Excel charset issue. Scrambled output.

I faced this issue many times, but whenever the issue recurs, I end up with no clue of what's going wrong.
Trying to dump data to an excel file:
                    iResponse.setHeader("application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=UTF-8", "content-type");
                    iResponse.setHeader("attachment; filename = \"" + reportFileName() + "\" ", "content-disposition");
                    iResponse.setContentEncoding("UTF-8");
                    iResponse.setContent(fileData());
The excel file contains international languages scrambled (e.g. Chinese). I tried bigendian as charset, but still the output is scrambled.
I checked the response using firebug, my output data is fine.
Can anybody throw some pointers on this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Senthil

Export to excel sizing issue

Hi there,
we are facing a weired issue when using export to excel from the query output, we have notice that while we save the excel it is getting saved as a HUGE file irrespective of the data volume.
For ex:our report has 1100 records, but when we export to excel it got saved as a 7MB file..
However when we save the file as CSV, it work okay.. wondering why are we facing an issue while export to excel ?? Is there any way that we can set the Excel format options in query output??
I've tried searching in forums, couldn't find the solutions, Please could any one throw some light on this??
Regards,
J

Hello,
The reason for the increase in size is discussed in SAP Note 1178857.
"The export to Excel function is supported as of Excel 2003. It generates an XHTML file in the Multi Mime format. This means that
Mimes (for example, icons and screens) are stored in the file. Therefore, as opposed to the BW 3.X function, you do not need to
logon to Excel again to download, for example, icons for hierarchy nodes. If you want to save the report after the export, Excel proposes the file format MHT or MHTML. This corresponds with the Multi Mime format of the generated file."
So, I think you already know this....
Possible solutions are:
1) Use open hub instead.
2) Design BI Workbooks individually for your queries and distribute them to Portal using a precalculated server. This will
help in reducing the file size and distribute the precalculated results in simpler way. You can refer to following documentation in this regard.

Export to excel - Formatting issue - OBIEE 11.1.1.5

Hi All,
When an analysis is exported to Excel, some of the values are showing some strange behaviour i.e. some values are multiplied by some huge number as you can see in the excel screenshot below.
BI Analysis Screenshot:
http://i44.tinypic.com/331eopf.jpg
Excel Screenshot:
http://i44.tinypic.com/34snqko.jpg
Is this BI issue or an Excel setup issue? And how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We too faced the similar issue.
We tried ROUND function and it was coming with proper formatting.
Try and let me know further.

Issuing two outputs at a time.

For a given invoice,we have to issue ouput(Smartform) to Bill-to-party with BP Address.
Also we need to check the buying group(KNB1-EKVBD) of sold-to-party with that of Bill-to-party. If the buying group of SP and BP is different,then we need to issue output also to Payer with PY Address(instead of BP Address).So in this case we need to issue two outputs : one for SP and another for PY with different addresses.
How can we achieve this? All suggestions are welcome.

Hi Nikhil,
You will need some steps. First create an additional output type with exactly the same settings as RD00.
This output type should have a requirement that should only be processed in case the buying group differs.
Then in the smartform you should copy the address-node and both adress nodes should have a Condition: one to be processed in case of output type RD00 (regular invoice) and one with the condition to be processed in case of your newly defined output type.

John.

Why can't I use the function of menu item 'issue delivery output'?

why can't I use the function of menu item 'issue delivery output' in main screen of delivery note?
And at the same time I can't use the button of printing in main screen of delivery note.
the main screen of delivery note I mean above is in screen of maintaining shipping data instand of the first screen of VL02N.
TKS in advance.

Hi,
Because delivery will be having header level output and item level output. So if u try to print through main screen then system will not know whether it is header related or item related. That is the reason it is only print output at header level or item level but not in main screen.
I think u may have doubt like how billin will be issued output through Main screen. Because for billing both header and item level data are same..

But in BO, the report looks great. With all the cells aligned and matching. Is there a way to manipulate something in the BO report to make it Excel friendlier?

Re-issue PO Output

Hi All,
I have an output setup (email) in the PO. When the PO gets created we have conditions setup in MN04/MN05/MN06 to release it automatically. Does anyone know of a way to re-issue the output in MASS (maybe 20 PO's) after the output has already intially been sent.
I do know that in my output in configuration, I can setup the PO to release upon changes. However, we do not want to do this for every PO. I have also looked at transaction ME9F, but do not see a way to release the email output again.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi There
If it is only for the selected POs and not to do trigger from ME22n,
You can do the folllow
1. Me9f
2.Processing Status-1
3.Provide the list of PO doc number
4.Execute it
5.Select all and Click on the message details and Select the output types and Click on the repeat output
6.Save
7.Back to the main screen and with the Processing Status-0, execute it, all the POs can be output again
Thanks

Can anyone please advise me on this issue.

Try to check your system time (local settings i.e control panel-> time....) is displaying correctly or not. As BO will take your local system date/ time in reporting.

Issue delivery output

Dear Gurus...
On the VL02N initial screen, After I write outbound delivery number, I want to get print-out without entering the VL02N screen. So I follow the path as Outbound delivery> Issue delivery output and system shows only ONE output OPTION as "Z040"
But to fix this issue I enter the VL02N screen and follow the path as:
Extras>Delivery output>Header>I choose output type which "Z030 AND Z040" After I choose these types, then I am able to get outputs..
I want to get outputs from initial VL02N screen..
So how can I accoplish this???
thansk in advance....

Hi,
As I understood from your requirement, you want to print 2 output types from the initial VL02N screen. (Z030 AND Z040) But as at now when you go to VL02N, you can see only Z040. Therefore you have to go in to VL02N and add Z030 every time to get that printout.
So now what you want is to get those 2 outputs attached automatically; so that you can get print outs from the initial screen of VL02N.
You can do this.
Go to VV21 transaction.
Select your output type. (Z030) and press enter key
If there is any access sequence select relevant one.
Enter relevant data
Under "Communication" button maintain relevant output device as well. (If your not too sure as what to maintain go to VV22 transaction for your correct output (Z040) and do same for Z030 as well
Save it.
Then create a new delivery and see the output option from the initial screen of VL02N.
You should be able to see both Z030 AND Z040.
Try and revert.
Best regards,
Anupa

Excel saving issues error: Someone else is working right now, please try again later"

Excel saving issues error: Someone else is working right now, please try again later"
I am running W8.1 with Office 2013 and accessing a shared drive, When I try to save an excel document back to the shared drive - I get the error msg
"Someone else is working in "servername\share\filename" right now, please try again later"
I can see that there is no one else accessing this file at all. I created a brand new file, added content, saved and got the same error.
When I use a W7 with Office 2013 accessing the same share drive, accessing the same file - I am able to save the document without issues.
Does anyone have any ideas what this could be. Both of these situations are while working from home using a company vpn connection. It does not happen when in the office using either W8.1 or W7.
Peter.

Hi,
Saves when saving locally. Its looking more like W8.1 on a VPN connection that is causing the issue. What can I look for
I mean you can try to save it to local drive(like drive c:) and then copy it to shared drive.
If you gain the access to the shared file server, you can check the file status when you open this file.
Also you can check your event log to see which process causes this error.
Since I'm not familiar with VPN, I'd suggest you post your issue to the following forum:

Thanks & Regards

Hi Nam,
This probelm is becuase you are trying to enter a record for which primary key already exists in the table.
The insertion you are doing with a set of values which already exist and sap is getting this error that the "Duplicate record during insertion". try to check your insertion values and through se16 check if they already exist in the table mkpf.
To rectify the data or else change the table and add one more unique to the primary key.

Issue in output

Hi,
while issuing the output, there are 4 options. out of them "3.send with own application" is also one option. what happens if we set this options..?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rahul

When you set the Option 3 , it means that output is not triggered automatically at the time of saving the document.
Hence, you can manually print / issue the output in change mode of the relevant application ( eg if its orde acknowledgement, go to VA02 ).
You can keep on printing / issueing the output as many times as you want by everytime going to change mode of the relevant applciation / transaction

Multiple issuing of output in the NACE transaction

Hello SD Gurus,
While configuring the Output type in the details we have field called Multiple issuing field in general data.
What is the functionality of the multiple issuing?
If we flag the multiple issuing how it will help us?
If we remove the flag the multiple issuing how it will help us?
Here i am waiting for your answers.
Regards,
Kishore reddy

Dear Kishore,
Multiple issuing of output
Indicates whether the same output may be issued to the same partner more than once.
Example
For example, if you add an order item to a sales order for which the order confirmation was already sent, you will want to send a changed output to the same customer.
I hope this will help you,

Murali.
