Hi Sri, follow like this.
First Move that Excel Sheet Data to Internal Table Using Function Module ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE.
And you can insert that internal table data to Database Table Using INSERT Command.
First upload Data From Excel Sheet to ITAB with Required Structure. Once the Data Comes...
And Declare another Internal Table (ITAB1) Type Database Table name.
And Use Insert Database Table From ITAB1.
Check this Example.
TABLES:MARA.
DATA:BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
MATNR LIKE MARA-MATNR,
MBRSH LIKE MARA-MBRSH,
MTART LIKE MARA-MTART,
MEINS LIKE MARA-MEINS,
END OF ITAB.
DATA:ITAB1 LIKE MARA OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
START-OF-SELECTION.
ITAB-MATNR = '123ABCDA'. .
ITAB-MBRSH = 'C'.
ITAB-MTART = 'FERT' .
ITAB-MEINS = 'KG' .
APPEND ITAB.
ITAB-MATNR = '123ABCDB'. .
ITAB-MBRSH = 'C'.
ITAB-MTART = 'FERT' .
ITAB-MEINS = 'KG' .
APPEND ITAB.
LOOP AT ITAB.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING ITAB TO ITAB1.
APPEND ITAB1.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP AT ITAB1.
INSERT MARA FROM ITAB1.
MODIFY MARA .
ENDLOOP.
or,
By using type pools TRUXS our problem my be solve.
Take one internal table like your standard data base table and
one internal table for truxs like
DATA: it_raw TYPE truxs_t_text_data.
DATA: itab like mara occurs 0 with header line.
Use FM
CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP'
EXPORTING
I_FIELD_SEPERATOR =
i_line_header = 'X'
i_tab_raw_data = it_raw " WORK TABLE
i_filename = p_file
TABLES
i_tab_converted_data = it[] "ACTUAL DATA
EXCEPTIONS
conversion_failed = 1
OTHERS = 2.
Now looping that and updated to data base table.
hope this helps.
kindly reward if found helpful.
cheers,
Hema.
