Leading zeros in downloaded excel

Hi,
I'm facing a problem with truncated leading zeros in downloaded excel. Can anybody suggest me how to get those leading zeros in excel.
I tried Function modules XXL_FULL_API and WS_DOWNLOAD, both did not work.

Hi Praveena,
check the following code.
data : begin of itab occurs 0,
 matnr like mara-matnr,
 maktx like makt-maktx,

 end of itab.
itab-matnr = '00000011111'.
itab-maktx = 'test1'.
itab-matnr2 = '00000011112'.
append itab.
itab-matnr = '00000033333'.
itab-maktx = 'test2'.
itab-matnr2 = '00000044444'.
append itab.

Display of leading zeroes when downloaded from ALV to excel

Hi All,
I have a problem in ALV grid display.
There is a specific field which has value starting from '001' to '999'. This is a char(3) type of variable.
The problem is that the display shows the value as '001' which is correct. but when the same file is dwnloaded to excel using standard SAP functionality, the value of the field gets changed to '1' instead of '001'.
Is there any option by which this can be controlled. Please let me know, its urgent!!
thanks

hi Ankur,
the Excel download is done by Z program? IF yes you have to do:
SET PROPERTY OF go_cell 'NumberFormat' = '@'.
this will set the Excel cell to Text type and leading zeros won't be lost.

Leading zeroes dropped in Excel

Hello folks
I've got an issue with using downloading data onto an Excel file using the FM GUI_Download. The leading zeroes of the PERNR field get truncated when opening the file with MS Excel.
However the zeroes are in place when the downloaded file is opened with notepad or any other text editor.
Is there any solution to prevent Excel from dropping the leading zeroes.
I'm currently using tab as the field separator, and have defined the PERNR field as TYPE C at the internal table used for populating and displaying the data.

Hi,
data:matnr(20) type c.
concatenate text-001 g_t_ekpo-matnr into g_t_ekpo-matnr.
text-001 is having '.
I had declared the Matnr as type c so that it can accomodate that single quote.It is indeed downloading the matnr with preceeding zeroes into the excel but along with the single quote.Can't we get the preceeding zeroes into excel without the single quote into the excel.
Thanks,
Kiran.

How to retain leading zeros in an excel sheet

                         response.setHeader("Content-disposition",

                         response.getOutputStream().println(data);
                         response.getOutputStream().flush();This is the code which I am using to export all the data to the excel.Here the variable data is a String .
Kindly help on this issue.
Thanks in advance...

HI KC,
then no need to download the zeros,
after uploading, loop at that uploaded internal table and use CONVERSION_EXIT_APLHA_INPUT and pass the vbeln(without zeros) to this FM, it will return the value with added zeros.
hope this solves your query
a small example
Loop at itab into is.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
EXPORTING
INPUT = is-vbeln "( this is without zeros)
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = is-vbeln. "( this is with leading zeros)
modify itab from is.
endloop.

Leading zeroes are being suppressed in excel output

I have a template that prints our item number field. This field is alpha-numeric, but sometimes it is all numeric with leading zeroes. I have it defined as a text field in my template. It prints correctly (with the leading zeroes) in the PDF output, but it suppresses the leading zeros in the excel output. Is there any way to stop it from doing this - I want it to be a text field.

Thanks. That sort of works. In the excel output, it is truncating the field after the first 4 digits even though the length is defined as 'unlimited'. In the PDF output, it prints the double quotes around the field.

Leading zeros are removed when uploading excel

Hi All,
I have created a program to send an email with an excel attachment but the leading zero's in excel are removed. can anybody suggest what can be done other than replace since that exceeds 255chars so i cant concatenate.

Hi
Try adding the character ' (single quote) before the actual value. Excel then treats the value as-is whithout conversion
character type for columns
data: h_columns        TYPE ole2_object,
      h_cell           TYPE ole2_object.
CALL METHOD OF excel 'Columns' = h_columns
EXPORTING
    #1 = 'F:K'.
set property of h_columns 'NumberFormat' = '@'.
CALL METHOD OF excel 'Cells' = h_cell
EXPORTING
    #1 = 14
    #2 = 7.
SET PROPERTY OF h_cell 'Value' = '0001'.

Grid Download to Excel truncates leading zeros

We are on tools 8.51. The download feature for a Grid now removes the leading zeros when the grid is downloaded to excel. Has anyone found a way to fix this issue ? Thanks in advance

When you download from PS query, the output is created as a true binary xls file, but when you download from a grid in PT 8.51 the output file is html, even though the filename is ps.xls. You can open this file in a text editor.
If you have all numeric data in a column, it will be stored as <td>nnnnnn</td> in the html file. if the column has mixed numeric and text data, it will be stored as <td>=&quot;nnnnnn&quot;</td>. The leading zeroes are still there in both cases, but when excel imports the first form it will convert the result to numeric, the second it will treat as text.
Other than logging a case with Oracle, the only workaround I could think of would be to save the file to disk and run the macro directly against the html. Of course, this would likely be a major redesign.

Bob

Download to Excel" function cuts off leading zeros in string

When a text column contains leading zeros for example "000250" the download to Excel stores the string as "250" in the spreadsheet
I am unable to find a log about this
thanks Muthanna

1) Click on the fx button of the column in question. Enter this:
'&nbsp' || columnname Between the double quotes, type display:none
2) Click on the Data Format tab and change the type to HTML.

Cuts off leading zeros in a report column when "Download to Excel" function

(To Vins) Actually, concatenating a space doesn't do it. When the file is downloaded into Excel, the leading space is ignored and it the leading zeroes are still trimmed.
To user647228: A non-space character needs to be concatenated. Regarding what character to append, I would give the following consideration: If the users are content with seeing an added character to the "number," you can append say an underscore "_" and Excel will download the number properly. It's fairly unobtrusive and can be "visually ignored."
If the end user insists on gettin rid of the extra character once the file is downloaded, I would append a character that is rarely, if not never, used in the report. (This ensures or mitigates replacing other instances of the character.) Then you can do a Replace All in Excel to replace the extra character with a single apostrophe. The single apostrophe will be interpreted by Excel to mean "text" and the appearance will change to exactly what is desired.
Note: Replacing the extraneous character with a space for example, will result in the leading zeroes being again lopped off by Excel...

Hi,
try to explain to excel, that this field is character field (I think that it will be done by adding single quote as first character of string).
Pointing to my previous answer try:
Constants: c_single_quote(1) type c value ''''. " I _hope_ it works
loop at itab.
concatenate c_single_quote itab-matnr to texttab-c_matnr.
endloop.

Excel Download of ALV with one column containing leading zeros

Hello Experts,
I have the requirement in which the first column is of type company code (T001-BUKRS). So if the company code is '0061', then on the ALV display its displayed as '0061', but when it is downloaded to Excel sheet, it shows '61' in place of '0061'.
Is there any way we can display in the downloaded Excel as 0061?
Any pointers could help.
Regards,
Mansi.

Hi Mansi,
I think its because of excel property.You can format cell of excel to category 'special'.

Leading zeros from data downloads

Hello!
While downloading data from the ABAP tables, Excel removes the leading zeros automatically but in some SAP tables (NAST for example), those leading zeros are necessary to find the required associated data. Is there any way to prevent Excel from removing these zeros?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
There are two ways to solve it.
1) select complete columns in the Excel sheet and then assign the number format as ' TEXT ' in the sheet.Then u ll be able to see the leading zero's
2) If u donot want to wrk in Excel the way i have mentioned,then in the abap program just use the FM
"CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT" over that field before uploading in a table.
By mistake i have told u the wrong way.the first way is for copying the data from text file to excel file and preserving the leading zeros.
