List Edit Reports using Excel Displays

Guys,
I've known about this functionality for some time, but never got round to investigating the potential..
In many of the PM/CS list-edit reports (e.g. IW38) we can also view the data in Excel format. SAP has provided two files as follows:
- SAP_MM.XLS: has two macros assigned (ALV_SAP_Exit and ALV_CUS_Exit)
- SAP_MM.XLS: no macro assignment
See [OSS Note 548409|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/548409] for more details relating to these files.
You can copy the standard XLS files (see OSS Note) to your own customer specific files. You can then use the marcos within these fields to include pivot tables, charts, filters, images, etc.

Hi,
Note [696069|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/696069] explains some security settings can help with this.

ABAP - Editable report using Excel view

hi friends
In my report i am using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
Function module to display the data in alv format. I am using the view in
Excel format.
My requirement is,
If i change the data in the
excel sheet that should reflect in the internal table.
I am able to do changes, but the data is not getting change in the internal
table.
The purpose of this is, the output of this report will be the
input of another program after changing the output in excel(only, bcoz in
excel they will change using some formulas).
Note:
I am
getting the changes to internal table if i use grid display not in excel
format.

SAP Note 2111087 - enhancement to PM/QM list edit reports

Hi,
Has anyone experience of implementing the following SAP notes which appear to give enhanced functionality within commonly used PM/QM reports:-
2111087 - Display of row count in list edit reports
2079317 - Preparatory note for display of row count in list edit reports
2079318 - Display of row count in PM list reports (SAP_APPL)
2079384 - Display of row count in PM list reports (EA_APPL)
2079386 - Display of row count in QM list reports (SAP_APPL)
2079387 - Display of row count in QM list reports (EA_APPL)
The above notes appear to enhance over 90 list edit reports within PM & QM and have been created from an improvement request within the EAM Customer Connect Cycle 3.
No business functions need to be activated to use this function.
Regards
Gary B

Hi Gary,
I have implemented the note 2111087 and its related notes
2079317
2079318
2079384
2079386
2079387
as per the above notes the counter field is appearing in most of the transaction, which are listed in the Note 2079318 given by SAP.
But still, the counter field does not appear in some of the transactions like IA08,IA09,IH06,IL05,IP15,IP16 and IP17.
I have checked the dependent notes and searched for correction notes, but couldnt find any.
Let me know if anyone has faced similar problem.
Thanks in advance.
Regards. Pavan

How To Control the Langauge of BI Reports (Using Excel 2013, oData, and Project Server Online 2013)

Although I buried and posted the following question indirectly in a recent post, I would like to do so here to try and elevate it in the hope that I can get an answer.
It is in regards to creating reports using Excel 2103 to querry Project Server 2013 Online using oData. I would like to be able to control the langauge of my reports that I create for others to view.
Just creating and then saving the Report and Data Connections in a language directory does not seem to drive or determine the language of the report. A colleague of mine over here is using the same directories as I am, and his turn
out to be French like his environment. Mine, even though I save the files in same the French directories, display in English.
Any ideas on how I can create reports so that they display in another language, eg., French when using Excel to create reports? I know that we can set the language in an internet browser to control the language that the result is returned, for instance,
when querying https://.../pwa/_api/ProjectData/$metadata
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Correction! Thanks to Doug Welsby of Microsoft and some our other MS friends who worked behind the scenes to correct/ assist me on this, I got the right answer after all... the difference between, example a French oData command/ statement,
and an English one is the inclusion of the square brackets with the language abbreviation/ code e.g., "[Fr..]" in the oData connection string/ statement. For further reference, see the connection files provided by Microsoft in the Reports and
compare the syntax for the same report/ different language. There is where you will see what and how Excel is able to differentiate/ control what language that the report result will return.

Custom SAP report used to display an average standard cost per material.

Hi All,
I need to implement a report with the following functionality,
This is a custom SAP report used to display an average standard cost per material. Standard cost data is stored in SAP at the Material/Plant level. This report will gather the individual Standard Costs at each applicable plant (restricted by selection screen input and additional logic specified in more detail in the u201CReport Fieldsu201D section) for applicable Materials (restricted by selection screen input; if not specified all materials should be returned) and calculate an average standard cost for each material. The corresponding Currency and Base Unit of Measure will also be displayed.
Additionally the relevant u201CCommodity Code/Import Codeu201D information should be displayed for each material returned. This attribute is also stored at the Material/Plant level. To determine the value of this field for each relevant material, the report logic must retrieve the values stored for each plant. If all values are the same, the value can be output to the report. If not all values are equal, a message u201CNot Consistentu201D should be output. It should be noted that if all values are u201Cnull,u201D a null value should be returned in the report.
Can any one provide me with sample code for the same??
Thanks Debrup.

Error while designing Deski reports using excel 2010(xslx) as data source

Hi All
We are using BOXI R3.3 on Windows 2003 Server.
When we are trying to create DESKTOP INTELLIGENCE REPORTS using EXCEL 2010(xlsx) format prompting with below error.
"Cannot update.Database or object is read only(3207) "
Could you please clarify whether BOXI supports MS EXCEL 2010 version(xslx) version or not?
If not what is the work around for this?
Regards
bose

Here is what Supported Platforms Guide says : Microsoft Office 2010 (starting with FP 3.4)**
As you are on FP3.3, Office 2010 is not supported in your implementation.
You need to either upgrade, or use pre-Office 2010 formats.

Report using excel sheet as data source not working when deployed to production.

I have a set of SSRS reports that use an excel sheet as a datasource.
Now when I preview the reports or run them in the Visual Studio IDE on my local machine i.e
the development machine, the reports run fine & display all correct results.
However, when we deploy the reports to the Production machine which is on a separate server,
the following error message is displayed :
"The current action cannot be completed. The user data source credentials do not meet the requirements to run this report. Either the user data source credentials are not stored in the report server database, or the user data source is configured not to
require credentials but the unattended execution account is not specified. (rsInvalidDataSourceCredentialSetting)"
I've copy pasted the connection string used for connecting to the excel file as reference :
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\MyFolder\CurrentFile.xlsx;Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;";
The excel file has also been uploaded to the machine housing the reporting server (i.e to C:\MyFolder location)

Hi Aaakar,
From the error message, please try to change the setting of Credential type for the data source on report manager as follows:
Go to the Data Sources properties page.
For the Connect Using option, select Credentials stored securely in the report server.
In User Name and Password, type credentials that can be used to access the database. If you are using SQL Server as the data source, the user name must be valid for both logging on to the server and for accessing the database that contains the data for
the report.
If the user name and password are credentials for a Windows account, select Use as Windows Credentials.
If you want the report server to pass the credentials of the user accessing the report to the server hosting the external data source, click Windows Integrated Security. In this case, the user is not prompted to type a user name or password.
For more details about Configure Data Source Properties, please see:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155882.aspx
Hope this helps.

Creating a crystal report using excel

I have an excel spreadsheet that I would like to access to create a crystal reports. But it seems that I have to first save it as an access or other database file. But this information changes frequently so I it would be more efficient to access the excel file directly. I tried using the crystal wizard addin in excel, but then when I run the report I get the error message "Server has not yet been opened". Any other ideas on how to create report of excel data directly?

Hello Guys ,
I have something similar problem ,but not exactly.
our requirement is We are scheduling one crystal report to generate excel and sent to FTP location.This Excel file (in FTP) should be the input of new Crystal Report using ODBC (RDO) connection.
I am able to create the ODBC connection,but that ODBC connection is not showing me the selected excel sheet in the Crystal Report ODBC Connection.I tried with Remote as well as local drive Excel also.
I tried on different machine (thought ,it could be Driver specific),but all machines does have same issue.
Is there any settings or driver upgrades require for CR XI R2 /2008 in order to use ODBC (RDO) for EXCEL FILES.I didnt find any comments /resolution in Google too.
My steps -
1) Create a sample Excel file - only few records
2) Created a System ODBC connection pointing this excel file say "TEST1"
3) Opened A Blank Crystal Report
4) Create a New connection
5) Select ODBC RDO
6) Create new connection and selected the newly created SYSTEM DSN "TEST1"
7) check the selected excel is displayed in ODBC RDO connection??
If it is a Crystal Report issue or ODBC Driver issue ,please let me know if anyone have came across similar issues.
thanks in advance.

How to get list of Reports used in iBots?

Hi,
What is the process to get list of all those reports used in iBots/Alerts.
Is there any NQ table, which contains this information.
Thanks,
Sunil Jena

Do you have usage tracking configured / enabled?
From memory have a look in there - I am fairly sure you can see the difference between a 'normal' user use of a report and the i-Bot equivalent.
And yes, you are correct there is also a table that holds the i-Bot data, in 10g it used to be nq_scheduler or something similar - not sure what it is now.
regards,
Robert.

List of reports using custom OM object

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to retrieve all the reports and interfaces which are using a custom OM object. Since I cannot do a where used list for the custom object in HRP 1000, which approach I should use ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Megha

Megha,
You can use SAP program RS_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN to search for your custom object used in SAP programs. In this report you can specify the search string, program name (can be Z*) and other selection criteria.
This program will give the list of all the SAP objects where your string is being used. This program may take some time for processing depending on your selection criteria.

Hi,
Create similar kind of joins which you make after importing physical tables from db.
There is no difference in making joins in the excel. (both physical and BMM layers).
But always remember there are many limitations for having excel as database.

List editing report problem with IH08

Hi,
We have issue while executing IH08 transaction, it is taking long time to execute.
As per the performane requirement 10min time given from basis to run any programe and auto log out.
we have done customer fields addition in equipment master.
If any body had same issue and got resolved, pls up date us. We are using ECC6.0 and SAP_APPL at patch level of 13.

hi,
have you discussed with your Basis consultant... A readymade solution cannot be suggested as it depends on lot of factors including the no. of equipments you have created, system capacity, load etc.
I hope you might have already tried with restricted selection. Even with restricted selction is it taking this much time ? What is your observation for IE05 ? Is it working fine ?

Translating a report which is using excel template

Hello,
We are working on a BI report using excel template. I've checked the report designer's user guide and it says template translation is a feature only supporting RTF and BI publisher layout template.
I am wondering what is the best practice for translating a report which is using excel template.
So far I have a alternative which is making all labels in my template dynamically getting values from HCM lookups , but this solution is time consuming.
Could anybody help here?
