Export to excel with formatting was autowrapping text in a cell

Export to excel with formatting was autowrapping text in a cell without having to check the can grow option. When the can grow option is checked it does wrap the text however it spans multiple rows, which causes complications when trying to sort.
It worked in:
ProductVersion=10.0.0.533
ProductName=Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded
Doesnt work in:
Crystal Reports 10.0 Service Pack 6
After the upgrade the reports did not autowrap, b/c the "can grow" option was not checked. I believe this was fixed by "ADAPT00305137 Patch ID: 36479914
Description:
When users export to Excel 97-2000 with the page-based format, text fields are wrapped, even when the "can grow" feature in the
Designer is turned off." . After we turn the option to grow on it does wrap however it spans across multiple rows. So I guess my question is there a way for it not to span multiple rows when wrapping text?

I could be wrong, but I believe the export to excel option exports the database values, and the export to HTML exports the values seen in the sheets. If the database values are stored as seconds, the Excel will see them as seconds, and the data will have to be formatted properly in Excel.
I haven't toyed around with Excel exports that much, but it might be possible to set up a template or macro in excel that would have the proper formatting, and use it when opening the Disco export.

Export to Excel with Filter values

I have implemented Prakash Darji's Exporting tips.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/47fe4fef-0d01-0010-6f87-ed8ecb479123
But it very important for us to only allow the user to only export the data which is available on the table currently, basically export to excel WITH filters and not everything which is in the infoprovider.
does anyone have a way of achieveing this?
i was thinking of maybe somehow passing filter values in the PCD url
Something like this? would this work.....
pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex.QUERY=ZTESTQUERY&FILTER_IOBJNM=0CALDAY&FILTER_VALUE='01012009'&BI_COMMAND_1BI_COMMAND_TYPE=EXPORT&BI_COMMAND_1-EXPORT_FORMAT=XLS&BI_COMMAND_1-null=

Hi Apeksha,
you can achieve this requirement (unless I do not know the detailled requirement) perhaps by using this way of implementation:
1. Create a new template which contains an info_field which does a data binding to the variable values or the characteristic you want to display. Set the visibility of the top container to "hidden". Add a empty data provider to this template. However be aware that the name for the (empty) data provider must match the name of the data provider within the original template you want to print.
2. Open your original template and include the template you created in step 1 (Advanced: Web Templates and technical name of the web template created in step 2). Choose the appropriate location (above/below the analysis item).
3. Check the settings of your export command: do not set a special web item to be printed.
If you export the template within web the second template should be printed correctly displaying the variable settings chosen in step 2 for the info_field.
Brgds,
Marcel

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.? I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not cell content.

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.?
I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not the content, of the target cell(s).

Hi Tom,
Your LOOKUP formula will return a value that it finds in the "other" table. That value can be used in conditional highlighting rules. (Numbers 3 calls it conditional highlighting, not conditional formatting. Just to keep us awake, I guess, but it works the same).
Please explain what you are trying to do.

Ian.

Export Excel - with formatting

Dear Friends,
I am exporting the tableview data to the excel using the response->append_cdata function.
I want to export the data byusing formatting options.
For example, I want to export all mycolumn names in Bold letters, with background colors in the excel sheet....
If anybody have a clue on this please help...

Hi,
Excel has a binary format that is very difficult to produce in a "non-Microsoft" environment such as BSP.
There are several post about this kind of issues in the forum.
I think your best shot is to produce XML format for Excel but for this, you need :
Excel 2007
Excel 2003 + Compatibility Pack
on the client side.
Have a look at this page if you want to know about Office 2007 format

Export to excel with javascript/vbscript or with plsql(html table)

i have searched for a way to export data from OracleXe to excel without losing formatting .
So far i have found 2 possible relatively easy ways that i am still researching
(i do not include the ask tom sylk format way of exporting )
1 to export the query to a html table, while using stylesheets for formatting
(using microsoft specific styles)
2. use of javascript/vbscript to fill an array and write this array to excel with use
of visual basic for applications in excel.This also provides charting capabilities.
I am still researching this two ways, and have
encountered a few obstacles (help would be appreciated)
1 the first way:
a. create a button " export to excel"
b. create the following pl/sql procedure:
owa_util.mime_header('application/vnd.ms-excel');
owa_util.http_header_close;
HTP.PRINT('<html>');
HTP.PRINT('<head>');
HTP.PRINT('<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html">');
HTP.PRINT('<title>Title of the HTML File</title>');
HTP.PRINT('</head>');
HTP.PRINT('<body TEXT="#000000" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">');
HTP.PRINT('<h1>Heading in the HTML File</h1>');
HTP.PRINT('<p>Some text in the HTML file.');
HTP.PRINT('</body>');
HTP.PRINT('</html>');
htmldb_application.g_page_text_generated := true;
htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
c: run the procedure conditionally based on the button "export to excel"
the problem with this way is that using htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true; is not the ideal way, because it
stops further processing, but if i leave it out, the export doesn't happen.
To export to excel while retaining data formatting you have to use microsoft excel
specific styles(Seedocumentation on the microsoft site)
2.The second way:
a create a pl/sql procedure or sql query.
b use this query to fill a vbscript/javascript array with values
c write these values to excel with use of vba in excel :
the obstacle i encountered here was that i dont know how to export the result of a
query to a visual basic script or javascript array.

Using approach 1) works fine for me.
the problem with this way is that using htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
is not the ideal way, because it
stops further processing, but if i leave it out, the export doesn't happen. Why is this a problem?
I created the button to export the excel file on page 1 and created your pl/sql procedure on page 2 using an onload process.
Works fine.
Other approaches for exporting to excel are:

Template with tabs Export to excel with variable dataprovider

I have looked at examples in this forum of how others have used an "export to excel" button with a variable dataprovider but I cannot get these examples to work for my situation.
I have a web template with 2 tabs, 1 dataprovider on each. The template has an icon button for "export to excel". The code came from 0QUERY_TEMPLATE. The tabs require a JavaScript function which hides all items except for the one on the selected tab and sets the property for the selected tab. I got the code for this from the WEB API reference for BW 3.x.
I cannot get the button "export to excel" to export the selected (non-hidden) data provider. I need somehow to have a variable for dataprovider on the command to export.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kevin,
Try calling a javascript function (e.g. excel_export) when the export icon is clicked on.
Using the prop array find the tab that is not hidden and then use that index to build your export command. i.e. if tab1 is visible then pass dataprovider_1 to the excel download command.
Another method would be to place a hidden field on the form to store the dataprovider and then read that field in the javascript function. You would have to update this field when you switched between the tabs.
Cheers,
Kelly

Export to Excel with colored row

Hi,
I'm developing a alv report in web dynpro. The first requirement is to put traffic lights based on some criteria. This part has been done.
2nd requirement is to export this alv report into excel sheet. If traffic light of the row is 'RED' then in excel sheet it will be colored 'RED', if row is green excel sheet row will be 'GREEN' etc.
Thanks in advance for providing me solution of above problem I'm new to dynpro.
Thanks in advance,
Abhijit.

Hi ,
If you need cell formatting you must use the Excel XML format. Build a spreadsheet with the features you want and then choose save as XML from within Excel. Then look at the resulting file with a text editor to see how the XML format is built. This is what you need to duplicate in ABAP using Concatenations, the iXML library or XSLTs.
OR you can go through this link and check if it can help you:

Export to Excel is formatted differently since we upgraded to XI release 2

Hi,
For many of our reports were using the Crystal Reports that came embedded VisualStudio2002. Recently, some of our developers needed to upgrade their laptops to Crystal Reports XI release 2. This forced us to install the Crystal 11.5 redistributable on our web servers, so those developers would be able to run their new reports.
However, now we are noticing problems with the export-to-excel feature on some of our OLD reports. Even though we have not change/touched the OLD reports at all, the export to excel feature is acting differently. I strongly suspect it has something to do with the 11.5 redistributable I installed on the servers.
Specifically, these are the things we noticed missing on our old reports...
1. Previously, the export-to-excel would mimic the page breaks we setup in the rpt file. Now it does not. The page breaks seem random in the Excel export. If I export the report to PDF the page breaks seem fine (i.e. exactly how I set them up in the rpt file).
2. Previously, the page header section would repeat within every page of the Excel document (that is how we wanted it). Now it does not. The page header only shows up once, but then does not repeat anymore.
Previously, we did not have to set any of the format options in the report, and it worked fine. To try and resolve the problems I have now tried these settings (C#):
ExcelFormatOptions efo = new ExcelFormatOptions();
efo.ExportPageBreaksForEachPage =true;
efo.ExportPageHeadersAndFooters = ExportPageAreaKind.OnEachPage;
Those format changes did not help at all. Does anyone know how to get my page breaks back?
thanks, --Rick

Hi Rick,
The version of CR included in .NET 2002 was version 9. There have been a lot of changes done to our exporting dll's since then that cleaned up how CR exported. You won't be able to fix this using code, it is due to your objects in the page layout that is causing the changes.
There is a Document that the Report Design team has that is "Best Practices" when laying out reports for exporting so I am transferring this posting to the Report Design Forums to help you with "fixing up" your reports. If you still have issues when previewing/printing/exporting through your application they can transfer this post back.
Thank you

Export to excel - number format

Hi,
Our version is SAP ERP Central Component 5.0 and we have just pathed the system from SPS18 to SPS23.
However from that time has change the export to excel functionality. Now after you select List - Export - Spreadsheet you can select either Excel (in Mhtml format) or All available formats - here the same format as in the old version has option 'Microsoft Excel (In existing XXL format). However when the report is exported eg account numbers do not have the correct format. So you need to convert them first to the correct number format with function VALUE in Excel.
Can this be somehow fixed?
Thanks,
Honza

Hi,
Dots and commas is not the issue.
The issue is that eg doment numbers are in the format in which you cannot vlookup them with other files where document numbers are in number format. So you need first to convert them using excel function value(). And then they have the correct format.
I am 100% sure there was not the same problem before we installed the higher patch.

Matrix exporting to excel with empty columns, with page break option of "Between each instance of a group" selected.

I am working with Report Builder 3.0 I am using a matrix to produce grouped data on separate worksheets in excel.
The select is:
SELECT ID, Measurement, Value, [Date] FROM Measurements_Report. (please ignore the underscores they are just for formatting)
The contents of the Measurements_Report table:
ID__Measurement__Value__[Date]
1___Hot_________33_____10/1/2014
2___Hot_________44_____10/2/2014
3___Cold_________55_____10/2/2014
The matrix contains a single row group based on the field "measurement". The Measurement group has the page break option of "Between each instance of a group" selected.
There is a column group based on the field "Date".
When this is matrix is exported to excel on the first worksheet (Hot) there are three columns as shown below:
ID__10/1/2014____10/2/2014___10/2/1014
1___33
2_______________44
Notice the last column doesn't have a value.
On the second worksheet (Cold) there are also three columns as shown below:
ID__10/1/2014___10/2/2014___10/2/1014
3__________________________55
This time notice there is only one row and only a value in the last column.
I only want the columns with data for that worksheet to show up. How can I remove these empty/duplicate columns? Hopefully there is a simple fix. Thanks ahead of time.

With the following contents of the Measurements_Report table:
ID__Measurement__Value__[Date]
1___Hot_________33______10/1/2014
2___Hot_________43______10/1/2014
2___Hot_________44______10/2/2014
3___Cold________55______10/2/2014
Returns on the first tab (Hot):
ID__10/1/2014____10/1/2014____10/2/2014
1___33
2_________________43
2______________________________44
In the excel worksheet it contains a separate column for each date with a value. Thanks again!
Why is the same date repeating on multiple columns? Do you've the time part also returned from database?

ALV: Problem in exporting to excel with too many columns

Hi,
While exporting from ALV report to excel following issue was faced:
ALV report contains 81 columns out of which 67 columns are displayed properly but from 68th column onwards data is dispalyed on next row
I want all columns displayed on single row..
Any help will greatly appreciated..
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
I was browsing through these threads to find anwer for the same issue.
So thought of putting my analysis which helped me resolve my problem.
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.
Hopefully it will be helpful for you too.

Parveen

Export to excel loses formatting

I have a region whose source is a SQL query.
My SQL query contains function calls that return a value.
source of the region:
select nvl(GETSRHR(:P253_STARTDATE,:P253_ENDDATE),0) as "REQUESTS",
nvl(GETTBHR(:P253_STARTDATE,:P253_ENDDATE),0) as "BENEFITS",
nvl(GETTOTALHRS(:P253_STARTDATE,:P253_ENDDATE),0) as "TOTALS"
from dual
Report template chosen is: default vertical report look 1 (include null columns)
when I run the page the report looks as follows:
REQUESTS 20
BENEFITS 120
TOTALS 140
When I export this it looks like:
REQUESTS BENEFITS TOTALS
20 120 140
Why is the formatting lost when I export to Excel? am I missing a step somewhere?
thanks for the feedback

The CSV/Excel export always exports your data horizontally. Similar to what you would get if you were running this in SQL Plus. The vertical look report template only applies to the report when shown in your web page. The template selection has now affect on the structure of the CSV export. If you need to export your data in a different way, one way to implement this would be to write a PL/SQL region or process that stores the data in that format first, e.g. in another table or using HTML DB collections and then write a report that is based on that temporary storage.
