Changing layout of ALV to excel and displaying the data there

Dear All,
My requirement is that I have to develop an ALV report, and also plot the graphs for the same.
I need different types of graphs, so I have searched on SDN, and I found out a blg:-
"Report with a Graph.. An Approach!"
Here is what the person has done:-
I developed a simple ABAP report using ALV and just dumped all my data on it.
After this I downloaded the Standard Excel template available in the ALV.
Defined my own worksheets in this template, wrote some macros to pick up the data from the RawHeader sheet, which is available by default and will contain the ALV data.
I inserted 1 chart in this Excel template. In this chart I used the same chart type as was being used by the user for his graph. Just right clicked on the Graph area and made the changes in the source data and made it point to the sheet containing the final data.
Thats it my job is almost done.
After this uploaded this template back into the report output through
the layout settings->Change Layout Tab.
Save it as a variant and made it a default. (Do not default it if you have more than 1 user and more than 1 template. Select the appropriate variant for the appropriate user and then display)
Well, this also was not that easy as I had thought. I landed up into 1 trouble.
In my report the number of columns displayed was not constant and kept changing based on the input. This fact was taken care by designing a variable field catalogue. But now I had gone past the simple ALV display and was giving the output in an Excel sheet using a pre-defined template. Well, I immediately found a solution to this with the set_frontend_fieldcatalogue method of CL_GUI_ALV_GRID class and fixed the field catalogue every time after calling the set_table_for_first_display method. This solved most of my problems, which were not many though.
Now here are my issues:-
I have developed the ALV report, and I have also changed the layout to excel.
But, I am unable to get the ALV Report data in the RawHeader Sheet, which is available by default.
Could anyone please guide me through this method??
It is urgent.
Points are assured for helpful answers.
Thanks and regards,

Hi Satya Priya,
Do I have to create my own template, or the Standard ones available will do?
HEre is what I do:-
Once I get my ALV output, I goto Change LAyout->View tab.->Prefered view->Microsoft Excel.
Here I get a list of available excel templates There are 2:-
sap_mm.xls, and sap_om.xls
I select one of these, and the excel spreadsheet is displayed on the ALV screen.
But the re is another button, "Upload Document to BDS".
Do I have to upload one of the above templated to BDS?
And please tell me in detail, what is BDS???
Thanks for your help, and waiting for reply,

Problem in changing layout of ALV to excel

Hello everyone,
I have developed an ALV program, wherein I need to show the graphs for the same.
For this, I need my data in excel format, so that I can write some macros ,and do the further processing on it(I am using an appraoch I found on SDN, "Report with graph").
I got to know, that I need <b>SAP R/3: Add On:Interactive Excel</b>.
I asked the BASIS guys to install it, but even after installing it, I am unable to view the data in Excel layout, when I do Change LAyout->View->Microsoft Excel.
Could anyone let me know if there is any other setting which is required to view the data in excel?On the excel side, we can change the security level(Tools->Macro->Security) to either low, medium or high.
Is there any such provision in SAP?
Kindly suggest your answers, as it is important for me to get the data in excel.
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks and regards,
Prerna

Hi,
I have already tried what you have just mentioned.
I searched the entire SDN, for this, and this was one of the replies
But still we don't get the data(Even you didn't get it, right?).
when we change the layout to excel(Excel Inplace), there are 2 sheets by default:-
Rawheader and Rawdata.The data comes in RAwheader sheet.
But there is some setting on the BASIS side, which need to be done, in order for it to work.
I have asked my BASIS colleagues and some of my senior consultants to look into the same.
They will let me know.
I would also suggest you try your program on another PC.
I will let you know as soon as I get any replies from my colleagues.
Thanks and regards,

Save Changed layout of ALV

Hello All,
I am using the class 'cl_salv_table' to create an ALV. In the application toolbar I have the option to change the layout displayed in tha ALV but I am not able to save my changed layout. Please suggest how do I enable the save layout button in the toolbar.
Thanks,
Anju

This demo example creates a PF status for displaying the buttons, Can I not get the buttons using the standard functions available with the ALV. I am getting the change layout on its own I am not reqd to create a PF status for it. Can I not enable the button save layout also. Also if I create the PF status I would have to add all the buttons reqd in the ALV in the PF status manually
thanks,

Create Change Layout in ALV list report

Hi,
i have create my own change layout button at my alv list report, my problem is i don't know what coding can be used to activate the change layout function in my own button. Who have sample programming for this function please share it....
tq.

Hi,
By default if you're using the ALV List Display function module, there's no need for you to code the 'Change Layout' function, the standard function will be there, unless there's something you want and the standard 'Change Layout' function could not provide.
Go to Abap Editor and look for program with 'BALV*'. You'll get a whole list of DEMO program on ALV.

From where can we give the details of change layout in alv

Hi,
I am executing an ALV Grid report, and output is coming fine , if i see the print preview for some particular fields some digits or missing
so i used the button change layout there i can see that length is not sufficient i have changed that and its working fine but each and every
time i need to change the layout and then take the print............if i wanted to save my changes in chnage layout or else pls tell me from where we are getting all those details in change layout so that i can go there and change.........
thanks

Hi,
You can save the changes done in the layout.
First you change the layout , then save it by giving a name. Use / as first character if you want to make the changes global, otherwise for a user specific layout save it with A-Z as first character. Make it default so you need not have to change/choose the layout each time you print.

Download dynamic fields (based on changed layout) from ALV

Hello All,
Currently i am displaying 28 firelds in my ALV output.
I have created my own button for downloading the contents displayed using GUI_DOWNLOAD.
Say if user changes the layout and say now we have 35 fields in the layout.
Now when we click the DOWNLOAD button, i want to download these 35 fields instead of 28 fields.
Can anyone please help me on this...
Thanks in advance....
Regards,
Tarun

Hi Tarun,
As the frontend layout is directly connected to this output table, standard excel download would work here (because it already knows which column to display and download).
But as you want custom solution I think the following might work:
- get fieldcatalog using GET_FRONTEND_FIELDCATALOG
- loop through it and check if field is in displayed mode ( NO_OUT ne 'X' ).
- create (or just copy above entries) to new fieldcatalog table
- use class CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE to generate dynamic table with structure of displayed fields only (based on that new fieldcatalog)
- loop through output table and copy corresponding fields to your dynamic table appending to it
- download dynamic table using GUI_DOWNLOAD (parameter DATA_TAB here is generic so you can pass any table structure).

Hi,
are you refreshing ALV when pressing enter? maybe you should not refresh when pressing enter, or provide the right variant when refreshing.

Hide Change Layout Button in ALV report o/p for MB52 Tcode

Hi,
Is it possible to Hide Change Layout Button in ALV output for Report MB52 using authoriztaion.
We have created a layout in which we are hiding some coloumns which the user should not see.
But if the change layout button is active then the user can add those coloumns to output.
Is this possible through authorizations. I want to avoid doing any chnages to the std sap program.
Thanks & Regards,
Fawaz

Check the object S_ALV_LAYO

The Visible attribute on alv grid column is not changed after Change Layout

Setup:
I have a program that displays output in an ALV grid (using cl_salv_table).
The ALV grid is displayed within a custom control on a subscreen.
I have 4 subscreens being used on a tabstrip control. So I have 4 ALV grids total (one on each subscreen).
On each ALV grid, I have set the set_layout_change function to true so that the user can hide and unhide columns etc. on each grid via the button on the alv grid toolbar.
I also allow the user to dowload the contents of all 4 grids to excel. To do this I have a custom button that when clicked goes to each ALV grid - gets the column metadata (via cl_salv_columns_table-get() ) and checks the visibility to determine if the column should be downloaded or not (via cl_salv_column-is_visible() ) to excel.
The Problem:
As I said I have 4 grids being displayed via a tab control. Let's say the user is on tab 1 and unhides some columns on the alv grid 1 via the Change Layout... button. And then the user navigates to tab 2. If they click the download button at that point - when the download code is run and it checks the visibility of the columns on alv grid 1 - the changes that were made via the Change Layout... button have not synchronized yet. When I call is_visible() for a column that was unhid it still comes back as false.
The only way I have found to remedy this is to make the user click on a button on the alv grid's toolbar before navigating to a different tab to force the synchronization between the changes made and the backend column metadata. However, this is not the best option and requires training for the user that they have to do this for the download to work correctly.
The Question:
1) why is the Change Layout... button not automatically synchronizing the changes it made to the back end? Is there a way to make it do this?
2) OR, is there a way that I can force the synchronization within the code and not force the user to click a button on the alv grid? If there is a way to force the synchronization - where do I put that code? As far as I can tell, when I switch between tabs - I am unable to catch that action in my PAI events.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I was able to resolve this issue with a satisfactory solution.
In my program I had a local class definition to handle the grids' events. When the synchronization wasn't working I only had two events defined: for link_click and added_functions.
I created another definition for event after_salv_function:
on_after_salv_function for event after_salv_function of cl_salv_events importing e_salv_function
There is no code in the method implementation - but adding this event handler now causes a synchronization to occur after the Change Layout is done.

How to add Change Layout Button to ALV Toolbar?

Hi All,
I am using a SAP GUI STATUS 'STANDARD' that has almost all the funcationality needed except for the change layout button.
I have tried changing the GUI STATUS to 'STANDARD_FULLSCREEN' which has the button I am looking for but it does not show up.
What am I missing to have the 'Change Layout' Button show on the toolbar?
thank you

I am using Classes.
I did not specify any type of table of 'exclude' buttons.
here is my code that display the ALV
DATA gr_alv TYPE REF TO cl_salv_table.
DATA gr_functions TYPE REF TO cl_salv_functions_list.
DATA gr_selections TYPE REF TO cl_salv_selections.
DATA gr_events TYPE REF TO cl_salv_events_table.

DATA gr_layout TYPE REF TO cl_salv_layout.
TRY.
      cl_salv_table=>factory(
       IMPORTING r_salv_table = gr_alv
       CHANGING t_table      = gt_rpt_details ).
      PERFORM f_display_settings.
      gr_alv->set_screen_status(

Change Layout in Selection Screen for OO ALV-Grid

Hello everyone,
I got a problem regarding layouts for objectoriented ALV Grid. I want to make it possible that user can take the layout for ALV he wants to on the selection screen. So far thats no problem and it works. But there are some little problems which I do not know how to fix them. But first the facts:
(1) I got my parameter for layout
PARAMETER: p_vari TYPE disvariant-variant.
(2) I fill my global layout structure in initialization
INITIALIZATION.
* Variante vorbelegen
   gs_variant-username = sy-uname.
   gs_variant-report   = sy-repid.
* Layout holen
   CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET'
     EXPORTING
       i_save        = 'A'
     CHANGING
       cs_variant    = gs_variant
     EXCEPTIONS
       wrong_input   = 1
       not_found     = 2
       program_error = 3
       OTHERS        = 4.
   IF sy-subrc = 0.
     p_vari = gs_variant-variant.
   ENDIF.
(3) I got my handling for F4-value help on variant parameter
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_vari.
   CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_VARIANT_F4'
     EXPORTING
       is_variant    = gs_variant
       i_save        = 'A'
     IMPORTING
       es_variant    = gs_variant
     EXCEPTIONS
       not_found     = 1
       program_error = 2
       OTHERS        = 3.
   IF sy-subrc <> 0.
     MESSAGE text-m01 TYPE 'S'.
   ELSE.
     p_vari = gs_variant-variant.
   ENDIF.
(4) I give back my parameters content into the variant structure at start of selection
START-OF-SELECTION.
   gs_variant-username = sy-uname.
   gs_variant-report   = sy-repid.
   gs_variant-variant = p_vari.
This works all fine but I got some problems when using default variants/layouts. For example I got a default variant only for me. When starting the selection screen it works fine that the default layout was written. It is displayed automatically in the variant parameter. But I want that if i I empty the content (blank it out) from my variant parameter, that report should start with "normal" layout how it was written in the report and NOT with default layout.
When I clear the gs_variant it works like I want it, but then the alv layout button looks like (without functions for layout), because I do not have the reference to my report.
So what to do? :-)
Regards
Michael

Wow that was fast, works great, thanks :-)
I did not use this parameter in set table method but now I fill it dynamically.
Ok next problem, one step harder ;-)
Now I have one selection screen for one ALV-Grid, but four radio buttons which control with which data the ALV gets filled (four different fieldcats, data tables and so on). Each Grid got an own HANDLE so that the layouts can be separated in four categories.
Now I want that by changing the radio button the individual standard layout for the chosen alv grid is getting filled.
This works fine when using it in selection screen output.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
   CLEAR gs_variant.
* Layout-Handles individuell für Klausel-Radiobuttons setzen
   IF     p_py IS NOT INITIAL.
     gs_variant-username = sy-uname.
     gs_variant-report   = sy-repid.
     gs_variant-handle   = 'KLPY'.
   ELSEIF p_rh IS NOT INITIAL.
     gs_variant-username = sy-uname.
     gs_variant-report   = sy-repid.
     gs_variant-handle   = 'KLRH'.
   ELSEIF p_aj IS NOT INITIAL.
     gs_variant-username = sy-uname.
     gs_variant-report   = sy-repid.
     gs_variant-handle   = 'KLAJ'.
   ELSEIF p_sr IS NOT INITIAL.
     gs_variant-username = sy-uname.
     gs_variant-report   = sy-repid.
     gs_variant-handle   = 'KLSR'.
   ENDIF.
* Layout holen
   CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET'
     EXPORTING
       i_save        = 'A'
     CHANGING
       cs_variant    = gs_variant
     EXCEPTIONS
       wrong_input   = 1
       not_found     = 2
       program_error = 3
       OTHERS        = 4.
   IF sy-subrc = 0.
     p_vari = gs_variant-variant.
   ELSE.
     CLEAR p_vari.
   ENDIF.
But unfortunately selection screen output is getting passed by EACH changing in the selection screen. This means when I try to clear the default layout in my parameter field, it gets refilled automatically with default layout. If I do a condition around the filling (only if not initial) the default value filling does not work fine in every case, e.g. when clearing the parameters field and then change the radiobutton -> then it does not get filled automatically.

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.

CREATE OBJECT lo_header.
lo_header->set_column_count( 10 ).
lo_h_label = lo_header->create_label( row = 1 column = 1 ).

*   information in tabular format
CONCATENATE 'Dates: ' s_date-low ' ' ' to ' s_date-high ' ' INTO l_text RESPECTING BLANKS.

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 = 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'
