Excel Limit - Download to excel

Hi,
I am facing a situation where i have to download the data to excel. The data in internal table has more than 65,363 records so it's exceeding the excel limit.
My question has two parts.
1- Is there any way I can download whole data into one sheet.
If it's not possible, then can we break the download after 65363 records and creates another file programatically in ABAP in one go of download.
Thanks,

Thanks Rob, Can you tell me from which version MS has changed the limit. The other thing is we have to upgrade for every end user's, i'm not sure whether my company will do it or not.
But if any solution is possible then it would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Download-to-excel vs. web print to excel

There is an old how-to guide about downloading web report to Excel and it worked fine. Now we are implementing the web print to Excel function. However, two concerns:
1) what's the advantage of web print to excel over download to excel function?
2) in web print to excel, the header is fine but the cells of rows are all aligned in first column vertically! I only imported the classes and used the HELP class but did not configure the XML tags.

Using the old How to guide (2.0B) you will only download the data on the screen, if you had multiple pages it will not download any of those extra pages.
The new Excel print is based on MS Office HTML, here you have more options for setting print options by default in the template, like page orientation, repeating column headers, paper size (legal, A4 etc..), report header etc... you can also have a print specific template using the device types.
One more advantage over the 3.0B Excel download is if you use Table APIs for manipulating data it will be taken into account with the new soltuion. This also supports multiple data providers.
Thanks.

Limit the number of record to download to excel from a report

I am just wondering if there is a way to limit the number of rows that I want to download to excel from a report in apex, right now when I click download to excel it downloads all records. If I am displaying 15 records on report page I want the ability to download only those records.
Any help with that would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Sofia.

Sofia,
The same report query runs for downloading the data into excel, I don't think you can limit the number of records in download.
You can achieve it using custom code, like on click of download excel redirect to another page and then restrict the data as per your need, or you can use the custom procedure to download the limited data.

Download to excel sheet from ALV Grid report

Hi,
I need to download 3 lakhs of data to excel sheet but the constraint is that excel is having max limit of 65000 line items.
So i need to know the way in which i can create more than one sheet in excel while downloading so that each sheet can hold upto 65000 line items.
i need to create atleast 6 sheets in excel while downloading from report.
please help.

Hi,
While downloading the data, it will prompt you save the list in file - Uncoverted, Spreadsheet, Rich text format, HTML format, Copy to Clipboard.
Why don't you try using Uncoverted format and give extension as .txt file.
So that you can download all 3 lacs of records.
Even if you use any FM, it will indirectly use excel for downloading and it will have restriction of having 65000 records only.
Thanks,

Download to excel from web report generated through ITS

We were on SAP 4.6B. We have several abap reports for which we have a web interface using ITS. On the broweser output we have provided a URL which reads 'Download to CSV file' . This has been achieved by modifying the function www_get_report. The mod first generates a unique filename and exports the name to the memory and generates the hyperlink. The abap report program ftp'ies a the csv file to the ITS server path as in the URL.
Now we have upgraded to ECC 5.0 and we want to achieve the download to CSV option without the modification. What would be the best way to achieve this in the netweaver platform.

Issue with Data download to excel from ALV

Hi,
I am trying to download data to excel from ALV.
The number of records are 26000.
When I am trying to download I am getting an error displaying a pop up saying that
problems came up in the following areas during the load
TABLE
The log displayed is not clear.
I need to know the limitations while downloading to excel... I tried in SDN but of no use. I am using office 2007.
What is the max downloading limit(MB)
What must be the Length of line that can be downloaded.
Regards

Hi ,
First check whether your ALV grid OUTPUT is Consistent or Not .
if there are any inconsistency then you need to rectify that .
for Checking COnsistency / Inconsistency .do following steps
1) execute ALV report
2) Press Shift+Mouse Right Button (Twice) in blank area of report
3) you will get result whether ALV is good or not .

Firstly, Thanks for Your quick Response, Thomas.
Even though what ever may be the file name I am passing either info.xml or Info.xls , In error info.xls is coming.
Kindly provide me an alternative on this XML doesn't seem like it would match the 'application/vnd.ms-excel'.
what is the supported format.?
Similarly, It is not considering the UTF-8 / UTF-16 for xml.........same result is appearing in the output.

Doubt on ALV report download to EXCEL

Hi All,
i have written a report with ALV_GRID FM, by default we get the option to download the output to excel. But when we click on the download to excel, it displays the output
in the frist page, but it also opens so many pages like
format, header, pivot,sub1,sub1....etc.
Pls. check the SAP standard report BCALV_TEST_FULLSCREEN, does the same thing when we do download to excel.
How can i avoid opening so many pages in excel?
Thanks for the help.

Hi ,
prabhu here , i think check the FM wheather u r passing all these to FM. for Excel keep export.param: --> i_save only and check.

Help needed: Download to excel without pop-up

Hi All,
In a particular scenario, I require to trigger an action once a file have been successfully downloaded to EXCEL from Webdynpro UI. But in case of download functionilty, once the MS window pop-up for download comes up, the control is lost from Webdynpro and its impossible to track whether user have saved, opened or canceled the file.
Is there any functionality to directly download internal table content to EXCEL, without facing the download popup. Please let me know any function module or functionality for this.
Thanks in advance to all.
Regards,
Mainak

yes there are many tutorials on SDN regarding this
u may procced like this :
get the contents in internal table and then use the FM 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
DATA text   TYPE string.
DATA xtext TYPE xstring.
*   get all declared attributes
lo_nd_sbook->get_static_attributes_table(
    IMPORTING
     table = lt_sbook ).
LOOP AT lt_sbook INTO ls_sbook.
CONCATENATE text ls_sbook-carrid
ls_sbook-connid
ls_sbook-fldate
ls_sbook-bookid
ls_sbook-order_date
ls_sbook-counter
ls_sbook-passname
cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline INTO text SEPARATED BY
cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
ENDLOOP.
    CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
      EXPORTING
        text   = text
      IMPORTING
        buffer = xtext.
    wdr_task=>client_window->client->attach_file_to_response(
**path to the word file
i_filename = 'WDP.xls'
* String Variable
i_content = xtext
* File Type
i_mime_type = 'EXCEL' ).
here it_sbook is the inernal table and ls_sbook is the structure type of the attributes declared in the context node sbook
DATA ls_sbook TYPE wd_this->element_sbook.
* data LT_SFLIGHT type WD_THIS->ELEMENTS_SFLIGHT.
DATA lt_sbook TYPE wd_this->elements_sbook.

Download to Excel is hiding rows in a pivot view

Hello ,
When downloading a report to excel from OBIEE Dashboard , certain rows are getting hidden . For instance , I have total 15 rows in my pivot view and when I download that report into excel format , the rows from 8-13 are not showing up . After 7th row I see 14th row .
But when I download the same report from Answers I can see all rows in the pivot view .
I tried looking at the formatting options of the pivot view and everything is normal . This is happening only with this particular report , other reports in dashboard download normally .
Please let me know if anybody has ideas .
Thank you
Karthik

karthik,
From where ur downloading to excel ...use the download option available at "preview " button ,if you are using the same go with report links download button option
Last option create a new report (without any filters in case if u have)
Thanks,

Download to excel using GUI_DOWNLOAD : Date format

Hi Gurus,
I am downloading the data from an internal table to excel file using FM gui_download. The date field in my internal table is in the format MM-DD-YYYY (stored as Char 10 field). But when it downloads to excel, the date format changes to MM/DD/YYYY. I want to keep original format of MM-DD-YYYY in excel.
Please help, sure points for helpful answers.
should i use FM gui_download only, or is there some Other useful FM.
Regards,
Abhishek

Hi,
Check the code below:
v_date = sy-datum.
IF v_date CA '/'.

Upload and download of excel file in the application server in background

Hi all,
i want to download the excel file from application server into internal table and after processing i have to upload to excel file in the application server in the background mode..
i mean i'll schedule the program in background.
im using FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE its working fine in fore ground but not in back ground.
what method i have to follow ?

Hi Ankit,
I think this is not possible to open a Excel-File from the application server because the Excel format before Office 2007 where a binary format (Suffix: .xls). The newer Office file format (Suffix: xlsx) is a zipped XML Format. To read the binary Excel-Format you need an OLE Connection between SAP GUI and Office. But at the application server in background you doesn't have this OLE Connection.
In my opinion you have two possibilities:
1. Convert all files in the CSV format. This file format can be read with open dataset.
2. Upload the files from the presentation server in forground. There are some funktion modules in the standard which can read the xls format. But they have some limits regarding the length of cells content.
My recommendation is solution no. 1. If you know an VBA expert, he can write an Excel-macro which converts all Excel Files in the CSV-Fomat.

Download to excel in different tabs from bsp page

Hi all,
I have a requirement in which I have to download to xl-sheet in different tabs based on some conditions from a bsp page.
I am successful in downloading data into different tabs.
Now I had written the piece of code required to download to xl in a function module
and I am calling that function module when pressing a button in bsp page.
When I run the fm seperately its working but when I run it from bsp page its not working.But while debugging I found that the fm is being called and executed perfectly without any errors.
But the xl is not being created on our side.
Can anyone suggest me how to proceed on this.
Helpful answers will be rewarded.
Thanks,

Hello experts,
I know there are many threads on this topic in the forum. I tried using method cl_bsp_utility=>download

Please help as this is real showstopper for the application, I am developing.
Thanks, in advance.

Hi Gopal,
Thanks for your reply.
Tried the code you sent me. As I am using BSP-MVC, I am building method in controller class and with event handling calling the method that handles download to excel. But it is not doing anything at all.
Thank you.
