APPEND wa_fieldcat to it_fieldcat.

Inner table output to Excel with colored cells?

Hi!
I would like to output my inner table into Excel ducoment.
And it is important to have Excel document with colored cells.
I have searched for this solution, but could not find...
Any help will be awarded!
Kind regards, M.

Hi,
You can use function module "XXL_SIMPLE_API"
or alternatively use "XXL_FULL_API".
On the import, parameter name "N_KEY_COLS" is used to colour fields. The headings are automatically coloured. 1 is the default value.

Problem with coloring cells in dynamic fieldcatalog

Hi All,
I am trying to color cells based on the values in the cells. Here we are using dynamic fieldcatalog and internal table to build the ALV grid.I am getting problem in adding a field to the fieldcatlog which is of type lvc_t_scol. This Part of the code is used to build fieldcatlog dynamically.
DEFINE add_cat.
 add 1 to lv_count1.
 lwa_fldcat-col_pos = lv_count1.
 lwa_fldcat-fieldname = &1 .
 lwa_fldcat-reptext = &2.
 lwa_fldcat-inttype = &3.
 lwa_fldcat-intlen = &4.
 append lwa_fldcat to lt_fldcat .
END-OF-DEFINITION.
*Add Columns to the fieldcatalog
add_cat c_proj 'Project' 'C' '30'.
add_cat c_cust 'Customer' 'C' '30'.
lwa_fldcat-col_pos = 12.
 lwa_fldcat-fieldname = 'cellcolor' .
 lwa_fldcat-reptext = 'cell color'.
 lwa_fldcat-inttype = 'lvc_t_scol'.
 append lwa_fldcat to lt_fldcat .
Here i want to assign internal table(lvc_t_scol) to the fieldcatalog as a field.But lwa_fldcat-inttype is of size 1 which will take one char. Is there any way that we can assign field of type internal table to the field catalog. Becoz of this i am unable to color cells in my ALV grid.
Thanks

Timeout when using ALV build-in functionality: exporting to Excel

Hello,
I have the following problem within one of my web dynpro abap applications:
I need to be able to display data in a table that preferably should be via alv component.
Then I shall also be able to download the displayed data via Excel.
So I have embedded the ALV component I added to the component within a view and activated the export to excel button.
Downloading small amount of data does no lead to any problem, but when trying to process a larger amount of data (in this case 22500 entries), I get a timeout.
Does anybody have any idea if it is possible to increase performance here without reducing the amount of data to be downloaded?
thanks a lot ion advance!

Export ALV with the current layout to excel via selection screen

Hello,
I want to export my ALV table with my default layout, but from the selection screen. In other words i want the function "List ->export -> spreadsheet" to be done via the selection screen when the user push the "run" button.
Is that possible ?
Thx in advance.

Hi,
Provide a Check box or radio button in the Selection Screen.
Then if it is marked then download the content of the internla table into an Excel using the below code.
types : begin of header,
 head(30) type C,
 end of header.
data : t_header type table of header,
 wa_header type header.
wa_header = 'Purchase order'.
append wa_header to t_header.
wa_header = 'Company Code'.
append wa_header to t_header.
(Like this u can add the header names according to the download layout ).

Issue with SSRS Report Exporting to Excel and word

Hi,
When report is exporting in word and Excel getting format issue, but same report export with pdf there is no issue.
Regards,
Afroz

You need to be always careful when export format is Word and specially Excel. Sometimes report result looks good in Report Viewer and PDF too, but it may not in MS Word and MS Excel.
You need to understand Word and Excel limitations and align all the data regions (Tablix, Rectangles, Texboxes) in correct way.
Also, you may post the actual formatting issue that you get. (With screenshot if possible)
Please read Limitation section in below:

Problem with comments when exporting to Excel

Hi:
When opening an exported Numbers file in excel it is showing all the comments opened in fornt of the chart. They can't be closed, have to be deleted one by one.
Please take a look at this image: http://gallery.me.com/robbyralston#100124&view=grid&bgcolor=black&sel=0
Any one knows how to avoid this issue?
Thanks for any help.

Hello Barry.
You just did what I wrote yesterdays:
So, I don't know what we may do for you except tell you to *_hide comments before exporting._*
In such case, as you saw, the imported document display the flags showing which cells are commented but the comments aren't displayed.
Numbers offer a menu item to hide every comments in a single call.
Office doesn't.

Error with Crystal 2008 Exporting MS Excel using ReportExportFormat.MSExcel

Hi


I am using the sample code that comes with the Eclipse plug-in. I have modified it slightly to also write to different formats and then display in the viewer. I am able to write to all formats except to the MSExcel (MSExcel data only works without issue)



I am using the following code (this is just proof of concept code)
 //jtds connection and database logon setup already
 //report parameters etc setup already
 try
 {
 String file_name = reportClientDocument.displayName() + System.currentTimeMillis();
 file_name = file_name + ".xls";
 String location = "c:
temp
";
 FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(location + file_name);
 
 ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream;

 byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream) reportClientDocument
 .getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.MSExcel);

 byte[] byteArray = new byte[1024];
 int bytesRead;
 while((bytesRead = byteArrayInputStream.read(byteArray)) != -1)

I know this has been marked as answered, but I would just like to mention when designing reports for Excel output, the key thing
to remember is the design and layout of your report. You have to work on a strict grid layout concept, and make sure all items are
lined up 100% else columns or rows are inserted in strange places, making the output look very ugly. But if you can line everything
up nicely then I believe any report that can be displayed in Excel.
Keeping in mind that if the report is to be output as Excel the whole design and logic must be geared for this, so page headers
and footers are no longer relevant, in fact the whole "page" concept must be ignored when working with Excel as there are
no pages in a spreadsheet application like Excel.
That all being said, I dont know what your reports are about and am not saying they are not too complex for Excel,
just wanted to make a note so that people dont think Excel output using CR4E is a bad option.

Importing tables with linked cell data from excel to indesign

Hey,
I'm designing a catalog and have been linking the tables in InDesign from a spreadsheet in excel. In my spreadsheet, I am linking cells from a master sheet to another sheet so that I when I update the information on one sheet, it will update throughout the spreadsheet.
Now that I have the linked cells set up in my spreadsheet, I've inputed the tables into InDesign but: the table cells in InDesign containing linked cells from within the spreadsheet do not appear.
I've gone through all the import table options in InDesign and cannot find a way to make it work.
Does anyone have an answer or input?
Thanks,
KT

When we are updating the excel sheet it automatically updates the link in InDesign and it's continually changing. Does CSV break the links in excel or does it keep them and allows InDesign to read the linked cells as well?
Thanks for your response!

Print ALV with merged cells

Hi all,
I have a requirement to print an ALV grid display exactly in the same format as we see in output. That is, if the cells are merged in ALV then in Print also they should come as merged.
But when I am printing the ALV output it does not give merged cells. I am using OO ALV.
Is my requirement feasible. If yes, Please help me to proceed?
Thanks,
Daya

Hi Daya,
In the ALV grid control print or print preview, cells that have identical content are not merged. This is necessary in order to be able to distinguish between blank cells and cells that only become blank after merging. The standard behaviour for the different ALV lists is described in Note 447055.

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,
Here is my code for producing the header...
ATA: lo_header TYPE REF TO cl_salv_form_layout_grid,
        lo_h_label TYPE REF TO cl_salv_form_label,
        lo_h_flow TYPE REF TO cl_salv_form_layout_flow,
        lv_i TYPE i,
        lv_mtart LIKE LINE OF s_mtart,
        lv_auart LIKE LINE OF s_auart,
        lv_bkbez LIKE LINE OF s_bkbez,
        lv_lines TYPE i.
*   header object
CREATE OBJECT lo_header.
lo_header->set_column_count( 10 ).
lo_h_label = lo_header->create_label( row = 1 column = 1 ).
lo_h_label->set_text( 'Selection Screen Values' ).
*   information in tabular format
CONCATENATE 'Dates: ' s_date-low ' ' ' to ' s_date-high ' ' INTO l_text RESPECTING BLANKS.
lo_h_flow = lo_header->create_flow( row = 2 column = 1 ).
lo_h_flow->create_text( text = l_text ).
CONCATENATE 'Plant: ' p_werks ' ' INTO l_text RESPECTING BLANKS.
lo_h_flow = lo_header->create_flow( row = 3 column = 1 ).
lo_h_flow->create_text( text = l_text ).
CONCATENATE 'Costing Variant: ' p_klvar INTO l_text RESPECTING BLANKS.
lo_h_flow = lo_header->create_flow( row = 4 column = 1 ).
lo_h_flow->create_text( text = l_text ).
CONCATENATE 'Costing Version: ' p_tvers INTO l_text RESPECTING BLANKS.
lo_h_flow = lo_header->create_flow( row = 5 column = 1 ).
lo_h_flow->create_text( text = l_text ).
*there can be 1 or many Material Types need to check
DESCRIBE TABLE s_mtart LINES lv_i.
IF lv_i > 1.
    lv_lines = 1.
    CONCATENATE 'Material Type(s): ' s_mtart-low INTO l_text RESPECTING BLANKS.
    lo_h_flow = lo_header->create_flow( row = 6 column = lv_lines ).
    lo_h_flow->create_text( text = l_text ).
    LOOP AT s_mtart INTO lv_mtart .
      IF lv_lines > 1.
        lo_h_flow = lo_header->create_flow( row = 6 column = lv_lines ).
        lo_h_flow->create_text( text = lv_mtart-low ).
      ENDIF.
      lv_lines = lv_lines + 1.
    ENDLOOP.
ELSE.
    CONCATENATE 'Material Type(s): ' s_mtart-low INTO l_text RESPECTING BLANKS.
    lo_h_flow = lo_header->create_flow( row = 6 column = 1 ).
    lo_h_flow->create_text( text = l_text ).
ENDIF.
*   set the top of list using the header for Online.
cr_content = lo_header.

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'

Longer running export to Excel after BW7.3 upgrade & HANA migration

Experts -- I'm curious if anyone has encountered issues with longer running exports to excel from Web Analyzer after they upgraded to BW 7.3 and/or migrated to BW HANA?
We have encountered a very elusive issue with our users running into this issue where the export either hangs or returns a series of error messages. OSS has not been of help as the issue is unable to be consistently reproduced.
If you have any thoughts or ideas please feel free to contribute.
Thanks
Justin

Hey Sebastien - Thank you for the response. I work with Justin and can provide the additional information here:
By export what we mean is that users running BEx reports from our web portal are clicking on the 'Export to Excel' button and it is taking an extremely long time. This is happening even when the report result set is relatively small. We never had any issue prior to the upgrade.
There have been a few error messages reported, but this "Open Dialog" error is the most frequent.
We are very familiar with the 500,000 cell limit and these error are taking place on report output well below that limitation.
These reports do not use hierarchies.
Prior to 7.3 we were using 7.0 EP1 SP7
We appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thank you
