Export icons in ALV to Excel

Hi Guys,
I have created a report in ALV for ABAP Dynpro. I have two columns in which i am displaying icons. But
when the user exports it to excel or PDF, these icons are not getting copied. Is there any work around,
where i can get them downloaded or any other approach that can be used for the purpose.
Regards,
Sagar

Thank you for your answer.
The thing is that it works well if I choose the format "Excel (in MHTML format)"u2026
The icons have a meaning: they indicate either the employee attended the course or not and either he passed the course or not.
So, if it can not work with icon I would like to replace them by "yes" or "no" when the export is done. Is that possible?

Download ICONS from ALV to EXCEL

Dear Friends,
IS there a way of downloading the ICON image exactly

the icon column in the excel.
kind regards

Hi Jeff,
Please check if following analysis is helpful to you.
Analysis/Solution:
When we export ALV data to excel worksheet, as sap notes say the maximum lenght allowed is 1023 charaters and the max no of columns supported is 90.
(I never faced any issue related to no of columns as it worked fine for columns >90 too)
Issue occured when row size of exported data gets more than 1023 character.
Therefore the row data must not exceed 1023 character, otherwise column splits and moves to next row.
One additional aspect generally missed is that:
When data in any particular column changes it's length, alv header also changes its lengh (short text, medium text, long text; depending on the length of of the longest cell in the column)
therefore even if you have total length of row less than 1023 character, there might be cases when your ALV header size exceeds this length.
Reducing the header size (by forcing to use short text or specifying own header names) should resolve the issue.

Reg : export data from ALV to excel file

Hi All,
I am using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY to display the output. I have total 73 columns getting displayed in output but when i export the data to the excel file using (ctrlshiftF9) I am getting only first 43 columns in the first row and from 44th column on wards the data is populated in the 1st column of second row.
Please let me know is there any particular setting by which I can get all the 73 columns in a single row.
Thanks in advance.
VIJAY

Hi vijay,
You can try setting your line width to 255 in your abap program.
Otherwise, you can try an alternative:
1. Put a customize button on the ALV toolbar.
2. Go to se41 to create th buttons
2. do i_callback_program in ALV function. or SET PF_STATUS
3. Then in sy-ucomm, use 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' to xls.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks

Exporting data from ALV to Excel...

Hi All,
I am trying to export report to Excel with ALV Excel option on status bar, it works fine for 3 months data with 80 columns in the report. But when I run the report for one year data then report displays data fine in R/3 but when I download to Excel it's empty. The eroor is Dataset can't be processed by Excel.
Then I tried with option Download ->Local file->spreadsheet. which doesn't save headers in it. And colums coming in two lines But user wants all columns with header if i do with this option it's not pulling headers.
Please let me know if anybody had the same issue and came up with solution. That would be really great!
Thank you.

Hi Satya,
Thanks for your reply.
There will be around 60,000 records in the report with 80 to 100 columns. ALV report looks fine in R/3 but while downloading to Excel only it's saying ' Dataset can't be complete'. For 3,000 to 4,000 records it works fine.
Is this because of huge data?

REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY (column headings from ALV to EXCEL) Max please help

Hi Max,
If you remember in one of my last post I asked for changing the column headings in ALV display for example from 'Material' to 'Material used'.
I am using
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
 EXPORTING
 I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = repid
 IT_FIELDCAT = field_body
 I_SAVE = g_save
 IS_VARIANT = g_variant
 IT_EVENTS = events
 TABLES
 T_OUTTAB = itab.
And you suggested me the following way....
loop at field_body into field_wa.
case field_wa-fieldname.
when 'Material'.
 field_wa-seltext_l = 'Material used'.
 field_wa-seltext_m = 'Material used'.
 field_wa-seltext_s = 'Material used'.
endcase.
modify field_body from field_wa.
endloop.
It is working well. In ALV display the column heading is changed to what I wanted. But the question is when I export the displayed ALV to Excel using ALV functionality, Export->Spreadsheet... I see that I dont get the Column Heading into Excel as it was in the ALV display.
I get in the Excel as 'Material u' or 'Mat. Used'. But when I add this line in the code.....
when 'Material'.
 field_wa-seltext_l = 'Material used'.
 field_wa-seltext_m = 'Material used'.
 field_wa-seltext_s = 'Material used'.
 field_wa-outputlen = 20.
Then I see that I get the complete heading in the Excel. But this way the columns with outputlen 20 are taking much space in ALV display.
Is there any fix for this. May be not mentioning the outputlen but still get the column headings into Excel as it was in ALV display.
Anyone with ideas please respond. Waiting for replies. Thanks

Hi
The labels have a fixed size:
seltext_l is long text: 20 char
seltext_m is medium text: 15 char
seltext_s is short text: 10 char
The text 'Material used' is long 13 char so you should write:
field_wa-seltext_l = 'Material used'.
field_wa-seltext_m = 'Material used'.
field_wa-seltext_s = 'Mat. used'.
You can try to set the field colwidth_optimize of parameter IT_LAYOUT.
This field should optimize the width of the colunm
So
data layout type SLIS_LAYOUT_ALV.
layout-colwidth_optimize = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
EXPORTING
I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = repid
IT_LAYOUT = layout
IT_FIELDCAT = field_body
I_SAVE = g_save
IS_VARIANT = g_variant
IT_EVENTS = events
TABLES
T_OUTTAB = itab.
and you can decide which label has to be used:
field_wa-seltext_l = 'Material used'.
field_wa-seltext_m = 'Material used'.
field_wa-seltext_s = 'Mat. used'.
If you want to set the short text
field_wa-ddictxt = 'S'.
...medium
field_wa-ddictxt = 'M'.
...long
field_wa-ddictxt = 'L'.

Export from ALV to Excel - problem with numeric values

hi folks,
when exporting from alv to excel and we have negative values (and using an u.s.a. setting where . and , are different to r/3) negetive values are not shown correctly in excel.
when changing in win nt the regional settings to europe one's (e.g. germany) everything works fine.
any hints welcome,

I guess this has something to do with the excel settings. In the control panel you have regional settings.try some options there. It might work.

ECC6: export ALV to 'Excel (in MHTML format)

We have just upgraded to ECC6. When I try to export ALV to 'Excel (in MHTML format) I get a runtime error (GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED). My list has 2 quantity fields. Tracing the error in the dump, i notice there is failure when processing quantity fields when the following SAP Standard method is called.
 >173 when if_salv_bs_c_data=>reffieldtype_quan.
 >174 *... get iso value for quantity value
 > call method cl_alv_xslt_transform=>get_isonum_from_intnum

 >178 i_unit = <l_reference>
 >179 i_decimals = ls_attribute-s_dfies-decimals
 >180 importing
 >181 e_value = l_isovalue.
I have tried a few tricks with the FIELDCATALOG function without success. Does anyone know how I can overcome this.
Regards.

Hi.
The quantity fields are coming from a table structure. I have tried making then character in the fieldcatalogue function but the runtime error was not eliminated.

Dump when exporting an ALV to excel at Portal

Hi there,
I am getting a dump ( Exception condition "CNTL_ERROR" raised) when exporting an ALV to an excel document.
I've done the following:
 1 - Create an ALV report at SAP R3 (with option export to excel);
 2 - Create a SAP transaction iview to show the ALV report at portal;
 3 - At portal, I am trying to export the ALV to excel.
Isn't this correct?
How can I get throught this problem. I really need to export this ALV to excel.
Thanks and best regards,
Vasco Brandã

Hi,
if it should not dump then it_output_alv-gehalt_eff this should be of type C. is it type char.
and can you show the fieldcat of the field gehalt_eff, that might causing the problem. though you changed the type.

Download data from ALV to excel issue

Hi All,
Could you please tell me if there has any restriction on ALV grid data download to excel? I've a report contains 68 columns and about 500 rows, I want to download the data using the standard menu list->export->save to local file. but after I download them, I found the first 65 columns display in one line and the rest columns display in next line, just like ALV do not allow too many characters in one row and have to switch to new line. I can hide some columns but it's very strange that even after i hide 3 columns to fit the 500 rows download, then if the rows increase, the same problem occurs.
I searched the forum and in the thread Re: Export ALV in EXCEL Issue Mr. Suvajit provided a solution by using menu List->export->spreadsheet, it looks very good. But I still want to know how this happen and is there a standard way to download data with more than 65 columns to local file with extension .xls so that user can open it directly?
PS: I'm using FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY and the SAP version is SAP ECC6 with kernal package SAPKB70103.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Jeff

Hi,
You can also try in this way
in the output screen
click List (in app tool bar) -> Export -> Spreadsheet
and save at your desired location.
(It will be save in .mhtml format , just rightclick on it and you can open it with excel )
Then you will be able to view in your required format.
