHOD GR_GRID->REFRESH_TABLE_DISPLAY, the old total comes up. The new data in the two changable fields are there and correct.   I have tried deleting the container but that had not affect on the issue.
I have tried freeing my table and repopulating it, calling the screen again (after setting screen to zero). It seems the container has some sort of memory or buffer that it is getting the data from.
Any ideas how to make it think it is a new 1st time display?
Thank you in advance.

Good day Michelle,
I had the same senario, but i did not use REFRESH_TABLE_DISPLAY instead
do one thing that is add a save button to the alv grid and then after you change the
data copy the changed data to an internal table.
a sample code.
METHOD handle_toolbar.
    DATA:
      lw_toolbar TYPE stb_button.
    CLEAR lw_toolbar.
    lw_toolbar-function = 'SAVE'.
    lw_toolbar-icon = 'ICON_DETAIL'.
    lw_toolbar-butn_type = '0'.
    lw_toolbar-text = 'SAVE'.
      APPEND lw_toolbar TO e_object->mt_toolbar.
ENDMETHOD.
METHOD handle_user_command.
    CASE e_ucomm.
      WHEN 'DETAIL'.
          IF t_emp1 IS NOT INITIAL.
            UPDATE zemp FROM TABLE t_emp1.
            MESSAGE 'Records changed' TYPE 'S'.
          ELSE.
            MESSAGE 'No records are changed' TYPE 'S'.
          ENDIF.
          REFRESH t_emp1.
        ENDIF.
    ENDCASE.
ENDMETHOD.                    "handle_user_command
T_EMP1 IS WHERE YOU STORE THE UPDATED RECORDS.

How do I get PDF forms to export to excel in the desired order?

How do I get PDF forms to export to excel in the desired order?
Here is what I have done:
As taken from another post:
Choose Forms > Manage Form Data > Merge Data Files Into Spreadsheet.
In the Export Data From Multiple Forms dialog box, click Add Files.
In the Select file Containing Form Data dialog box, select a file format option in File Of Type option (Acrobat Form Data Files or All Files). Then locate the form files that you want to merge into the spreadsheet, select them, and click Select.
Repeat the previous step to add form data files that are in other locations, as needed.
Click Export. Then select a folder and filename for the spreadsheet, and click Save.
In the Export Progress dialog box, click either View File Now to open the spreadsheet file or Close Dialog to return to Acrobat."
     The problem now is that Adobe populates Excel in ABC order of the form, based off of the name of each box in the form. For example, if my form has three text boxes, named A, B, and C, then Adobe will export to Excel as such:
Row 1 =         A                              B                              C
Row 2 =         data entered             data entered              data entered
where 'data entered' is whatever the user typed into the form boxes. But what if I want a different order for exporting, and I don't want to rename my text boxes? What if I want:
Row 1 =         C                              B                              A
Row 2 =         data entered             data entered              data entered   ?
Is there a way to do this in acrobat x or xi?
Thanks

I don't have time to test right now, but there was a change with Acrobat 10 where it exports according to the tab order, which you may have to set manually, so give that a shot. Otherwise, you'll have to process the file after it's exported if you need the fields in a particular order. This wouldn't be too difficult to do with something like a VBS or JS script in Windows.
