Excel to SAP Macro Example

Ok so here's an example of how to mass generate PDF's from PO placed on various Vendors. The entire code, if used on a VBA for Excel, does the task.
Can the VBA coding in SAP be edited so that instead of generating PDF's, it can be used to change Delivery and Stat date for a certain line item and save the PO? Like a mass Date Conversion on PO? Because thats very tedious task to accomplish sometimes.

Hi Kaustav,
See, the issue here is that your program is simulating human behavior. It is not asking SAP for details or field names, it is simply going to a point on the screen and performing the activity. It is just like a program we have in automation testing.
We have experience of programing such stuffs in college days, but wont be a wise thing to encourage it here.
for making changes to delivery dates (for specific lines of PO where MEMASSPO wont work), i recommend you to follow the standard path of ABAP or LSMW in that matter

Downloaded data in Excel from SAP table data to have the macro and control?

We know that in SE16 screen to display SAP table data, there is a menu item or button to download the table data to excel sheet, but in the excel sheet, the data is for display only and some calculation functions (e.g. sum) are not be able to be downloaded to the excel sheet as macro.
Our customers would like us to see if there is a way that in the excel sheet with the download SAP table data, only some certain rows/columns of data are allowed to be changed by customers or in other words, other areas in the excel sheet should be frozen and users can not even insert a column and do the copy/paste rows/columns. And also the original calculated column in SAP table (e.g., sum) would be in the corresponding column in the excel sheet, but with macro to do the same function (e.g., sum). After the customers perform some changes in some allowed certain rows/columns in the excel file, then the changed data can be uploaded back to SAP.
Wonder if there are such ABAP program to fullfill the above task to download SAP table data to an excel file and to make the downloaded data in the excel with only some certain row/columns to be changeable and all other areas frozen?
Thanks and we will give you reward points for valuable answers!

Hi,
This scenario can be met with the FM : RH_START_EXCEL_WITH_DATA
This is available in Older versions. Starts Excel with a macro.
I have never tried using this FM.
However, I came across : http://www.jt77.com/development1/programming-23850.html
Showing the use of it.
To get useful hints, also refer :
1) Transaction : DWDM
2) MS EXCEL as OLE Client :

Excel to SAP R/3

Hi All,
I need to create automation for uploading Excel data onto SAP R/3 using VBA.Have never done this before.Hence a few questions.
1.Once SAP is installed what references do i need to put in the VB Editor under Tools->references in order to connect to SAP and use its objects?
2.Can i achieve uploading of data from Excel using ODCBC.
3.I searched the net for excel to SAP links and found a term called RFC functions.What is RFC.
4.Do we need ABAP coding as well to achieve the same?
If someone can help me with the code for uploading data from excel to SAP,it would be great.Any reply in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Rgds

okay, here we go. As said before, I'll post here a series of comments outlining the use of webservices in the office2003 family to interact with an NW ABAP backend.
Specs: Office2003 with the Webservice Toolkit installed (Gregor's link; read the instructions carefully, especially make sure that you have the MSXML3.0-dll installed too); ABAP 6.40+ (I'll use a 7.0 system here); PHP5.2.0 with soap enabled for some quick tests;
In this first and easiest example we will specify a report within a Word document and download the coding to the Word document.
First we create the webservice on the backend, that is, a function module and let run the webservice wizard over it:
FUNCTION ZTW_READ_REPORT.
""Lokale Schnittstelle:
*" IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(PROGRAMM_NAME) TYPE SY-REPID
*" EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(LINES_OF_REPORT) TYPE ZTW_TABLE_OF_CODE_LINES
*"     VALUE(ERRORSTRING) TYPE STRING
errorstring = ''.
refresh lines_of_report.
read report programm_name into lines_of_report.
if lines_of_report is initial.
    errorstring = 'No such report!'.
endif.
ENDFUNCTION.
/code
ZTW_TABLE_OF_CODE_LINES is a table based on the structure DDS02.
Very simple, return the coding for a given report name or 'No such report!' in case it does not exist. RFC enable the FM!
Next we run the webservice wizard and create a webservice ZTW_READ_Report and release it for the SOAP runtime.
Now let's get the WSDL URL by selecting the webservice in transaction WSADMIN and clicking the WSDL button. A browser window opens and we copy the URL.
Sidestep: Let's test the service in a PHP script run from the commandline (i.e. without webserver set up).
<?
$login    = "USER";
$password = "PW123";
$proxyhost = '111.222.333.444;
$proxyport = 3128;
// WSDL URL PL5
$wsdlurl = "http://us4484.wdf.sap.corp:50084/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ZTW_READ_REPORT?"
       . "sap-client=201&sap-user=" . $login . "&sap-password=" . $password . "&sap-language=DE&wsdl=1.1";
$programm_name = $argv[1];
try {
     $client = new SoapClient($wsdlurl,
       array(
       'proxy_host' => $proxyhost,
       'proxy_port' => $proxyport,
       'login'     => $login,
       'password'    => $password,
       'trace'       => true,
       'exceptions'     => true));
catch(SoapFault $e) {
echo 'Caught a Constructor Error: - ' . $e->faultstring;
if (isset($client)) {
     try {
       $ra = $client->ZtwReadReport(array(
            'ProgrammName'         => $programm_name
     catch (SoapFault $e) {
       echo 'Caught an Error: - ' . $e->faultstring;
     if ($ra->Errorstring == "") {
     $node = $ra->LinesOfReport;
     foreach ($node as $val1) { //item
       foreach ($val1 as $val2) { //Line
            foreach ($val2 as $val3) { //Value
           echo $val3 . "
     else { echo $ra->Errorstring; }
else { echo 'No client object!'; }
?>
/code
we can run this program from the (win) commandline with
php scriptname.php reportname
/code
(make sure your php is on the path and that you're in the directory where your script is or use the full path name)
Notice the full WSDL URL http://servername:50084/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ZTW_READ_REPORT?sap-client=201&sap-user=USER&sap-password=PW123&sap-language=DE&wsdl=1.1";
We'll need this URL in the next step.
We open a MS Word Document and go to Tools|Macro|VisualBasic Editor. Inside the Editor we go to menu Tools and find an entry 'web service references' (unfortunately I've a German Version of Word at hand at the moment so I've got to guess a little, what the English menu entries might be called). If you do not find such an entry, your SOAP Toolkit installation did not work.
Choosing this we get a dialog which, in the lower left corner allows to select 'webservice URL'. Enable this and enter the URL mentioned before. Click Search. If everything works, we get a description of our webservice in the right hand side box.
Select the webservice found (mark the checkbox) and click 'Add'. This creates some VBA proxy classes representing your webservice.
In the VisualBasic Editor they can be found on the left hand side box under Project|Class Modules. They are
- clsof_Factory_ZTWREADREPORT
- clsw_ZTWREADREPORTService
- struct_D022S
Let's have a look at clsw_ZTWREADREPORTService. In the comments at the start of the script we find an explanation about the originationg WSDL and something on the usage of this proxy.
'Example:
' Dim ExampleVar as New clsws_ZTWREADREPORTService
' debug.print ExampleVar.wsm_ZtwReadReport("Example Input")
/code
Okay, all that's left to do, is to write a little Macro utilizing this proxy. Here we go:
Insert a new module to your VBA project and create a subroutine inside.
Sub read()
Dim errorstring As String
Dim lor As Variant
Dim ExampleVar As New clsws_ZTWREADREPORTService
Dim report_name As String
report_name = InputBox("Report:")
errorstring = ExampleVar.wsm_ZtwReadReport(report_name, lor)
Selection.TypeText Text:="Report" & report_name
Selection.TypeParagraph
For i = LBound(lor) To UBound(lor)
    With Selection
      .Font.Name = "Arial monospaced for SAP"
      .Font.Size = 10
      .TypeText Text:=lor(i).Line & vbCrLf
    End With
Next
End Sub
/code
When executed (Tools|Macro|Macros->read), this macro pops up an input box, allowing you to enter a programme name, then downloads the coding of that report, formats it a little (10 pt Arial monospaced for SAP) and pastes it into our word document.
Voilá, done.
What have we learnt so far:
- installing the SOAP toolkit into Office2003
- testing a webservice using commandline PHP
- creating webservice proxy functions in VBA
- allow dynamic user interaction with the document (input box) and therefore subsequently with the webservice
- calling a webservice from within an Office document (i.e. passing data to the ABAP Service & retrieving data from it)
Basically, that is all you need to start. It works the same in every Office application. The better you know VBA now (especially the trilions of classes within the various applications) the fancier applications you can build. I'll try to chip in some ideas thereof in the next days.

Report using the feature of opening Excel in SAP.

We are building a custom report using the feature of opening Excel in SAP.
We need to do things like:
Protect the worksheet, but leave some rows unprotected
Freeze the windows
Have any one ever used this feature before? Can any know how to do this?
Thank you,

No, no extra somewhere. What it actually is, is that you are calling the methods of the application(sort of). Here is an example application which does to the freeze panes.

call method of e_appl 'WORKBOOKS' = e_work.
call method of e_work 'OPEN'
          exporting
               #1 = p_file.
* Write data to the excel file
do 20 times.
* Create the value
    field_value = sy-index.
    shift field_value left deleting leading space.
    concatenate 'Cell' field_value into field_value separated by space.
* Position to specific cell in Column 1
    call method of e_appl 'Cells' = e_cell
           exporting
                #1 = sy-index
                #2 = 1.
* Set the value
    set property of e_cell 'Value' = field_value .
* Position to specific cell in Column 2
    call method of e_appl 'Cells' = e_cell
           exporting
                #1 = sy-index
                #2 = 2.
* Set the value
    set property of e_cell 'Value' = field_value .
* Position to specific cell in Column 3
    call method of e_appl 'Cells' = e_cell
           exporting
                #1 = sy-index
                #2 = 3.

Excel to SAP using VBA

I would like to know if there is any possible way of exporting data from excelt to SAP using VBA code. I was going through one of the blogs /people/kathirvel.balakrishnan2/blog/2006/05/09/data-upload-into-sap-from-microsoft-excel-150-vba-part
where in the data was exported from excel to SAP with the help of table name. Can the same be done using trasaction codes in SAP? If so, how.
Also, I would like to know,if I can record a particular session(as how we do for recording a macro in excel) and use the same recorded session for other entries too.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
P.Yogesh

Hello,
Whatz impossible ??
Yes you can export the data from excel to SAP using VBA, but you need to create fome RFC in SAP as well that will handle the data you will send.
1. Create a RFC function in R/3 that will read a file from specific location and perform the respective transaction.
2. Create your excel file with respective file format and call the RFC function in SAP passing the parameters as file name and other required details.
3. SAP coding for RFC will be a single time activity and then onwads you can just create excel file for upload and use VBA code to initiate the RFC call.
Hope this make some sence. Tell me if you have more queries.

Vishal

Making and running excel or word macros

i would like to make a excel or word macro and run it in labview, but
i don´t want to run without view the code directly in labview because
i will need to modify the code in order to do differents things
depending of the choose that i can make when the program it´s running
so the answer is: how can i see the macro code in labview in and excel
or word application and how to run it?
don´t answer the solution it´s easymacro.com, couse i am a student and
i need to see the diagram in order to learn
thanks!

I think ActiveX is what you need, but you'll have to elaborate a bit to modify and run macros. Look at the examples shipped with LabVIEW about controlling Excel, and see how those work. After that, you'll see that almost anything can be done using ActiveX.
Good luck

Integrated Excel and VB Macros...Problems

Hi,
We are running MAP transactions (RETAIL) that use integrated Excel for planning purposes. Once we open the transaction we have access to an excel application where we maintain data.
The problem is that we are trying to use some complex VB macros to validate online entries, but we are facing problems if we call the Excel from SAP (The file runnning on its own works fine):
- The events WORKBOOK.OPEN or AUTOOPEN do not seem to run. I need to run a macro when the workbook is started form SAP;
- I've been getting runtime erros and some are related to this: ACTIVECELL = nothing (?).
Have you found similar problems?
Where can I find VB programing guidelines for Integrated Excel in SAP.
Thanks
Leonardo De Araujo

Hi Tarun,
you are in the wrong forum. You are using the R/3 based Retail solution, this is based on the CO Planningprocessor Excel integration, it is not based on SEM or
BW-BPS. So you can not find the BPS predefined VBA macro exits.
In the R/3 solution there exist no predefined VBA macro exits. But you can add your code more or less at the same 'events':
- the backend triggers the SAP makros via Sub R3MacrosExecute() at each PAI, PBO cycle
- Sub R3PutValuesEnd() is called when the system has filled Excel with data at the end of the PBO cycle; here you can do adjustments and add your macros
- Sub R3GetRangesSingle is called at the beginning of the PAI cycle to the read the data from Excel and to do the transfer to the backend
- active cell problem: SAP makros to not set a selection explicitly, you can do this in your makro, e.g. the first data cell or first input ready cell
To implement a kind of 'validation' I suggest to trigger the check via Excel button; the problem is you can not control the PBO, PAI cycle from Excel, i.e. you can send error pop-up in Excel but you can not stop the PAI cycle. So you can not implement a real error handling.

EXCEL spreadsheet with MACROS

WILL NUMBERS 2009 SUPPORT AN EXCEL SPREADSHEET WITH EMBEDDED MACROS?

Looks like Excel will get macros back. This is from Wikipedia:
Microsoft has announced that the Mac OS X version will also be released in 2010. Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac will include more robust enterprise support and greater feature parity with the Windows edition. An all-new version of Outlook with full Exchange support will return to the Mac for the first time since 2001 and replace Entourage[47], and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA, aka "macro" support) will return after being dropped in Office 2008[48][49]. There is no public beta for the Mac version,[50] however, a copy of Beta 2 (Build 14.0.0.100326) has been circulated among many Mac file sharing websites. [51]
