I do not have the answer but I have experienced the same issue. I believe the issue arrises not as a limit of the number of columns, but based upon the length of the entire data structure, as I recall. As a work around, we use the MS Excel icon versus the Save as Local file icon.

Hi,
You can also try in this way
in the output screen
click List (in app tool bar) -> Export -> Spreadsheet
and save at your desired location.
(It will be save in .mhtml format , just rightclick on it and you can open it with excel )
Then you will be able to view in your required format.

ALV to Excel download problem

Hi Experts,
I display around 15 fields(columns) in ALV output. When I download it to Excel, it downloads exactly.
Then dynamically, when I increase the number of fields to be displayed in ALV it is displaying correctly. But when I download
to excel, half of the fields are coming in one line of excel sheet and remaining fields are coming in the second line of excel.
Why am I not getting all the fields in one line itself in the excel sheet?
Is it a problem in standard ALV?
I am using cl_gui_alv_grid class to display ALV output.
Thanks and regards,
Venkat.

Hi!
Which function module you are using for downloading?

Material Number Truncated in ALV to Excel Download

Hi Guru,
I have a ALV program report. It has about 18 columns, but for some strange reason, when we download this report to an ALV the 3rd column which host the material number as the last digit missing/truncated.
For example if we have a material number in SAP ALV Grid as 1234567, when we download this the excel, what we get in excel is 123456. with the last number missing.
What is the best solution to fix this issue.
Thanks for you help in advance.

Hi Keshav,
Previously I faced the same situation, like in ALV grid I was displaying the material nos with output length as 15. Since in the Grid display you can readjust the columns, So after displaying we just expanded in the grid and try to download the same in excel. But at that time the ALV was downloading with material number field length as 15 ( What I set in my field catalog). Even when I saw the print priview I saw only the length it is showing as 15. After changing the output length as 18 in field cat I got the correct download.
(Here I am assuming that the question is raised for ALV grid display since no where it is mentioned the type of ALV).
Sorry it was mentioned in the question itself
Regards
Shiba

Download data from ALV to excel issue

Hi All,
Could you please tell me if there has any restriction on ALV grid data download to excel? I've a report contains 68 columns and about 500 rows, I want to download the data using the standard menu list->export->save to local file. but after I download them, I found the first 65 columns display in one line and the rest columns display in next line, just like ALV do not allow too many characters in one row and have to switch to new line. I can hide some columns but it's very strange that even after i hide 3 columns to fit the 500 rows download, then if the rows increase, the same problem occurs.
I searched the forum and in the thread Re: Export ALV in EXCEL Issue Mr. Suvajit provided a solution by using menu List->export->spreadsheet, it looks very good. But I still want to know how this happen and is there a standard way to download data with more than 65 columns to local file with extension .xls so that user can open it directly?
PS: I'm using FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY and the SAP version is SAP ECC6 with kernal package SAPKB70103.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Please check if following analysis is helpful to you.
Analysis/Solution:
When we export ALV data to excel worksheet, as sap notes say the maximum lenght allowed is 1023 charaters and the max no of columns supported is 90.
(I never faced any issue related to no of columns as it worked fine for columns >90 too)
Issue occured when row size of exported data gets more than 1023 character.
Therefore the row data must not exceed 1023 character, otherwise column splits and moves to next row.
One additional aspect generally missed is that:
When data in any particular column changes it's length, alv header also changes its lengh (short text, medium text, long text; depending on the length of of the longest cell in the column)
therefore even if you have total length of row less than 1023 character, there might be cases when your ALV header size exceeds this length.
Reducing the header size (by forcing to use short text or specifying own header names) should resolve the issue.

ravi,
its not about how you have used your field catalog or how you called ALV FM. its excel download functionality,
what you need to do is:
set pf-status '<<some value>>' -> you can find where to pass in ALV FM call.
then add a application toolbar button though this pf status.
then at use_command event, check sy-ucomm and if its the same as your new icons fcode then use the method to download it in excel.

ALV Excel Download problem ( Special Character)

Hi,
I am unable to download completely in XLS format from ALV grid. When i tried in couple of ways there is a special character( " ) in one of the filed. Due to the same Excel download has some problem. I tested by removing those and it worked fine,
Please suggest me to solve the issue.
Thanks,
Bhanu Gattu,

Data strings with special characters can not be downloaded into XLS format from ALV grid. In my case, I replaced the special character " with space and I could download the data into excel.

Display of leading zeroes when downloaded from ALV to excel

Hi All,
I have a problem in ALV grid display.
There is a specific field which has value starting from '001' to '999'. This is a char(3) type of variable.
The problem is that the display shows the value as '001' which is correct. but when the same file is dwnloaded to excel using standard SAP functionality, the value of the field gets changed to '1' instead of '001'.
Is there any option by which this can be controlled. Please let me know, its urgent!!
thanks

hi Ankur,
the Excel download is done by Z program? IF yes you have to do:
SET PROPERTY OF go_cell 'NumberFormat' = '@'.
this will set the Excel cell to Text type and leading zeros won't be lost.
