Export List to spreadhshet: force xls vs. .iqy and omit columns

Trying to make a list on sharepoint easily exported to Excel for my basic users. Actions > Export to spreadhseet forces it to an .iqy file which confounds my beginner users ;^) It also forces two columns at end called Item and Path I wish would just stay behind. Anyway to force it go as Excel and chose columns that come down? Seems odd that a MS product geared toward Ofgfice apps doesnt also have a less complex option to simply download as excell.

Hi a_gunslinger,
I am afraid there is no setting in SharePoint or Excel would help you to force to hide the two columns when Export to spreadsheet launched.
I have search the CodePlex, and seems there is no open-source project would fit for your needs.
Sorry for your inconveriecne.

Thanks and regards,

Hello Rajeshwar,
This is a duplicate thread. You have a thread with the same question.

Will SUBMIT report EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY work, when Run in Background?

You can use SUBMIT <report> EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY, and then Call the FM LIST_FROM_MEMORY to get the Data.
This works fine, when the Program is Run in Foreground. My question is, will it work when I Run the Program in Background? i.e. When I Run the Program in Background, will the SUBMIT Statement, Export the List to Memory? Because only then the FM LIST_FROM_MEMORY will get the Data.
Any alternate solution to meet the same requirement will be appreciated.

It works for me... my spool output looked like:

Submit ALV report in Background & exporting list to memory and return

Dear all,
I created one Z program (ZPROGRAM2).
Here i use SUBMIT ZPRORAM1_ALV exporting list to memory and return.
call function 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'.
call function 'TABLE_COMPRESS' .
ZPRORAM1_ALV output i send mail.
This all are working in foreground.
If i schedule ZPROGRAM2 in background. that SUBMIT ZPRORAM1_ALV statement not working.
Please give me the Solution.
Thanks,
Durai.V

It is because of the ALV output that you are using. Check the condition sy-batch = 'X' (background processing) and then display a classical report. It will work then.
Thanks,
Jayant

Submit program exporting list to memory and return in background

Dear Experts,
I am using the following code in one of my program to get opening and closing stock of a material.
SUBMIT RM07MLBD
         WITH MATNR IN LOC_R_MATNR
         WITH WERKS IN LOC_R_WERKS
         WITH DATUM IN LOC_R_DATE
         WITH PA_SUMFL = WL_X
         AND RETURN
         EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY.
The program is working fine when executed in foreground. however when executed in background the job is cancelled. I tried to debug in background through SM50 and found that the program is terminated(No short dump but debug screen is closed and i dont see this program running in SM50) when the above code is executed.
I found in the forum that when an ALV report is submitted in background it does not work. In my case the standard program is producing an ALV list (not ALV grid though).
How would i avoid this situation because the program i am submitting is a standard program.
What is the best solution to avoid from background jobs being cancelled when the above code is executed. Is there an alternate way that i can use to submit the program and get data.
Thanks in advance.
Rajesh.

Hi Rajesh,
Just excute your standard program with the same input in back ground mode and check
out put is coming or not .
If output is not coming search by sy-batch and make the break points there and Ideantify
the problem.
When you execute the standard program in back ground mode If the output is come it should in your Zreport also.
I tried in my system in background mode also the output is coming for me.
Thnx,
Sam.

Exporting list of tables to text files?

Anyone have solution for exporting list of SQL tables to text files?
My goal is to have a flexible/dynamic way to export sql tables to text files that is executed via a sql job. I plan on having a configuration table that has sqltablename, fieldstoexclude (maybe fieldstoinclude - not decided), path, filename, includeheader,
delimiter. So the SSIS package will query the configuration table and that will be the loop. One text file for each configuraton.tablename row.
Does anyone have an already built solution that they can share? I have seen some with vb script and am not opposed, but would like to have a strictly SSIS package that uses SQL queries for the solution.

Try using this as your query (Remember to set the database you want to use first:
DECLARE @tableBuilder TABLE (dSQL VARCHAR(MAX))
DECLARE @tableString VARCHAR(100), @newTableString VARCHAR(100), @columnString VARCHAR(MAX), @dSQL VARCHAR(MAX) = ''
DECLARE tableBuilder CURSOR FOR
SELECT
'CREATE TABLE '+d.name+'.'+t.name ,
c.name + ' ' +
CASE
WHEN st.NAME IN ('float','image','text','uniqueidentifier','date','time','datetime2','datetimeoffset','tinyint','smallint','int','smalldatetime','real','money','datetime','smallmoney','bigint','bit','hierarchyid','timestamp','xml','geometry','geography','sql_variant','sysname') THEN st.name
WHEN st.name IN ('decimal','numeric') THEN st.name + '(' + CONVERT(VARCHAR,c.precision) + ',' + CONVERT(VARCHAR,c.scale) + ')'
WHEN st.name IN ('nvarchar','nchar','char','varbinary','varchar','binary','ntext') THEN st.name + '(' + CONVERT(VARCHAR,c.max_length) +')'
END + ','+ char(13)+CHAR(10)
FROM sys.tables t
LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.extended_properties ep
ON t.object_id = ep.major_ID
AND ep.name = 'microsoft_database_tools_support'
INNER JOIN sys.columns c
ON t.object_id = c.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.systypes st
ON c.system_type_id = st.xtype
INNER JOIN sys.databases d
ON DB_ID() = d.database_id
WHERE ep.name IS NULL AND is_ms_shipped = 0
ORDER BY t.name, c.column_id
OPEN tableBuilder
FETCH tableBuilder INTO @tableString, @columnString
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS <> -1
BEGIN
IF @tableString <> @newTableString
BEGIN
SET @dSQL = @newTableString + char(13)+CHAR(10) + ' (' + char(13)+CHAR(10) +LEFT(@dSQL,LEN(@dSQL)-3) + char(13)+CHAR(10) + ' )'
INSERT INTO @tableBuilder ( dSQL ) VALUES (@dSQL)
SET @dSQL = ''
END
SET @dSQL = @dSQL + ' ' + @columnString
SET @newTableString = @tableString
FETCH tableBuilder INTO @tableString, @columnString
END
CLOSE tableBuilder
DEALLOCATE tableBuilder
SELECT * FROM @tableBuilder
Export the results of that as you like.

Need help in Exporting list to memory and return in background

Exporting list to excel..order changes?

hello. thanks for the time and effort.
i'm a SharePoint 2013 noob. so forgive the simple question. we moved a team site from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 and now a user is complaining that when they export to excel the list they see in IE the order gets changed around when it is exported
to Excel. They said it worked in SP 2010 where the list they saw on the team site was exported in the same order to Excel. It's an odd question that I wouldn't know where to start to look. Thanks again.
Also i did see that it cannot be exported when you open the site in Chrome due to ActiveX controls.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to exporting list to excel. However, the orders were changed.
I recommend to create a page and add a Data View Web part using SPD on the page and then use SharePoint list as a Data source and add all items into the web part.
Then from Data view web part exported data to excel.
In addition, I recommend to modify view to remove the content type column.
Here are two similar blogs for your reference:
Question sequence is disordered when we export a survey list to excel
SharePoint 2010 Export to Excel 2010 Fails to Export All Fields in Some Views
The list cannot be exported when you open the site in Chrome due to ActiveX controls.
An ActiveX control is used in SharePoint 2013 to validate if you have Excel installed or not. You can try it out with Chrome on Windows -- it will fail.
Take a look at these ActiveX controls in use with SharePoint 2013:

How to move users between OU's from an exported list

Hey Guys
New to Powershell
We are going to move large number of users from one OU to another.. For that I am using
get-aduser -filter * -searchbase "OU=ou1,DC=domain" | move-adobject -targetpath "OU=ou2,DC=domain"
As a backout plan we want to reverse that.. so what I am thinking is to right click on the OU1 and export list as txt. So we have all users in a tab/csv format with username.. How can I then write a one liner / script to search for all the users in the list
in AD (or in specific OU2 in AD) and then move them to another OU (or OU1 as above example)?
Or if there is a better quicker method please let me know.
Cheers

Hi,
Here's something to start with:
$targetOU = 'OU=Test 2,DC=domain,DC=com'
Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase 'OU=Test 1,DC=domain,DC=com' | ForEach {
$props = @{
Name = $_.Name
Username = $_.SamAccountName
OriginalOU = ($_.DistinguishedName -split ',OU=' -split ',')[1]
NewOU = ''
Status = ''
try {
Move-ADObject -Identity $_.DistinguishedName -TargetPath $targetOU -ErrorAction Stop
$props.NewOU = ($targetOU -split ',' -replace 'OU=','')[0]
$props.Status = 'Success'
} catch {
$props.Status = 'FAILED'
New-Object PsObject -Property $props
} | Sort Name | Select Name,Username,OriginalOU,NewOU,Status | Export-Csv .\userMoveDetails.csv -NoTypeInformation
Don't retire TechNet! -
(Don't give up yet - 12,950+ strong and growing)
Sorry new to coding.. but this looks awefully complicated for my situation.. Won't the code which I have said simple move users from one container to another existing one? Just need to know how to do the reverse if needed .. OU2 will already have users..
so need to differentiate and was thinking the right click on OU1 and export list.
Thanks

Export list object to XXL

All,
I have a user that we gave a new laptop to and the spreadsheet button in t-code KSB1 will no longer let him export list object to XXL. He is on GUI 7.10 and Office 2003. I have checked the settings for Marcos in Excel and set them to allow all macros along with Visual Basic. What setting am I missing?
Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,
You could also try the following:
1. run TCode SA38
2. run ABAP-Programm SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN
3. mark Detail-Selektion
4. put a client and user
5. run
6. mark a row for the user
7. delete with F7-key (or button)
Then again the choice would have to appear for the XXL Format when exporting to Excel.
Regards,
ScriptMan

Exporting list of missing or dead links from iTunes

If you have more than 500 songs in iTunes, sooner or later, you will end up with missing, broken or dead links.
Unlike some who address this issue, I genuinely have missing songs, so wish to export a list so I can then re-import them.
Itunes dupes barrier will create a list of “dead” tracks, but I cannot export it.
I don’t want to remove the broken links until I have decided if I still want the songs or not.
Any ideas?

Timothy Holt wrote:

Nearly 10,000 tracks in my iTunes library and I have NEVER had that issue. Perhaps your statement should be something like, if you start messing around with your folders and files and moving them around, renaming them, etc. outside of iTunes without knowing what you are doing, then you will end up with dead links and missing files. That would probably be more accurate.
Itunes dupes barrier will create a list of “dead” tracks, but I cannot export it.
"Itunes dupes barrier" ??? I assume you mean the Show Duplicates function? If so, then when you get that list, all you have to do is a Select All then open your favorite spreadsheet and paste the list in. Everything will line up in nice columns and rows. You can paste into a word processor or text edited as well, but it may be a bit jumbled in the formatting.
Cheers,
Patrick

LR 3 Exports listed in History

I see that in LR 3, export actions are now listed in the Development History of a photo.
I don't consider exporting to be a change to an image and I don't want my history cluttered up with export activities.
Is there a way of turning this feature (write exports to history) off?

I don't forget it because it is essential for my workflow
You do... makes it harder when the client is satiesfied with the version you provided. VC seems more logical to me.
export: each pic a few times a year. And I do export a lot of pics for use in websites etc. So it does clutter that already not that fast database.

"EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY" doesn't work

Hi experts!
In my program I need to update a vew deliveries using transaction VT04 and get from log numbers of updated deliveries. My code is:
SUBMIT RV56TRGN USING SELECTION-SET 'VAN SALE/VT04'
EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY AND RETURN.
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
TABLES
listobject = list_tab
EXCEPTIONS
not_found = 1
OTHERS = 2.
I get error:
"Set screen is not allowed in subscreens"
But when I run code:
SUBMIT RV56TRGN USING SELECTION-SET 'VAN SALE/VT04' AND RETURN.
It runs OK.
Where may be the problem?
