Execute an Excel Macro?

Hello all,
I created a report in which I show the result in an Excel...so far no problem... I open an Excel Template document, I pass the information I want to the places I want etc. The only problem is that I method for executing a macro seems not to work!
Does somebody has an idea whats wrong?
The security for macros in the excel is at medium...I already tried to put the security level to low...but nothing.
The <i>retcode</i> has as result "MACRO_OR_SCRIPT_FAILED"
I created the Macro and I am sure it works...because when I execute it manualy it does what it should do. Even after my report has open the documente and shows the document I can execute de macro and it works.
        call method p_g_document->execute_macro
          exporting
            macro_string = 'COPYSHEET'
          importing
            error        = it_errors
            retcode      = retcode.
Just for information, the only thing the macro does is copying a spreadsheet.
I somebody could help it would be great, I already lost some days to find the solution.
Thanks in advanced.

Hey all,
Does not seemes that someone has the answer I need, but my last question for this topic is....
Does someone of you already implement a report, using an excel with macro calling from ABAP?
I have doubts if the method
<i>call method I_OI_DOCUMENT_PROXY->execute_macro</i> really work for Excel.
Even in the SAPOFFICEINTEGRATION example I am not sure if it works.
Maybe someone of you has an working example of macro calling from ABAP for Excel.
I would be very glad if somebody has some ideas for my problem....I getting mad with this... :-S
Greetings,

Execute Excel Macro Through DIAdem

Hi All,
I am currently trying to run a script in DIAdem which exports certain material properties to an Excel Macro-enabled workbook. Inside the Excel workbook the user executes a macro to perform some calculations. The results of that calculation will then be re-imported into a DIAdem report. I have the import/export data part down, but the million dollar question is how can I execute an Excel macro from DIAdem's VBScript?
I know some are going to say this makes no sense, just do the calculation in DIAdem. I know this, but the file/calculations are an industry accepted toolbox and it must be done this way.
Thanks in advance and here is some dumbed down code to showcase the example:
Option Explicit 'Forces the explicit declaration of all the variables in a script.
Dim excel
Dim excelbook
Dim a
Set Excel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Excel.Visible = True
Set excelbook=Excel.Workbooks.Open("My File")
excelbook.Sheets("InputResults").range("B5").value = Data.Root.ChannelGroups(ChanGrp#).Properties("myProp").Value
'Call 'My_Macro' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Msgbox("Result is: " & excelbook.Sheets("InputResults").range("B5").value)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi GT_Mark
You simply can use the methode Run
Call Excel.Run("MyMacro")
Of course you have to make sure that you refer only to data that are available in Excel.
To obtain CodeCompletion for Excel in the script editor select Microsoft Excel x.x Objects Library in the "Registed Type Libraries" dialog box. The x.x value depends on your installed Excel version. To open this dialog box, select Script»Type Libraries in DIAdem SCRIPT.
Hope this helps

Executing Excel Macros from SAP

Hi all Experts,
I have created a program which tranfers data from different internal tables into Different Worksheets of a single workbook.
Now, Can some one please tell me how to Execute macros from SAP.
Regards,
AJ

To execute an Excel macro follow these steps.
1. Create macro inside Excel Workbook where you transferred your information.
2. Use following instruction to execute the desired macro you create:
    DATA: EXCEL TYPE OLE2_OBJECT.
    CREATE OBJECT EXCEL 'Excel.Application'.
    CALL METHOD OF EXCEL 'Run' EXPORTING #1 = 'WRITE_SHEET_CELL'
                                                                        #2 = 'VALUE1'
                                                                        #3 = 'VALUE2'
                                                                        #4 = 'VALUE3'.
In previous example, macro WRITE_SHEET_CELL was created first. The macro name must be in uppercase.

Running Excel macros from ABAP

Hello everyone,
I am trying to execute an Excel macro from an ABAP program. We are currently on a 46C system. While doing some research on help.sap.com I came across the method execute_macro in class i_oi_document_proxy. Ive never used methods in ABAP before and Im not really sure what Im doing. Has anyone got this to work? When I try to run the program it dumps with error OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED.

Hi,
Please correct me if I am wrong but it seems that you have not fetched a handle to the document object before issuing the statement CALL METHOD document->execute_macro. Hence the error OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED is being dislayed. If you want to use SAP Desktop Office Integration using ABAP Objects, take a look at this article at http://www.intelligenterp.com/feature/archive/ or http://www.sapinfo.net/public/en/index.php4/article/comvArticle-193333c63b4bd807d2/en/articleStatistic
Hope this helps.

Execute Infopackage Through BAPI Using Excel Macro (BAPI_IPAK_START)

Hi everyone,
I have a problem when execute infopackage through BAPI using excel macro. I have create a button in macro. When this button is clicked, BAPI for trigger InfoPackage will executed (BAPI_IPAK_START) and this button will disabled.
After this process completely done (traffic indicator for the request is green in update rules), the button will enabled again.
Here the subroutine or pseudocode that i will write :
Private Sub ClickButton()
Begin
1. ThisButton.Activated = False --> Disabled Button
2. Call BAPI/custom Function Module to execute InfoPackage (BAPI_IPAK_START)
4. ThisButton.Activated = True --> Enabled Button
End
The problem is i need some statement like this between statement no 2 and statement no 4
Statement That I Want :
3. Wait Until BAPI Execute Completely
So user can click this button again only after the process is finished completely. I don't know how to do this in macro (in ABAP i know i can use "WAIT ... SECOND"), others said this can be done using event in schedule option at infopackage. Anyone,please help me.
Thank you.
Regards,
Satria B

Excel macro will not run with OLE

I have an ABAP program which builds an Excel macro with VBA code, downloads the file and inserts it into a new Excel workbook, and then runs the macro to populate the workbook. All of this is being done via OLE functionality.
The process works correctly for 99% of our user community. However, some users are having trouble where when the Run Macro command is executed, the program just hangs and nothing happens.
Here's a snippet of the code:
CREATE OBJECT excel 'EXCEL.APPLICATION'.
Insert macro file into the spreadsheet.
CALL METHOD OF excel 'Modules' = ole_module NO FLUSH.
CALL METHOD OF ole_module 'Add' = ole_newmodule NO FLUSH.
CALL METHOD OF ole_newmodule 'Activate' = ole_activate NO FLUSH.
CALL METHOD OF ole_newmodule 'InsertFile' = ole_insertfile NO FLUSH EXPORTING #1 = macrofile.
FREE OBJECT ole_insertfile NO FLUSH.
FREE OBJECT ole_activate NO FLUSH.
FREE OBJECT ole_newmodule NO FLUSH.
FREE OBJECT ole_module.
Execute the macro(s).
macro_name = 'load_data_zsddxl'.
CALL METHOD OF excel 'Run' = ole_run EXPORTING #1 = macro_name.
FREE OBJECT ole_run.

What's strange is that if after starting Excel I set the property VISIBLE = '1', everything works as expected.
The affected users are running on Windows7 with Excel 2010.
Thanks for any direction you can provide.

No, I don't. It's been my understanding that by omitting the "NO FLUSH" from a command, that the accumulated commands are flushed at that point. But I'll give it a try. Willing to try anything at this point.
Thanks.

Java Error while executing the excel template in the BIP 10g report server

Hello Gurus,
While we are executing the excel template we are getting the following java error and the report cannot be rendered to user who triggers the report. Where as the same excel template is generating output when user run it against the same data locally.
"oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.ProcessingException: [ID:652] Document file to deliver not found : C:\Oracle\bipublisher\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\xmlpserver\xmlpserver\xdo\tmp\xmlp3307tmp

We have tried with designing the .rtf template for this report and we are able to generate the report form the server. Please let us know the cause for this error in the server and way to rectify the exception from the report server.
Thanks,
Kamath.

imho it's about empty result file
Data are there
may be yes but is some data from all for report itself ?
in other words data can be in output ( in xml ) but report can filters data and so report doesn't have appropriate data to representation ( it's assumption for error )
Data are there, when we are using rtf template, it is generating the output.
if you sure about data for report and on this data report works fine by bip desktop, so no ideas, only SR
btw you can first check my assumption and try to catch "no data found" in template
also you can check data itself, is it well-formed xml

Excel macro error after deploying in Weblogic

Halo,
I have written excel macros and it is working fine.
but if the same file if i try to open from hyperlink after deploying in Weblogic server , I get the error
"error occured initializing the VBA libraries.
If Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) was not installed, or was set to Install on first use,
(advertised, or set to install on demand) you may receive this error message.
Depending on the mode of installation used and the rights of the user to change current settings,
it is possible to install VBA through Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Microsoft Office, Add or Remove
features. If Visual Basic for Applications is not listed as an installable feature of Office, the administrator
of your system may have disabled it so it is impossible for you to install it. If VBA is not installed,
it is impossible to run VBA applications/projects on this computer. "
1. Even though Excel VBA application is installed in my machine , why am i getting this error.??
2. I would like to know is there any way to open the excel file even though if the excel software is not installed in client machine??
Appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hi,
I do not see any reason for this to not work.
Is there any difference between the preferences for RX and RXI. Please go to "edit" -> "Preferences" -> "Security(Enhanced)" and uncheck "Enable protected mode at startup".

Using Excel macros & change properties

Hi,
1) my program use Excel macro via a runtime.exec(cmd). I want to use JWS to deliver new versions of application but if I have to put my macros in a jar file how can I reach them (no problem with a file propertie or with gif ressources).
2) how can I change default properties ("Dossier des applications" in French maybe Applications dir in advanced) wich is enabled in the window.
thanks a lot
Sophie

1) my program use Excel macro via a runtime.exec(cmd).
I want to use JWS to deliver new versions of
application but if I have to put my macros in a jar
file how can I reach them (no problem with a file
propertie or with gif ressources).You have a lot of options how to do this.
I would try to use the I/O APIs that reads the macro file
from a web server (InputStream is = url.openStream()) and put it
in a local file (FileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file)).
Of course you would need a local location where to store it, could
be hardwired, or asked from the user.
2) how can I change default properties ("Dossier des
applications" in French maybe Applications dir in
advanced) wich is enabled in the window.I do not understand what you want to do. Explain again.

How do I make an Excel macro and Labview push to copy Labview calculated data into a cell on demand?

Hey there, I am a chemist so Labview and programming aren't exactly my strong point.
We have a Labview program that we run to control and automated valve manifold that has a thermocouple and pressure transducer that displays the temperature and pressure on the "front panel" of the labview file we run. The temperature and pressure of the manifold changes in real time while the labview is running. We must attach a sample to the manifold, take the pressure and temperature, then record those values in an excel spread sheet, one at a time.
What I would like to do is make a key board macro in excel to automatically type in the current read out of the temperature (and another for pressure) into which ever selected excel cell you are on, so that you don't have to switch back to the labview window to look at it. I have a very basic understanding of macros in VB but I don't know how to get the labview to make the read outs available for the excel macros to find it.
Thanks for the help, Here is a screen shot of the block layout of the program.

Why not have LV put the data in Excel for you? You can use Actvie X to do this. There is plenty of information on the forum and knowledge base on how to use Active X and reporting to Excel. Plus you have the example finder. Do you have the Report Generation Toolkit? LV7 is quite old, so I don't know if this is an option for you.

'Edit in Place' for XLSM-files (Excel Macro-Enabled)

Hi,
is it possible to activate 'Edit in Place' for xlsm-files (Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook file)?
For xls(x)-files there is the link 'Edit This File', but not for files of type 'xlsm' allthough they could be dealt the same way with Excel.
I know I can edit this files using the 'Add-in for MS Office' and via the 'Vibe Desktop', but it would be nice to deal them like other Excel-files.
thx

Hi Martin,
Yeah, the Vibe docs can help on occasion
