How to download report output to excel file??

Hi all,
I have a problem with downloading a report output to an excel file? May i know is there any functions or methods to do it?
My situation is like this. I used Write function to print out the report. After user click on the execute button. The report output will show to the user in a table format. And there is one button 'Save To Excel' in the report output dipslay screen for user to click to save it into excel format.
Appreciate if you could help.
Thanks.
Regards,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,
You can use FM GUI_DOWNLOAD for transferring the data from your report program into excel sheet.
And while saving give the filename extension as .xls.
Reward if helpful.
With regards,
Syed

How to export report output into excel file

hi friends,
i would like to get the solution from you for how to export the report output into a .xls file. i know how to convert it into .rtf and .txt files but i think it's difficult to do this .xls way, could you help me to comeover this problem?
thankyou very much.

The official answer is "delimited", which
generates adequate comma or other delimited
text. No formatting, and without extra
effort no support for non-ASCII characters.
Might be sufficient for you.
Note that Excel can read html files - we
built programs to generate html files with
name of "blah.xls" and some Excel-ish
extensions, so Excel is automatically opened
and the document is all nice and pretty.
(Oracle html output has some odd logic about
choosing number of columns, we didn't use
it.)

Hi,
This is more a question for the BSP forum.
Anyway, as such it's realy easy since you can use HTML in order to import to Excel. All you need to do is add
runtime->server->response->set_header_field( name = 'Contnet-Type'
value = 'application/vnd.ms-excel' ).
runtime->server->response->delete_header_field( name = 'Cache-Control' ).
runtime->server->response->delete_header_field( name = 'Expires' ).
runtime->server->response->delete_header_field( name = 'Pragma' ).

Report output on excell file

Hi,
I am running a report as
desformat=spreadsheet destype=file desname=c:\ssss.xls
now after getting the message "SUCCESSFULLY RUN" this file is generating in server's c: drive, is there anyway to save it on the local PC from where the report is being run? or to open the .xls file just after running the report?
Thanks
I have got the solution.
Thanks
Edited by: Suman... on Mar 6, 2012 3:01 AM

Run report with destype=cache and mimetype=application/vnd.ms-excel. Now your report output will open in MS Excel. Then you can save the output.

ALV report output to excel file, zip it and send to email

my requirement is to run a report then the result will be sent to email. Attachment is an excel file that is zipped since file size is about 25MB
I've search several forums and found a sap template in sending email with excel file attachment, it is BCS_EXAMPLE_7
but it should be zipped, what i found is this CL_ABAP_ZIP, but with my understanding, the file needs to be in PDF format to be able to zip
has anyone had the same requirement before?
Would be thankful to your input guys, thanks!

any ideas guys?

How to download internal structure in Excel file ?

Hi,
In a ABAP 4.7 program, we need to download internal table/structures in a excel file. Automatically (as manually with breakpoint and Excel export button),
The SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT doesn't work (empty file) certainly cause non STANDARD TABLE used.
There is various internal tables/structures, see one below
TYPES:
BEGIN OF gty_rup,
    kunnr                   LIKE           bsid-kunnr,

    zzsea                   LIKE           bseg-zzsea,
END OF gty_rup_tiers.

Does someone know function working with only the table/structure name as parameter ?
Thanks
Herve

here's what I did....I opened the xfile2.txt with Excel 2007 and stepped through the import wizard as a tab-delimited file. You're quite right it seems about the XLS function module.... I couldn't get a file downloaded that I could open with that thing. So I dropped it and just did the following:

Save ALV report output as excel file in background

Hi all,
As the no. of records is huge and the running time is long, I'd like to modify my program to be able to run in background mode with excel as output..
Is there any method to generate the result list in ALV format and save it as an excel file while running the program in background mode?
And any limitation?
Thanks!

Try to create ALV output to spool in background then try to use any of the below mentioned fm

Please note that this example maybe slow at filling the excel table
(perhaps four fields per second on a 900 MHz machine - almost 30 seconds
for a short example).
To get the data on properties and methods - there is a bit of smoke and mirrors
going on here; they are EXCEL properties and methods, not sap ones - so you need
to look at excel help to determine how a particular function is structured. then
build the block in sap, as shown in the example.
If you only want to transfer the data to Excel like when you transfer the data from
ALV to Excel simply use the Function Modules:
XXL_SIMPLE_API
If you want more modifications when you transfer it to Excel use:
XXL_FULL_API
Hope this helps.

How to Schedule Report Output in EXCEL (.cvs) format for Planning 11.1.2.1

Hi all,
I'm using Planning 11.1.2.1 for entering data and generating reports manually via Workspace. I wanna set up an automation process with a batch scheduler.
I've gone over the documentation. I've read about creating batches first then scheduling batches next.
However, the biggest issue I have is that I want to extract all my reports into EXCEL Spreadsheet (.cvs) format and according to the docs, it only supports output in PDF or HTML for 11.1.2.1.
Is this true? Is there a way to work around this by using Business Rules at command prompt?
Thanks,
N

If you have the Financial Report open there are two options:
- in the bottom right hand corner of the report click the link: "Export In Query ready Mode"
(this opens the report so you can use it as an Excel retrieve)
- from the Hyperion menu, select File>Export>Excel
(this exports the headers as objects and the data grid, so you can manipulate in Excel).
Cheers, Iain

How to download a text, bat, excel file from a page

Hi All,
I have written a jsp code that will list all the present in a particular folder. Those are displayed as links and on click, I want to download the file (pop-up message with the option to open or save it)...
But this is working properly for files like .exe, .pdf, .so etc. But when I am trying to download a .txt, .dat, .xls or .jpg (even .bat or .zip) files, it's getting opened in the same browser (files like .doc, .xls or .zip are opening in unreadable format). Even if, I right click on the link and click on 'Save Target As...', the file is getting saved as .html format.
I am attaching the jsp code:
<%@ page import = "java.io.File"%>
<h3><u>Right-click on the link and select 'Save Target As...' to download</u></h3>
<%
     String directory = "C:/My Drive/my_context/my testings/file upload 2/files/";
     File file = new File(directory);
     File[] content = file.listFiles();
     for (int i=0; i<content.length; i++)
%>
          <a href="./files/<%=content.getName()%>"><%=content[i].getName()%></a>
          <br>
<%
%>
<br><br>
BACK
But I don't think that there is anything to do with the code. Can anybody help me on this.
Thanks in Advance,
Ujjal
