BEx Output - Export to Excel

Hi,
When I am trying to export the BEx report (Through Web) to XL file by using the option - Right click / Enhanced Menu / Export to excel, I am getting the prompt to save / open the file.
The moment, I select either save or open, my existing window gets closed automatically. This is happening only on one particular PC.
Is there any settings to do with the PC, to avoid this type of problem. Please help.
Thanks & Regards
Ramesh Ganji

Hi,
This can happen sometimes when your excel is not installed properly.
Please check this.
Hope this helps

CSV output (export to excel) don't use right code table

CSV output (export to excel) don't use right code table. We use code table
8859-2 (reports and forms are OK). Why export to excel don't use this code table.
Thanks for answers

You could also take the example from my blob that Denes mentioned and instrument it to output in either CSV or HTML. This way, you could have a single procedure that worked for both formats.
All you would need to do is handle each field differently - pad a TD and /TD (with proper brackets, of course) if its HTML or just append a comma if it's CSV.
Thanks,

Bex Web - Export to Excel / Export to PDF

Hi gurus,
Using BI-IP.
In a web-template, I use the function "Export to Excel 2000" (or "Printable version", which generates a PDF file). The function works, except that at detailed level there is no data for input-ready columns.
Is it a known bug ?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT : it works fine for a user of mine

Reports output delayed when exported to Excel using OLE2

Hi All,
Platform - Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 10.1.2.3 on Windows 32 bit.
The report output is getting generated in a minute when exported to PDF i.e destype=cache & desformat=pdf. When we generate the output to excel is considerably delayed. It is taking time and internal server error is occuring.
1) Report developed with simple query
2) Used RPT2XLS procedure which uses OLE2 builtin to export report output into excel.
3) Called RPT2XLS.run procedure in After-Report trigger of the report.
4) We have relased all memory objects in the RPT2XLS package after exporting data and there is no EXCEL.exe running once the file is generated.
System parameters used in the URL.
. destype=file
desformat=pdf
CONTAINSOLE=yes (Required for exporting OLE2 objects into Excel in report)
desname=path & name of the file.
I have gone through the tuning documents for reports server and increased minengine, maxengine and initengine parameters of the reports engine and also changed maxconnect and IdleTimeout parameters in reports server configuration file.
What might be the reason for delaying in the output of the reports when exported to Excel. Can the guys with special knowledge on this area help us in getting out of this issue.
Thanks in advance.

hey all,
Thanks everyone for the reply.
I am using the foloowing field cat:
l_col_pos = l_col_pos + 1.
    wa_fieldcat-col_pos = l_col_pos.
    wa_fieldcat-outputlen = 32.
     wa_fieldcat-fieldname = 'SOLLWERT'.
     wa_fieldcat-inttype   = 'P'.
*    wa_fieldcat-tabname = 'i_final'.
    wa_fieldcat-seltext_l = text-t11.         "Target Value
    APPEND wa_fieldcat TO i_fieldcat.
    CLEAR wa_fieldcat.
I have use this also in the field cat but stil i get space in the excel header.
wa_fieldcat-REF_FIELDNAME = 'SOLLWERT'.
*    wa_fieldcat-REF_TABNAME = 'QAMV'.
Also the space comes with the descrip[tion in the cell of excel.
its like [space Target Value] and i dont need this Space.
I have also used wa_layout-colwidth_optimize = 'X'. but it doesnt wrk.
Please suggest

Output from Web, Printing OR Export to Excel

Hi.
A minimum requirement for GoLive of our Web project is that there should be some way of outputting the result of the query, and for the time being we can live with it being EITHER printing OR Export to Excel. (Output to Excel means output to 'proper' Excel, not a web appearance of Excel)
Output that doesn't include the selected input parameters (and the report title) is not fit for purpose, and it appears that in order to overcome this hurdle on either means of output I have to resort to Prakash's blog on using the XPATH programming language.
Or maybe note 1069368 on PDF export, but using 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT also appears to not work.
Or we use the Information field (text elements, I believe) in a Container Web Item. But adding text elements one by one is not a workable solution either.
Or The 3rd-Party route. But we really don't want to go there.
SO.... standing back a little. SURELY, I think, someone out there has been here before, its not rocket science that I'm trying to do!
So what is my question? Well, I want to know how other people have addressed this issue, please...
3rd Party solution?
Programming?
Is there another OSS note that tells you really what to do?
Or...
I have spent several days investigating this, by the way, so although I MAY have missed the obvious, I don't believe I have.
As a reward, as well as giving points, I have several documents that I have created, I am willing to share. How 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN is built, maybe, with screenshots? Or a WORKABLE version 7 workbook template for multiple queries?
Thanks,
Patrick

Have you tried the print button in the web analyzer it does export the input filter parameters as part of the exported PDF document.
You can include any additional text elements and use a custom export template if required.

Embedding Macros in the BEx web exported excel sheet

Hi all Advanced reporting gurus,
I have to embed a macro in the excel sheet, when the user clicks the button Export to excel sheet in the BEx web. This needs to be generic, it means every BEx web user should be able to avail this macro. Can any one suggest me the methods to do so ?? Its really urgent and ur quick response is awaited....
Thanking you in advance,
Bret

Hi Heike,
Thanks for your help. I searched the office XML documents and one the help file specifys this tag
IntlMacro Element (Microsoft Excel)
Specifies whether a worksheet is an international macro sheet.
Contained In
WorksheetOptions
Remarks
If <x:IntlMacro/> is specified, the worksheet is an international macro sheet.
so I guess, if Office XML standards are used in BW then this tag also shld work. I read few topics on SAP ABAP class files such as ZCL_RSR_XLS_HELP_WINDOW_PRINT and it has one the method to trigger rendering of data. Can I use this class and method to send the tag values so that macro is also embedded while sending data ????
your thought are highly awaited,
thanks
D Bret

Output from Web Analysis Related Content will not Export to Excel

I have Web Analysis reports, data in which is sourced from an EIS database. I have drill thru reports that are accessible from "Related Content". The resulting report is created fine, but cannot be exported into Excel. Specifically, I'm prompted for the location of Excel on my pc. Once I browse to it, it will open in Excel.
I have upgraded from Office 10 to Office 12, although I cannot say for certain that is when this problem started occurring.
Secondly, there are no other BI+ issues with export to Excel. For example, FR and WA export fine. The ExcelPath in the webanalysis.properties file takes care of that. I'm hoping there is something similar to update for this problem.
Thanks for reading, hopefully someone else has encountered this and successfully resolved. BI+ version is 9.3.1.

Have you tried the print button in the web analyzer it does export the input filter parameters as part of the exported PDF document.
You can include any additional text elements and use a custom export template if required.

Why authorization needed when accesing an export in excel from Bex

Hi Experts,
Before upgrade to version 7.0 when our user export a report to excel is
neccessary enter user and password, the issue is that not everybody
have a user therefore so they cannot see the excel.
This problem is due to the icons are in the server and in the excel
there are links to these icons of the server.(for example the icon of the hierarchy node)
If you configurate the excel to not load the icons the issue disappears
In Microsoft Excel
Select tools->Options->General->Web Options->General tab
and unmark the flag "Load pictures from Web pages"
But this solution is not always available for all users due to different excel plug-ins installed in their local computers.
Our questions are:
1.- How can we avoid these icons in the future?
2.- Why these problems occurs since the upgrade to SAP BW 7.0?
3.- Is there any option to insert the icons instead of having links?
Thanks in advance

Hi Reddy,
it has been some time ago you have posted this issue so I'm not sure if you still need a solution for this issue.
Anyway, I assume you have found the manual regarding the export to excel, csv and pdf for Visual Composer (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/47fe4fef-0d01-0010-6f87-ed8ecb479123)
We also had issues with the export funcationality described in the document. I don't recall the exact error message.
Just some advice:
Copy the code from the document into Notepad. Then, make sure you re-arrange the code into 1 single line (remove all enters). Then, copy the code into the formula editor of the hyperlink action. Don't forget to define a store (e.g. reptname) but that is explained in the document as well.

Sven

Export to excel formatting

I'm working on a quote report which has narrative sections as well as a table. I can get the report to look great in the application but it has formatting problems once exported to excel.
In one of my narrative reports I have a simple table with a few columns. Once exported to excel the first narrative column is the entire width of the report table below it. The large cell row is also merged cells in excel.
Is there anything that can be done to help force how the report goes into excel?
I have also tried creating the report in a narrative html table to export into excel.

Can someone explain if they face similar issues as I am when you export a report output on portal to Excel it takes huge size. I assume it because of all the color formatting etc. but is there a way to reduce this size. 3.5 Bex Analyzer same report takes only 3 MB while if I export it from portals it takes 32 MB.

Any helpful suggession will be appreciated and rewarded.

Problem in export to excel

Hello experts,
We have a WAD report having 2 (Bex 3.5) queries (say) Query A and Query B
we are using table inferface class to add the key figure of Query A with the key figure of Query B
and displaying the sum in the result area of Query B.
On executing this report we are getting the correct output.Since there are more than one data providers in the report
we are using a push button for 'Export to Excel'
When we export this report to excel using this push button the output of query B gets misaligned i.e.
col2 of query B displays result of column 4, column 4 displays result of col 7 and so on...
where are when i use the standard export to excel feature of context menu the output is correct.
Please suggest what may be reason behind this misalignment and what should we do to remove it.
Regards
Priyanka

Hello Experts,
Any updates on this issue ???

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
