ALV to Excel Export

Hi,
I want to export an ALV grid which has 88 columns to Excel Spreadsheet. The problem here I am facing is after 66 columns the heading and the relevant is going on the next row. I have tried searching SDN but found nothing in vain and finally posting this as a question.
The ALV is in OO.

Hi...
I check the problem which you are saying into my IDES.. And I created an ALV using OOPS.. which is having more than 255 columns.. and when I m exporting to Excel then.. it will export only 99 columns not 66.
Kindly check it. May be it will solve your problem.. coz.. you column is 88 only..
My code is :
PARAMETERS : vbeln TYPE vbak-vbeln.
types : begin of struct,
vbak type vbak,
vbap type vbap,
end of struct.
data : itab type TABLE OF struct,
       wa type struct.
data obj TYPE REF TO cl_Salv_table.
data REF_FUNC TYPE REF TO CL_SALV_FUNCTIONS.
select * from vbak into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab where vbeln = vbeln.
try.
call method cl_salv_table=>factory
* exporting
*    list_display   = IF_SALV_C_BOOL_SAP=>FALSE
*    r_container    =
*    container_name =
importing
    r_salv_table   = obj
changing
    t_table        = itab
catch cx_salv_msg .
endtry.
REF_FUNC = obj->GET_FUNCTIONS( ).
REF_FUNC->SET_ALL( ABAP_TRUE ).
obj->display( ).
Thanks,
Jhings.

ALV to Excel export - rowmarks not considered any more?

Dear experts,
as you know there are at least 3 different ways to export ALV-Data to MS EXCEL:
1. Switching the ALV View to Excel Inplace
2. Export to Excel
3. Export to local file -> Excel (just download, no automatic opening of the file)
The last mentioned variant was up to now the only one that just downloaded the rows that were marked in the ALV.
The first two variants always transfer all the lines regardless which rows have been marked or not.
This was not only the case for the ALs in our own programs but also in standard programs as i.e. SE16/data browser.
This seems to have changed now, and nobody (here) knows due to what kind of changes this had happened.
Now the variant 3 also doesn't care any more about the row marks.
Unfortunetaly our customers want to be able to specify the lines/rows that are supposed to be exported to Excel.
Does anybody know what to do in order to get that functionality back again?
Thanks in advance
Andreas

Why not simply add an event with a button that does a selected row download...you could get the rows selected into your rows table in your event, get the corresponding rows from your internal table that drives the ALV output, put them into a download table (after a clear, in case it aready had been used by this user/session), and proceed to download that to the desktop.

Export from ALV to Excel - problem with numeric values

hi folks,
when exporting from alv to excel and we have negative values (and using an u.s.a. setting where . and , are different to r/3) negetive values are not shown correctly in excel.
when changing in win nt the regional settings to europe one's (e.g. germany) everything works fine.
any hints welcome,
kind regards
oliver

I guess this has something to do with the excel settings. In the control panel you have regional settings.try some options there. It might work.

Add columns to EXCEL exported from ALV

Hi,
I'm using the function module REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY, to display an ALV report. This report shows a standard text when users click on one column.
I wanna know if its possible to add the standard text as a column into the EXCEL exported from this ALV? and if so, how can I do it?

Excel Export From Web Dynpro Alv

Hello,
We are facing a problem and need suggestion. In one of our WD Abap applications the output is displayed in an ALV table. We have a button (provided by standard ALV functions) to export Excel.
So far so good, but the issue is the amount columns display in the portal show the values as per user default settings. For example 123.456,78 whereas on export to excel it shows 12345.78
Is there some way to export to excel with the users regional settings (same as displayed on portal). So far we check, almost all columns follow the regional user default settings except the amount column. Is there someway we can fix this.
Users mention it worked before but not now. Its difficult to verify this statement now.
Kindly help how we could solve this issue.
Best regards,

Hi,
Just do the following in excel before downloading and check whether it works.
Tools->Options->International tab.
In that mention decimal separator as ,(comma).
Thousand separator as .(dot).
Uncheck use system separators.

ECC6: export ALV to 'Excel (in MHTML format)

We have just upgraded to ECC6. When I try to export ALV to 'Excel (in MHTML format) I get a runtime error (GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED). My list has 2 quantity fields. Tracing the error in the dump, i notice there is failure when processing quantity fields when the following SAP Standard method is called.
 >173 when if_salv_bs_c_data=>reffieldtype_quan.
 >174 *... get iso value for quantity value
 > call method cl_alv_xslt_transform=>get_isonum_from_intnum
 >176 exporting

 >178 i_unit = <l_reference>
 >179 i_decimals = ls_attribute-s_dfies-decimals
 >180 importing
 >181 e_value = l_isovalue.
I have tried a few tricks with the FIELDCATALOG function without success. Does anyone know how I can overcome this.
Regards.

Hi.
The quantity fields are coming from a table structure. I have tried making then character in the fieldcatalogue function but the runtime error was not eliminated.

Dump when exporting an ALV to excel at Portal

Hi there,
I am getting a dump ( Exception condition "CNTL_ERROR" raised) when exporting an ALV to an excel document.
I've done the following:
 1 - Create an ALV report at SAP R3 (with option export to excel);
 2 - Create a SAP transaction iview to show the ALV report at portal;
 3 - At portal, I am trying to export the ALV to excel.
Isn't this correct?
How can I get throught this problem. I really need to export this ALV to excel.
Thanks and best regards,
Vasco Brandã

Hi,
if it should not dump then it_output_alv-gehalt_eff this should be of type C. is it type char.
and can you show the fieldcat of the field gehalt_eff, that might causing the problem. though you changed the type.

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
Edited by: Jeff_liu_2010 on Mar 10, 2011 7:21 AM

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.

Parveen

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.

REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY (column headings from ALV to EXCEL) Max please help

Hi Max,
If you remember in one of my last post I asked for changing the column headings in ALV display for example from 'Material' to 'Material used'.
I am using
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
 EXPORTING
 I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = repid
 IT_FIELDCAT = field_body
 I_SAVE = g_save
 IS_VARIANT = g_variant
 IT_EVENTS = events
 TABLES
 T_OUTTAB = itab.
And you suggested me the following way....
loop at field_body into field_wa.
case field_wa-fieldname.
when 'Material'.
 field_wa-seltext_l = 'Material used'.
 field_wa-seltext_m = 'Material used'.
 field_wa-seltext_s = 'Material used'.
endcase.
modify field_body from field_wa.
endloop.
It is working well. In ALV display the column heading is changed to what I wanted. But the question is when I export the displayed ALV to Excel using ALV functionality, Export->Spreadsheet... I see that I dont get the Column Heading into Excel as it was in the ALV display.
I get in the Excel as 'Material u' or 'Mat. Used'. But when I add this line in the code.....
when 'Material'.
 field_wa-seltext_l = 'Material used'.
 field_wa-seltext_m = 'Material used'.
 field_wa-seltext_s = 'Material used'.
 field_wa-outputlen = 20.
Then I see that I get the complete heading in the Excel. But this way the columns with outputlen 20 are taking much space in ALV display.
Is there any fix for this. May be not mentioning the outputlen but still get the column headings into Excel as it was in ALV display.
Anyone with ideas please respond. Waiting for replies. Thanks

Hi
The labels have a fixed size:
seltext_l is long text: 20 char
seltext_m is medium text: 15 char
seltext_s is short text: 10 char
The text 'Material used' is long 13 char so you should write:
field_wa-seltext_l = 'Material used'.
field_wa-seltext_m = 'Material used'.
field_wa-seltext_s = 'Mat. used'.
You can try to set the field colwidth_optimize of parameter IT_LAYOUT.
This field should optimize the width of the colunm
So
data layout type SLIS_LAYOUT_ALV.
layout-colwidth_optimize = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
EXPORTING
I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = repid
IT_LAYOUT = layout
IT_FIELDCAT = field_body
I_SAVE = g_save
IS_VARIANT = g_variant
IT_EVENTS = events
TABLES
T_OUTTAB = itab.
and you can decide which label has to be used:
field_wa-seltext_l = 'Material used'.
field_wa-seltext_m = 'Material used'.
field_wa-seltext_s = 'Mat. used'.
If you want to set the short text
field_wa-ddictxt = 'S'.
...medium
field_wa-ddictxt = 'M'.
...long
field_wa-ddictxt = 'L'.
