Answer 1

Hi,
This is very simple, follow the below mention steps to do so:
1.Declare an internal table having same structure as db table, but take all the fields type as 'C' and length same as defined in the table.
TYPES:BEGIN OF it,
  key(20) TYPE c,
  indicator(20) TYPE c,
  bldat(20) TYPE c,"bkpf-bldat
  budat(20) TYPE c,"bkpf-budat
  END OF it.
DATA: itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF it,
      wa TYPE it.
2.Include TRUX as type pool and declare a variable of type trux_t_text_data to be passed in the FM that actually reads data from excel sheet into above declared intrenal table.
TYPE-POOLS: truxs.
DATA: it_raw TYPE truxs_t_text_data.
3. Call the FM 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP' and pass the file name and the internal table name into the parameter
CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP'
    EXPORTING
*    I_FIELD_SEPERATOR          = 'X'
     i_line_header              = 'X'
      i_tab_raw_data             = it_raw
      i_filename                 = p_file "name of the excel file
    TABLES
      i_tab_converted_data       = itab[] "internal table where data will be stored
   EXCEPTIONS
     conversion_failed          = 1
     OTHERS                     = 2
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
  ENDIF.
4. loop at internal table and modify the ztable/dbtable where data to be upload .
Hope this solve your problem.
