Icon download to excel

Hi All,
During an ALV list display I use a few icons for a few fields, say
Im displaying vbeln-posnr-matnr-netwr, I use icon(icon_okay, icon_cancel etc) for matnr.
So when the list is displayed everything is fine, but when I download this list to an excel these icons are not recognized and hence they are being displayed as wild characters (these are the icon codes) like @7Q@, @CA@ et. al.
Any work arounds for this problem will be appreciated <<removed_by_moderator>>
Regards,
Narendra.

Normaly, you dont have such a mess of icons, so this approach isnt much work.
But the most severe thing is that icons are character variables having length 2 or 4. And cause of that the text replacement doesnt fit into the icon var.
So you have to have an additoional field, and with a method you can go through table icon and get the description of that icon back. If you put that into a method or a FM then it will work with every icon available.

Why is the spreadsheet empty when users download to Excel from ALV grid?

Users are seeing SAP GUI transaction results display in the ALV Grid when running an SAP Report; however, when they click the Download to Excel icon the spreadsheet is empty. When they use List...Export...Spreadsheet, the spreadsheet is filled.
This seems to only be happening with 'Z' transactions. Standard delivered transactions are OK.
Using SAP GUI for Windows and Excel 2003.

Hi All,
I also have same Problem I my case when i click on 'Microsoft Excel' it does nothing. It does not even open a sheet.
Please suggest,

ALV download to EXCEL with column headings etc.

Getting data from a grid to EXCEL can be done in "List" mode vis system==>save etc but it's not particularly user friendly and in any case if you are displaying a nice ALV why should the user have to switch into LIST mode anyway.
Anyway here's a decent way to do it and it gives great formatted column headings etc etc.
1) in the ON_TOOLBAR method add this code
method ON_TOOLBAR.
type-pools icon.
CLEAR ls_toolbar.
MOVE 0 TO ls_toolbar-butn_type.
    MOVE 'EXCEL' TO ls_toolbar-function.
    MOVE space TO ls_toolbar-disabled.
    MOVE icon_xxl TO ls_toolbar-icon.
    MOVE 'Excel' TO ls_toolbar-quickinfo.
    MOVE 'EXCEL' TO ls_toolbar-text.
    APPEND ls_toolbar TO e_object->mt_toolbar.
2) In the ON_USER_COMMAND method add the following
(if you have a class defined with SE24 you don't need the commented code).
method ON_USER_COMMAND.
       FOR EVENT before_user_command OF cl_gui_alv_grid
       IMPORTING
         e_ucomm
         sender.
CASE e_ucomm.
     .......   other toolbar funcs if you have any
      WHEN 'EXCEL'.
        CALL METHOD me->download_to_excel.
    ENDCASE.
endmethod.
3) code this method to download to EXCEL
method DOWNLOAD_TO_EXCEL.

You get nice column headings etc and decently formatted EXCEL spreadsheet.
For Office 2007 I think you need to apply a SAP note but it certainly works with OFFICE 2003 which is what we are still using.

Leading 0 while downloading to excel

Hi All,
I am displaying my output in ALV using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY,but when i download the report to excel using standard download button in the tool bar(local file icon), the leading zeros are getting truncated
eg 0004 is displayed as 4
field is VBKD-ZTERM....
Whats the way out?
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Regards
Gunjan
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Mar 4, 2008 2:52 PM

1.Introduce another field in internal table of type Numeric.
2.Before you pass the internal table to Reuse_alv_grid Display
3.Move the character field to Numeric type and use this
numeric field to display in Reuse_alv_grid_display.
Then the leading zeros will also be displayed while downloading to Excel.

Download to Excel with Images

Hello
The download to excel and PDF documents now includes images. I have inlcuded images in my web templates to execute commands eg: Download to Excel, Bookmake etc.
See below:
img onclick="executeJS_EXPORT_XSLT120();" alt="Download to Excel" src="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/Mime/BEx/Icons/S_X_XLS.gif" border="0"
These images are simply for command execution and look out of place and serve no purpose in the excel or PDF files.
My Question:
Is it possible to exclude these images in the docnload to excel and PDF?
Thanks in advance.

Firstly, Thanks for Your quick Response, Thomas.
Even though what ever may be the file name I am passing either info.xml or Info.xls , In error info.xls is coming.
Kindly provide me an alternative on this XML doesn't seem like it would match the 'application/vnd.ms-excel'.
what is the supported format.?
Similarly, It is not considering the UTF-8 / UTF-16 for xml.........same result is appearing in the output.

Doubt on ALV report download to EXCEL

Hi All,
i have written a report with ALV_GRID FM, by default we get the option to download the output to excel. But when we click on the download to excel, it displays the output
in the frist page, but it also opens so many pages like
format, header, pivot,sub1,sub1....etc.
Pls. check the SAP standard report BCALV_TEST_FULLSCREEN, does the same thing when we do download to excel.
How can i avoid opening so many pages in excel?
Thanks for the help.

Hi ,
prabhu here , i think check the FM wheather u r passing all these to FM. for Excel keep export.param: --> i_save only and check.

Help needed: Download to excel without pop-up

Hi All,
In a particular scenario, I require to trigger an action once a file have been successfully downloaded to EXCEL from Webdynpro UI. But in case of download functionilty, once the MS window pop-up for download comes up, the control is lost from Webdynpro and its impossible to track whether user have saved, opened or canceled the file.
Is there any functionality to directly download internal table content to EXCEL, without facing the download popup. Please let me know any function module or functionality for this.
Thanks in advance to all.
Regards,
Mainak

yes there are many tutorials on SDN regarding this
u may procced like this :
get the contents in internal table and then use the FM 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
DATA text   TYPE string.
DATA xtext TYPE xstring.
*   get all declared attributes
lo_nd_sbook->get_static_attributes_table(
    IMPORTING

**path to the word file
i_filename = 'WDP.xls'

here it_sbook is the inernal table and ls_sbook is the structure type of the attributes declared in the context node sbook
DATA ls_sbook TYPE wd_this->element_sbook.

Download to Excel is hiding rows in a pivot view

Hello ,
When downloading a report to excel from OBIEE Dashboard , certain rows are getting hidden . For instance , I have total 15 rows in my pivot view and when I download that report into excel format , the rows from 8-13 are not showing up . After 7th row I see 14th row .
But when I download the same report from Answers I can see all rows in the pivot view .
I tried looking at the formatting options of the pivot view and everything is normal . This is happening only with this particular report , other reports in dashboard download normally .
Please let me know if anybody has ideas .
Thank you
Karthik

Download to excel using GUI_DOWNLOAD : Date format

Hi Gurus,
I am downloading the data from an internal table to excel file using FM gui_download. The date field in my internal table is in the format MM-DD-YYYY (stored as Char 10 field). But when it downloads to excel, the date format changes to MM/DD/YYYY. I want to keep original format of MM-DD-YYYY in excel.
Please help, sure points for helpful answers.
should i use FM gui_download only, or is there some Other useful FM.

Hi,
Check the code below:
v_date = sy-datum.

Upload and download of excel file in the application server in background

Hi all,
i want to download the excel file from application server into internal table and after processing i have to upload to excel file in the application server in the background mode..
i mean i'll schedule the program in background.
im using FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE its working fine in fore ground but not in back ground.
what method i have to follow ?

Hi Ankit,
I think this is not possible to open a Excel-File from the application server because the Excel format before Office 2007 where a binary format (Suffix: .xls). The newer Office file format (Suffix: xlsx) is a zipped XML Format. To read the binary Excel-Format you need an OLE Connection between SAP GUI and Office. But at the application server in background you doesn't have this OLE Connection.
In my opinion you have two possibilities:
1. Convert all files in the CSV format. This file format can be read with open dataset.
2. Upload the files from the presentation server in forground. There are some funktion modules in the standard which can read the xls format. But they have some limits regarding the length of cells content.
My recommendation is solution no. 1. If you know an VBA expert, he can write an Excel-macro which converts all Excel Files in the CSV-Fomat.
Regards
Dirk
