Exporting to excel UI restarting

Hello am new to SAP and i was given a task same as this. I have changed the Macros settings, but the problem is everytime i have to refresh the browser to be able to export a large number of records from my worklist, without restarting the GUI it displays blank. Any idea why this is so, and how can i solve this problem?

This note is not in connection with my problem. I think i left out the beginning part...everytime i exported to excel it gave me a blank page, then i changed the macros settings (according to a one thread) and i was able to export. But now, when i change the max number to display after giving me the first results it does not export the second time, only after i restart the GUI then it exports the records to excel.

Hi Chetans,
I have had the same problem, and I had to create a OSS message to SAP in order to solve this issue, until now I don't have an answer. They made me to change a lot of configuration in Java and BW without luck. To tell you more, when we try to export to excel the java instance restarts aumotatically.
But we have this problem, when we try to export a huge quantity of data, so I found a note which says the limitation of exporting to excel. Take a special attention to the Performance section.
Note 1178857
[https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1178857|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1178857]
I recomend you that you create a message to SAP. If you find a solution, please let me know.

Export to excel-open first exported sheet

When exporting to excel, a user would always open the first exported sheet but since Microsoft Office 2003 was installed it no longer opens the sheet.
I also just had Microsoft Office 2003 installed, and I have the same problem. The "open the first exported sheet" box is ticked but the first sheet is still not opened.
I checked the security in Excel and it is "low".
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Export to excel formatting

I'm working on a quote report which has narrative sections as well as a table. I can get the report to look great in the application but it has formatting problems once exported to excel.
In one of my narrative reports I have a simple table with a few columns. Once exported to excel the first narrative column is the entire width of the report table below it. The large cell row is also merged cells in excel.
Is there anything that can be done to help force how the report goes into excel?
I have also tried creating the report in a narrative html table to export into excel.

Can someone explain if they face similar issues as I am when you export a report output on portal to Excel it takes huge size. I assume it because of all the color formatting etc. but is there a way to reduce this size. 3.5 Bex Analyzer same report takes only 3 MB while if I export it from portals it takes 32 MB.

Export to Excel Action in MS SSRS Report not exporting all data in Report

Hi,
I have developed a complex Report that has many expandable nodes in a table format. The report works fine.
However, when I export the Report to Excel using Actions --> export to Excel, only the data in expanded nodes is included. The data in collapsed nodes is not included.
I am looking for approach to include data in expanded nodes in Excel Export. The expanded data can be expanded in Excel.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Hi Abhijit PS,
Per my understanding you are experiencing the issue with the excel report which have add the drill down action, after export to excel only the expanded nodes included and the collapsed nodes is not shown, right?
Generally, if we expand the nodes before export to excel then the excel will display the expanded details row and keep collapsed the details row which haven't expand, but we have the toggle "+","-" on the left of the Excel to help
control the expand and collapse, when you click the "+" you can expand the collapsed notes to see the details rows.
I have tested on my local environment with different version of SSRS and can always see the "+","-" as below:
On the Top left corner you can find the "1","2", this help to control the "Collapse All" and "Expand All".
If you can't see the "+","-" in the excel, the issue can be caused by the Excel version you are currently using, and also excel have limit support of this, please provide us the Excel version information and the SSRS version. You
can reference to this similar thread:
lost collapsing columns when export to excel
Please try to export other drill down report to excel and check if they work fine, if they did, the issue can be caused by the drill down action you have added in this report is not correctly, if possible, please try to redesign the report.
Article below about how to add Expand/Collapse Action to an Item for your reference:

If your problem still exists, please feel free to ask

Exporting to Excel from Aria People Search

Is it possible to export to Excel from Aria People Search.
I would like to output the Org Chart (built in) and the Tree (I created) to an Excel file.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Tom

Hi,
If you are using 10g, then OLE2 is supported. However, it will be executed in the App Server Machine.
If you want to do the operation in the Client machine (as how it was done in the Client / Server), you need to use Client_OLE (Which is part of WebUtil).
Look at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/webutil.htm
for more details on WebUtil.

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?

Issue with export in Excel in WAD

Hi
I have an issue with export to excel in WAD. I have a web template with two or more tabs.
On the webtemplate I have two buttons to export to excel. One to export the content from the active tab and one button to export content in all tabs.
My problem is that when I export to excel it always add the current/active content twice. I've tried with both buttons and they work as expected except that they export one table to much (the active).
can anyone help / give a clue what to look for.
br,
John

Export to excel and others inactive in ALV GRID

Hi,
I am creating a report using the 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' FM and the export to excel fucntionality is inactive. There is no spreadsheet push button on the application toolbar and the List->Export sub menu items 'Word processing' 'spreadsheet' and 'local file ' are all inactive. I have tried to run the code on a different system and the export to excel functionality works there. I am considering creating a new GUI staus using the standard status contained in the function group of 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' but will like to know if this issues can be remedied e.g is it probably a basis issue or a configuration issue e.t.c.
Thanks
Andy.

Hi Max,
Checked the PF_STATUS_SET routine and there was code that deactivated all gui download function codes of the standard gui status if an authorisation check failed ( auth obj. S_GUI) but the function code for excel export is &XXL not &VEXCEL.
Thanks for the prompt reply max, much appreciated

Andy.

Running report with alv grid in background and exporting to excel

Hi Guys,
              I've created a report program that uses the alv grid. When I run the report in foreground, I can easily export it to excel. However, if I run it in background, then display the spooled report and try to export to excel, it does not put it in excel format (seems to go over as one big column rather than individual columns that are defined in the report). Is there a way to run it in background ,export to excel properly and i have to email also in Excel sheet format.?
Thanks,
Gopi.

In background u cannot do a download to excel. you can do is create CSV format file
or
write a report for output with tabs then call that report using
submit yXXXX exporting list to memory
           and return.
call function 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
    tables
      listobject = report_list
    exceptions
      not_found = 1
      others     = 2.
and send the report_list to email users

Header of ALV with space when exported to excel using Standard ALV

Hi,
I am Using Reuse alv grid display    to dispaly my report and it works fine and I am using the standard SAP application tool to export it to excel.
But for some of the header fields I am getting space in the excel sheet but there is no space while displaying through ALV.
I am using the following field catalog for the same.
wa_fieldcat-col_pos = 10.
wa_fieldcat-fieldname = 'SOLLWERT'.
wa_fieldcat-seltext_l = 'text-t10'.      "Target value (* this has no space here)
wa_fieldcat-outputlen = 32.
wa_fieldcat-colwidth_optimize = 'X'.
APPEND wa_fieldcat to it_fieldcat.
but there are still space for this Colomn when exported to excel if after optimizing the column.
kindly suggest what field needs to be passed to the field catalogoe to avoid spaces in excel for the header.
Thanks
Ritesh

hey all,
Thanks everyone for the reply.
I am using the foloowing field cat:
l_col_pos = l_col_pos + 1.
    wa_fieldcat-col_pos = l_col_pos.
    wa_fieldcat-outputlen = 32.
     wa_fieldcat-fieldname = 'SOLLWERT'.

I have also used wa_layout-colwidth_optimize = 'X'. but it doesnt wrk.
Please suggest

Export to Excel Issues

We just upgraded from Crystal 8.5 to Crystal 10. When we export to Excel, the formatting is terrible. We have close to 100 reports that we routinely export...some with 40,000 rows. To try to fix these once they're in Excel is out of the question.
In previous threads I've been reading about a "patch" that supposedly fixes this. Where can I download this?
Eric Hill

The way reports work and export changed significantly in CR 9. While there was a dll available to help move from CR 8.x to CR 9, that dll is no longer available. Not for CR 9, nor any other versions of CR. Instead, you will have to modify your reports as per the article [Crystal Reports Designer Version 10 Exporting to Microsoft Excel|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10d3ba69-951e-2b10-3093-e3cf287a57c9?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true].
No other work-arounds or options exist at this time.

I have a cross-tab report that I need to export to excel and keep the same formatting. When I export the report the first column is Part # the next is operation #. The report is grouped on Part number, but each part may have multi operation. When I look at the report in Crystal or as a PDF the part # is at the top then each operation is a seperate row that follows. When I export it to excel it works fine but instead of the part # appearing at the top then follow by each operation the part number ends up on the last operation in the list. How can I export this and keep the format the same? by the way I have tried both xls data only and xls 2007 options

Hello Experts,
I also tried to export the CR cross tab report in Excel Data only format.
Also I want to display Row label i.e. my Rows are different dates so I created a text field and named as Date & Time but when export it to Excel Data Only, the date time label appears 1 row above then rest of the columns. It works good while looking on InfoView but export messed it up.
Can you please suggest.

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.
