Displaying Excel Gridlines

Hi,
I have Office 2004 installed on MacPro with Leopard 10.5.7
When I open a new Excel file and start using it, NO gridlines are displayed (the View Gridlines checkbox is checked).
I have to go to Excel->Preferences and change the Gridlines colour from Automatic to Black (even though the automatic colour is apparently black). Then I get Gridlines displayed in dotted black lines in the current sheet.
However, this will only be for the current sheet - I have to do this on all sheets and all Excel files to view gridlines.
Doe anyone else get this?
Does anyone know how to resolve it? To get gridlines displayed automatically in black?
Perhaps changing the default colour of gridlines? how?
Thanks,
Richard

Since Excel is not made by Apple please post related questions on Microsoft's own forums for the Mac version of Excel, as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

Excel Gridlines

I want to export a report as a MS Excel 97-2000 (XLS) file, from InfoView, with gridlines. However, unlike the Excel export in CR, InfoView's does not have an option to display gridlines. How do I make this option available?
Thanks,
Arnel

Amel,
You are exporting a report from Infoview to excel format and when you open it in excel there are no gridlines? Can you please clarify the workflow to make sure I undserstand correctly?
The option to display gridlines is set in the actual crystal report.
1. Open the report from the designer
2. Select FILE --> EXPORT --> Report Export Options
3. Choose EXCEL and click OK
4. In the Dialog check the box reading "Show Gridlines"
5. Publish to Enterprise (unless you opened it from Enterprise)
The export settings are stored with the report at this point and export to Excel format should include gridlines.
As a reminder, the displaying of gridlines in excel is an option to the Excel program. Make sure that is set.

How to display Excel output in browser instead of client desktop

Hi,
Similar to PDF and Text output, Is it possible to display Excel Output In browser itself.
Whenever we try to view the report where the output type is excel, the output opens in Excel Desktop version.
We have a requirement where we need the output to be displayed in browser itself.
I have tried modyfing the Viewer profiles but was not able to get the desired result. We are currently working on E-Business Suite 11g.

How can I display Excel document saved as html in ebDynpro Office Contol?

Hello,
I have a problem with displaying of Excel document saved as html inside WebDynpro Office Control.
Could you explain why OfficeControl cannot display Excel document with content type =text/htm?
How you know, control must be bound to binary data. And then mime type is set as
bin.setMimeType(new WebResourceType("html", "text/html", false));
The empty document is displayed always.
Nevertheless, excel file is displayed perfect, when
bin.setMimeType(new WebResourceType("xls ", "application/msexcel", false));

The OfficeControl UI element is made available as an ActiveX control, so that the UI element can be displayed in browsers that support ActiveX controls.
The ActiveX control enables display of the following documents:
1.Microsoft Word documents with the doc file extension
2.Microsoft Excel documents with the xls file extension
This is the reason why document with other content types are not displayed.
Data source must be bound to binary data because files are read as bytes in this scenario.
Hope this helps you.
Do let me know if your problem is solved.

Vijith

Display Excel on browser & read the edited Excel sheet

Hi,
Till now i was using POI api to create Excel sheet and add data to the sheet. Now we had a requirement to display Excel sheet on browser. User can edit the Excel and on click of Save button, we need to read the data and save it to Database. If i use frames i can display Excel on browser. But once user edits the Excel, how to read the Excel sheet which is displayed on browser.

It sounds like what you're trying to do is write an Excel<-->HTML converter, no? If you want it editable through a browser (presumably with no Excel installed) but stored in the native format?

Generate and display excel file

Hi guys,
Is there a way to generate and display excel file in sapgui without the need of downloading the excel file to local directory first?
I found the following 2 ways of doing it, but both require me to download the generated xls file to local directory:
#1 way:
1. Generate the xls file using GUI_DOWNLOAD with the filename = 'c:\test.xls'.
2. Call fm SAP_STARTS_EXCEL and pass in the parameter i_filename = 'c:\test.xls'
#2 way:
1. Generate the xls file using GUI_DOWNLOAD with the filename = 'c:\test.xls'.
2. Upload it back using the below so that i can get it in xstring format.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
     exporting
       filetype = 'BIN'
       filename = 'C:\test.xls'
     tables
       data_tab = itab.
3. Then pass it to the cl_gui_html_viewer to display it.
call method html_control->load_data
    exporting
      url          = 'test.xls'
      type         = 'application'
      subtype      = 'vnd.ms-excel'
    importing
      assigned_url = l_url
    changing
      data_table   = l_pdf_data
    exceptions
      others = 1.
I prefer the #2 way as my program will get wrapped thru ITS server, and it seems the #1 way will not work. So is there any way i can get the excel file to be generated in xstring format so that i can pass to cl_gui_html_viewer straight away to display without having to save to local directory first?
Any other suggestion apart from the above 2 ways are welcome as well.
Thanks guys.

How can I display Excel using Word VSTO Addin.

Hi all.
I am a beginner.
And studying Word VSTO ribbon addins.
I wrote very simple one (works charm );
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application oAPP = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application;
oAPP.Selection.InsertAfter( " Hello, Word !! " );
oAPP.Selection.Collapse();
Now, I have to go on.
I want to display "Hello, Excel !! " from the same addin (from the Word Addin)
I tried to port the following VBA codes (into Word Addin);
   Set oEXCEL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
   Set oWBOOK = oEXCEL.Workbooks.Add
   oWBOOK.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Value = " Hello, Excel !! "
   oEXCEL.Visible = True
I do not know how to start from the very beginning.
I can not make "Application (for excel)" object at all.
VS says, the "Application" is not for the Excel but for the Word.
Yes, everybody know it. But, Excel has the same one too. So I tried to make casting. It never works.
I added required reference(s).
Wht do I have to do ?
Is it impossible, naturally ?
Regards

Hello,
The
How to automate Microsoft Excel from Microsoft Visual C#.NET article describes all the required steps for automating Excel from any other application.
Anyway, the current forum is for VSTO specific questions. I'd suggest asking Excel or Word specific questions on the
Excel for Developers or
Word for Developers forums instead.

Fewer than expected group outlines after display Excel inplace ALV

After upgrade 4.6 to ECC, I save alv grid layout with sorting and total function . If you switch to the Excel inplace display in ALV, the system displays an "group outlines" option in only first page (nearly 14 groups) . But the next page cannot group the same data in 1 value and no yellow color in subtotal lines
For example :
Current :
Material number   | transaction data |   origin   | actual cost   |
10                     | Good issue       |    A        |   10              |
10                     | Good issue       |    B        |   20              |
10                     |   Good issue      |    C        |   30              |
10                     | Good issue       |              |   60              | *   >>> No yellow color
Need :
Material number   | transaction data |   origin   | actual cost   |
10                     | Good issue       |    A        |   10              |
B
20
C
30
10                     | Good issue       |              |   60              | *   >>> Have yellow color

Problems while displaying EXCEL sheets within OUTLOOK

Dear all,
I have the following problem:
a user within the company receives sometimes emails containing excel sheets. the user wants to use/work with the preview within outlook, unfortunately the displayed values are different compared with the values if the sheet is opened with excel.
Now I'd want to ask if you had such a problem and also found a solution for that?
Best regards and thanks in advance
Oli

Hi Oli,
Does this only happen to these specific spreadsheets or all? Are these fixed manually entered value? Or references to other sources?
The previewers in Microsoft Outlook provide additional security against potentially harmful code to help protect you from malicious code,
active content embedded in attachments (including scripts, macros, and ActiveX controls) is disabled during a preview.
Thus, a preview might not show the most up-to-date content in the file. To see the most complete, up-to-date content, you need open the file in related Microsoft Office application.
