Export to excel with maximum 65536 rows

Hi
My reports are desinged with CR 8.5 report designer. I have some history reports that's large. When I export them to excel 2000 or 2003. It cuts off at row 65536. I did some research and it seems to me that is the max rows for excel 2003 and lower versions. I have 2007 too and it has max rows over a million now. Is there any thing I can do to make it export all my reports?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Mary

Hi Mary,
As you discovered pre-Excel 2003 has a physical limit of 65K rows. If you updated the exporting patches for CR 8.5 you should see the new Excel export options and what it should now do is create a new sheet for rows over 65K, but that may have been added in a later version of CR. Only other option is to export to CSV and then import to Excel as suggested.
Thank you
Don

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

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?

Gui_Download export to excel delivering only one row in excel output

Hello,
I am using Vista Os with the SAP front end logon 710 and Office 2007. Also my company is using Ecc6.0 in the server.
I am able to export the Itab data to excel but all the rows are on the first row in Excel.
If i have 3 rows in ITAB then all the 3 rows are on the First row of Excel
I have supplied these parameters
filename = 'C:\ITAB2XLS.xls'
FILETYPE = 'ASC'
WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'
SHOW_TRANSFER_STATUS = 'X'
tables
data_tab = itab[]
FIELDNAMES = headingTab[]
Is anyone having the same issue like me ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I tried commenting the Field seperator but it didnt change anything. I am still having the same problem.
I am pasting my code sample.
data:begin of itab occurs 0,
grp type c,
val type i,
end of itab.
data:begin of headingTab occurs 0,
TEXT(10) type c,
end of headingTab.
itab-grp = 'A'.
itab-val = 100.
append itab.
itab-grp = 'B'.
itab-val = 200.
append itab.
headingTab-text = 'GROUP'.
append headingTab.
headingTab-text = 'VALUE'.
append headingTab.
call function 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
exporting
filename = 'C:\ITAB2XLS.xls'
FILETYPE = 'DAT'
WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'
SHOW_TRANSFER_STATUS = 'X'
tables
data_tab = itab[]
FIELDNAMES = headingTab[]
I think there is some problem with the Vista / Office 2007 with SAP.
Any suggestions?

Export in excel without displaying all rows

Hello,
I use OBIEE version 10.1.3.4.1.
I have a report in "table view" with thousands of rows.
I would like to export a report to Excel, without displaying the data. Is possible to set the execution as an export in Excel?
Alternatively I enabled the "Page Control" by 50 "row per page." Is possible to export to excel all the row of the report without to see them all?
Thanks
Sara
Edited by: Sara C. on 25-gen-2010 6.23

Hi Sara,
you have 2 options:
1. use ibots to deliver your report in the form of an excel. This would avoid the generation of report.
2. Use "download to excel" option. This option downloads the entire content and NOT the ones displayed on the screen.
Hope this helps.
cheers,

Export to excel. Subreport blank rows generated.

Dear Forum
Hoping you can help with a query.
I have a report that has 3 subreports all are supressed if blank and not shown during preview or print.
When i try and export the report to excel the returning result is a series of blank rows in excel.
I know the subreports are the root cause of the issue as when each of them is supressed my blank row count reduces accordingly.
Is this a know issue or is there indeed a resolution.
Thank you forum for your assisatnce as ever
With Kind Regards
Paul Marks

Hi Paul,
Sorry to be a downer but It has been my experience that the more complex a report is the more problems I have when exporting especially to excel.
Below is a link to the export limitations of Crystal 10...I haven't found a newer version for XI or 2008. This document doesn't give an exact explanation for each limitation but sometimes it's enough to know that there is an issue related to exporting your report. In your case there are limitations related to exporting suppressed items to an excel spreadsheet.
[Crystal Reports 10 - Export Limitations|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/d0b01060-3a62-2b10-73a1-d03a6c634914]
I don't know how much data you have but my suggestion is to try exporting your report to a csv file instead because suppression is not as much a problem when exporting to that format. CSV files can be opened directly by Excel you are just missing any nice formatting.
If you need a nicely formatted spreadsheet, create a standalone spreadsheet formatted the way you want and either paste in the data from your exported Crystal report or link to the data in the csv file. I have found this type of conversion takes a little longer to set up but is much easier to maintain.
If you do decide to export to csv format i must also suggest that the report be formatted for export (this also helps with data dumps to excel):
1. Start rows of data at the left most margin and align any subsequent rows with this position.
2. Make sure the next column (to the right) always starts where the last column ends. This ensures no blank columns get inserted between your data. Subsequent rows should have columns aligned in size and count to ensure proper layout.
3. Make sure all objects in a row have the exact same height and use the "fit to section" command to prevent extra rows from being generated.
4. Suppress all sections that do not contain any objects needed in your export.
5. If your data isn't too wide (less than 256 bytes but it can be more if the printer driver used can print at a high dpi setting) consider using a formula to create each row of data i.e. properly padded for space delimited or with the commas where you want them for csv etc). This also gives you more control on how each data type is formatted.
Sorry to be so long winded but I hope this helps with your exporting.

Underlay row not exported to excel to a single row

Happy New Year to all,
I have an underlay function in Details a section. I also have Details b thru Details z sections. When using the underlay feature in Details a, it lines up beautifully with Details b row. However, when I export to excel data only, Details a appears on its own row above Details b. What can I do to have the underlay row, Details a export alongside Details b in the same row?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Zack H.

Hi zack
Iam not giving yout he straight forward solution. but here are my inputs,
1. please check exportingto PDF? if it is fine, then we have to align the report in such a way that export to excel will bring desired result. ioe we have to design, Keeping the result in mind.
Because, the technique used to export to oexcel is line by line scanning method here as to PDF it is snap shot kind of.
Best regards

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 formulas

I have a requirement to produce reports that can be exported to Excel along with cell calculation formulas. The cell formulas will do the same calculations as done in the report. The reports will be created in our company using Oracle Reports, then exported to Excel for use by our customer. This is a government requirement (who else!) to allow them to do "what if" scenarios with the reported data. Is there any way to populate Excel worksheet cells with formulas as well as data? The reports will vary in length and content depending on user selections so I can't take a "one size fits all" approach.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Can't you use the same library to do that? Apache POI for instance has formula support

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:

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.
Regards,
Parveen
