Download alv report in excel format in Linux

Hi All,
I am working on SAP GUI for Java in Linux PC. I have installed
Open Office.
After executing an alv report there is no spreadsheet option
to download the report in excel format .
Also, when doing Save as Local File -> Spreadsheet ,
the report is not downloaded in proper format.
So, how to download the alv reports in excel format ?

Hi Vinod ,
Save as Local File -> Spreadsheet
It will ask for Directory and file name with .xls format . Give proper name e.g. test.xls and save, and after saving file right click on the file and click on Open with "OpenOffice.org calc".
It will definetly work.

The problem of course is that you can't actually call up EXCEL on a Linux machine so such XXL functions as call function 'ALV_XXL_CALL' will not work.
I don't think SAP has OPEN OFFICE integration -- and even if you use EXCEL via the Linux Cross Over Office it is unlikely to work.
You might need to fiddle around with the internal file format yourself before saving it as a local file.
For EXCEL 2007 you actually have a better chance since if you save in TRUE EXCEL 2007 format the data is saved in a type of XML file.
You can read about the EXCEL 2007 new file formats on the M$ site. Note however that you will need to download the EXCEL 2007 file viwer to read the file with earlier versions of EXCEL.
(You can use EXCEL 2007 in "compatability" mode but using an XML file IMO seems a better option).
If you use a lot of EXCEL functionality probably the best option is to install Windows as a VM on your linux machine (VMWARE/PARALLELS/VMBOX etc) and then run the standard SAPGUI from the Windows VM.
Probably not the answer you want but it's the best I can do.

Problem in downloading ALV report to Excel

hi All,
i am facing the problem when i am trying to download the ALV report to Excel format i should have the option to save as the Excel file from the dropdown where as instead of it i am getting the option to save as XML file.
is it something related to settings in SAP or is it done through programatically.
thanks,

Anyways is this happening for every one in your team or just for one. If the latter, looks like the user has selected the download in XML format & checked the "remember these settings" checkbox
You can refer to this link on how to change the default settings: [http://home4sap.com/Blog/2010/03/ecc5-0-alv-default-file-format-when-extracting-files-to-excel/|http://home4sap.com/Blog/2010/03/ecc5-0-alv-default-file-format-when-extracting-files-to-excel/]
You can also check this SAP offers the possibility to make from transaction FAGLB03 a download

Hi Nirmal,
I have done the same in my previous organisation.For this particular solution you need to ask your basis guys to upgrade the support package so that BCS classes could be available in the system.
API interafces five some problem with attachemnts and SAP has recommended to use BCS classes.
Currently BCS classes won't be availbale in 4.7.
Once the BCS classes are available
use below code

    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed. "
But in development this problem is not there, iam able to download ALV report to EXCEL sheet.
Any help experts......
Thanks in advance
Ram

Hi,
I had the same problem,
Run a consistency check for your ALV and you will find out. See if you havent passed any unnecessary parameter to FM.

Download ALV report to excel sheet

halo fellow SAPiens,
i want to download my alv report into excel sheet...........for tht i used UGI_DOWNLOAD........here if i use the file type as 'ASC' all the leading zeros of numeric values are removed and date format is "yyyy/mm/dd".......
i need the leading zeros and date format in "dd/mmyyy"
when i use file type 'DBF' i get the leading zeros but my date is replaced by '#####.............wht shld i do...........

To get the leading zeros to come, append an apostrophe to the start of each field that has the leading zeros as shown
loop at itab.
concatenate '''' itab-field1 into itab-field1.
modify itab.
endloop.
note that
1. This sometimes doesnt show correctly in excel and you may have to double click on the cell to prevent the apostrophe from displaying in the sheet
2. You field needs to have an extra character to add the apostrophe

Help me to download my report in excel format.

Here is my code below. On selection screen I am giving three inputs.
And There are two radio buttons present on my selection screen.
first one is for display the report.
second button name is generate(to export the report).
Clicking on the generate radio button will show the report.
There should be a standard button on the toolbar called GENERATE.
Clicking on that button will show a popup window asking to download the report either in .xls format or in .csv format.

Downloading a report in excel format : getBlob WIS 30270 Error

Hello experts,
I 'm working in "Business Objects XI R2 SP2", the server is a "windows 2003 server".
I have a big report , that some times returns me that message error when I try to download it in excel format:
Error message: "An internal error occured while calling the getblob api error wis30270".
The number of lines in the report is 27800, the number of columns is 62, the file is 27mb.
If I push the drill button the I can download it without errors, but this is not a good solution for the final users...
Best regards
Camillo

Hi Camillo,
Following information might help you to resolve the issue.
.Business Objects Enterprise provides thresholds to protect the WebIntelligence report server and the Web Application servers from processing large chunks of binary and character data and avoid crashing.
Maximum Binary File Size: Maximum size of a binary file (for example: PDF, XLSu2026) that can be generated by the Report Server. If a binary file generated from a Web Intelligence document is greater than this limit, the generation is stopped to protect the server and an error is returned. Increase this limit if the server has to generate large binary files (for example, if InfoView users view large documents in *.pdf format).
Maximum Character File Size: Maximum size of a text stream (for example: HTML, XML) that will be transferred to the application server. If a text stream sent to the application server is greater than this limit, the generation is stopped to protect the server and an error is returned.
In CMC, under Servers>WebIntelligence Report server, you can possibly set both the above values to 50MB, but you have to ensure that the application server can handle the increased load multiplied by the number of simultaneous connections. If not, it can crash and block all access to applications.
2. Ensure that the Web Application servers have enough memory available to process incoming requests. Usually the -Xmx value for java process is set at 256Mb, which is recommended to be at least 1024Mb or more depending on your Export requirements and application server limitations.

Downloading ALV Report to Excel

Hi to all
My requirement is,
Final ALV is displaying the records with three headings.
Let there are records with heading.
    Name          City        Address
1) jasvinder     Delhi      123_Rambag.
once i download this record in the excel file
the name of the last heading should get changed. like
   Name          City         Place
1) jasvinder     Delhi      123_Rambag.
Actually i want to change the heading once
the file get downloaded(automatically).
Is it possible ?

hi,
u can give a button in ALV to download to excel.
if u use standard functionality in ALV, ur requirement is not possible.
So by give the buton its possible.
1. By clikcing button.
Use that FM GUI_DOWNLOAD twice:
First time download only header
Second time append table contents to the same file (import parameter append = 'X')
egx:
or example if your itab used for writing the abap list is like below.
data: begin of details occurs 0 ,
customer type kna1-kunnr,
name type kna1-name1 ,
end of details.
declare another internal table.
data: begin of headers occurs 0 ,
customer(100) ,
name(100),
end of headers.
move: '010101' to headers-customer ,
'Anver' to headers-name .
append headers.
now call GUI_download to download headers to filename c:/tem.xls
again call gui_download with APPEND = 'X' to the same file name and download details itab

Do you get a excel with empty sheet with excel in place ?
Then you need to enable macro in trust center of excel sheet settings. The way you do this depends on the version of excel you are using.
I am able to get 200+ columns perfectly this way.

Problem while downloading a ALV report to excel

Hi experts,
I have an ALV report which took long time to extract records from various table. So while there is some restriction the report can be executed well in foreground. And the report can be extracted well to excel sheet. But while there is hudge records, i have to execute the report in backgroung. And then from spool i generally prefers to download the report to excel.
There is a field UOM where it contains value ' " ' for some records. And also there may be possiblity that other fields can also contain the same.
Now my problem is: while download to excel... When ever there is a value ' " ' from this point to the next value ' " '. It is treating as one record. and keep that in a same position in the excel sheet.
But i want to keep all the values in there respective fields. Can you please how can i do that? Please give me some solution...
regards,
charles.

If anybody have any solution please send me....

Actually now I think there is another way to do this, storing file on application server can create problems as sometimes the users don't have directory write access or things like that.
Instead you should export your data to a memory or database cluster and import it back using abother program.
The proposed changes would be
1: At the point you are calling your alv grid function, check if the sy-batch is 'X' for background job, if yes than export to database table INDX or you can create your own. suppose your data is in internal table ITAB than in case of background job, you will do
data: keyf like indx-srtfd.
*We just assign username, date time to this
concatenate sy-uname sy-datum sy-uzeit into keyf.
EXPORT itab TO DATABASE indx(ZZ) ID keyf.
check for subrc if export is successfull.
Now you have stored your itab in database for later processing. remember to have keyf. In case of background job you can have it write in the output so from spool output you can check what was the keyf to use.
You have to write another program to import itab from database and download it or display it.....
This program will have keyf as input parameter and you must define ITAB same as the orignal program.
parameters: p_keyf like like indx-srtfd.
import itab from database indx(ZZ) id keyf.
*Now you have itab. do whatever you want with it. download it using GUI_DOWNLOAD function or display it in an ALV grid.......
Hope you got the overall idea.
