Exporting to Excel when subreports exist

Hi SAP,
I have a main report along with 2 subreports. When I export to Excel the rows and columns are all thrown off. One is on top of the other, etc. What can I do to export the records that will display exactly as they appear when viewing from Crystal?
Thanks in advance,
Z

I tried your recommendation and it didn't do much as far as correcting the export records. I was able to get the records aligned after shrinking each section in the subreports and main report. I also noticed that if a field overlaps with another field in the main report or within the subreports it causes the export to be disordered. Once I was able to align each field without having them overlap I was able to get the records to export normally.
Thanks for your recommendation nevertheless.

Why was formatting removed from Export to Excel when exporting from PWA 2013?

We have recently moved from using Project Server 2007 to Project Server 2013 and one thing that we have noticed is that when we Export to Excel all the formatting has been removed and all the task grouping and alignment has been flatted.
Why did Microsoft remove this feature from the Project Server 2013?
Is there an easy way for anywhere there is an Export to Excel option on the Ribbon to add the formatting back?
What is the best solution to still retain the indents, bolding, and grouping?

Jason --
I can confirm your findings with exporting PWA pages in Project Server 2013 to Excel. As to why Microsoft removed the feature previously found in Project Server 2007, I have no idea, as I do not work for Microsoft. I do not believe there is any
way to force the Export to Excel feature to work the same in 2013 as it did in 2007. I think it will be up to the user to format the exported Excel workbook as needed. Hope this helps.

ALV List export to Excel when program is run in background

Hello,
I am running into an issue with a custom ALV report which contains an export to Excel option on the input screen. However, when I attempt to run the report in background due to high volume of records/expected performance constraints, the job fails to produce a spool when the "export to Excel" option is selected. When I deselect that option, the background job successfully generates a spool, which I can then export to Excel (albeit the formatting will not look the same).
Is the above an accurate statement or does anyone know of a way where either;
1) The background job can create and store the Excel output into a cached directory?
2) The spool generated, when exported to Excel, can match the format of the foreground Excel output?
Thanks in advancce.

Problem exporting to excel when using embedded web templates through WAD

Using web templates designed with WAD, we are experiencing an issue when trying to export excel when using embedded web templates.
We have set up tabstrips within our templates that load other templates (embedded into the global template).
Upon right clicking on any query and choosing "Export to Excel", any query that is in one of the tabs using the embedded web template item does not show up. Any queries in natively in the global web template will export and show up fine.
Any thoughts on how to enable something like this, or workarounds to make this work? We decided to split up these templates for performance reasons and can't go back from that decision. Also let me know if you need a better explanation of what we're trying to do.
Thanks in advance!
Jonathan

Hi SDBI,
Is this in place of loading a new template per tab? We are using container layouts in all of our templates so we can link things into tabstrips as well, we have just split up some templates to be embedded into tabs for performance reasons and data locking.
Also when exporting, we are looking for all of the items displayed at that time to be exported, however only the items from the global template show up, not all of the displayed queries. For example, anything outside of the tabstrip will export perfectly, but since the query embedded into the template the tabstrip is loading is not part of the native web template, it does not show up.
Seems like a tool limitation to me when embedding templates?
Thanks,
Jon

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.

Title not getting exported to excel when i use ALV oops.

Hi Friends,
I have split the container and used cl_dd_document to display my Title data in TOP of page ( Container 1 ) and displayed my table data in the second container. I'm getting the output perfectly but when i try to export to the excel sheet, only table data ( i.e data in Container 2 ) is getting downloaded. i'm not able to bring the title ( Container 1 ) details in the excel while exporting . pls help. .
Note : I also want the title details to be displayed when i click on the print button.
I dont get this problem when i use REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE but in my senario i cant even use this FM as it doesn't supports more than 60 characters.

Since you have two different container for Header & ALV data, the buttons on ALV grid ONLY will only consider the data within itself.
To be able to download header and data both, you need to add additional buttons to either PF-status or ALV and write a code to do that.

Export to Excel is not working for List View Web Part after filtering using Query String parameters in SharePoint 2010

Hi,
I am filtering SharePoint list view web part based on Query string parameter and I am doing Export to Excel by using following code.
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:window.location='../_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List=0DC67399-BE11-48F3-ADFC-E911FB8B5845&View=54671412-3EFE-4281-835A-9EF747AE774E&CacheControl=1'"><img
alt="Excel" src="/_layouts/images/icxlsx.gif" border="0"/> Export to Excel</a>
Issue: Able to do Export to Excel when there are no filters applied on list view web part but if applied filters on web part and do export to excel , only header fields are displaying in the excel sheet.
I don't know why owssvr.dll is behaving like that .
Please share your ideas.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create hyperlink to export to excel.
The URL to execute the export is as follows:
{Site URL}/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List={List GUID}&View={View GUID}&CacheControl=1
After getting the GUID, you need to “decode” the list GUID.
Replace %7B with {
Replace %2D with –
Replace %7D with }

Filters and Export to Excel (BI 7 report in portal)

Hi all
We are seeing some interesting behaviour with the data being exported to excel.
The steps to create the problem are -
- run report
- filter to limit the data,
- "export to excel"
When checking data in excel - the full set of data (that is, prior to the filter being applied) has been transfered.
Could someone please confirm the following -
1. is this expected behaviour ?
2. are there any configuration items that need to be done to export only the filtered data as seen on the current report on the screen ?
3. any other suggestions ?!
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kindest regards
Karen

with your product version there are little options you have.
1. Upgrade to the latest SP and patch on XIR2 (SP6, fp6.4) and re-test
2. Upgrade to current product release.
3. figure out what has changed and how in the report and reverse those changes.

Problem in export to excel

Hello experts,
We have a WAD report having 2 (Bex 3.5) queries (say) Query A and Query B
we are using table inferface class to add the key figure of Query A with the key figure of Query B
and displaying the sum in the result area of Query B.
On executing this report we are getting the correct output.Since there are more than one data providers in the report
we are using a push button for 'Export to Excel'
When we export this report to excel using this push button the output of query B gets misaligned i.e.
col2 of query B displays result of column 4, column 4 displays result of col 7 and so on...
where are when i use the standard export to excel feature of context menu the output is correct.
Please suggest what may be reason behind this misalignment and what should we do to remove it.
Regards
Priyanka

Hello Experts,
Any updates on this issue ???

Why does Apple say that Numbers can open and save Excel files, when in actuality, it can only open .XLSX files and only Export to Excel (not save-as excel)?

When attempting to open .XLS files in Numbers, the format is not recognized. When the format is .XLSX, the format is recognized. Why is it this way? It's still much more common for folks to have the .XLS file format on their excel files. Why would Numbers not be backwards-compatible?
Additionally, to state in the benefits of this program that one can save to 'Excel' is a little misleading. You can't save to anything except .numbers. Sure, you can export to Excel (with file extension .XLS, I might add), but you can't save or save-as.
Does anyone else see the irony in being able to export to .XLS but not be able to open an .XLS?
There is something to be said for clarity.
You can't expect folks to have Numbers and Excel on their systems, so how else are they supposed to open .XLS files in Numbers?
And I don't need to see another advertisement for NeoOffice or OpenOffice here, thanks. I'd actually like Numbers to be a little more sensible.
That is all.

When the advertisements were written, there was no Lion so we were able to Save As Excel.
At thiqs time there is no longer Save As command under Lion but the feature is always available.
When your editing task is ended, you are free to use this scheme:
File > Duplicate
File > Save and in the dialog you will have the option save as Excel.
Numbers isn't and I hope that it will not become an Excel editor.
Its resources contain a flag defining it this way.
I posted several times a script editing this resource.
This morning I'm not in a mood allowing me to do your duty.

Exporting to Excel, subreport column alignment problem

Post Author: rmayer
CA Forum: Exporting
I have a Crystal Report (v10) that contains a subreport in the Details section. The subreport contains only a single field in its Details section and all other sections are suppressed. When I run the report and export to Excel, for each main report detail having multiple rows returned in its subreport, the first subreport row will display the field where it is expected, but for every subsequent row the field will be shifted one column to the right. What is even more peculiar is that if I preview the subreport data by itself and do the export, the fields do line up in the same Excel column.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Gayatry,
Did you try the following Export options?
1. Export Page Headers and Footers: On Each Page
2. Create Page Breaks for Each Page
When exported with these options the page Header and Footer section was exported as it was in the report.
Hope this helps you.

Shifting of Cells When Exporting To Excel

Post Author: Victoria
CA Forum: Exporting
I'm having a problem when an Address 1 and Address 2 field is involved in Crystal. If an Address 2 does not exist for the customer, the remainder of the fields for that record shift to the left. This causes a major clean-up issue when there are a large number of records involved. Is there a formula that I haven't thought of that might help me avoid this? Victoria

Post Author: V361
CA Forum: Exporting
Assuming the address 2 field is null, you could write a formula to detect the null and replace it with a group of spaces. I hope excel will see the spaces as valid.
if isnull () then " " else
If this doesn't work, are you exporting to excel, or excel data only ?

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
