Little problem  ALV - Download to Excel

Hi Friends !
I have a little problem, when the user download the data which are in ALV, the positions of columns change .
Example:
In ALV. 
1 - Column A
2 - Column B
3 - Column C
In Excel
1 - Column B
2 - Column A
3 - Column C
Regards !!!

This sounds pretty weird.  Are they just running ALV and then they do a download on the ALV screen using the Excel icon?  Are they running it with some type of Excel template?  Is it using a special layout - if so are they sure they saved the layout before they download?  Never heard of or saw this one before.  Also are you the Cesar I worked with a few years ago in Memphis?  Just wondering - don't think this will help much but let me know.

  • ALV download to excel problem

    Dear Gurus a problem in alv report downloading to excel:
    on executing the report works fine but when downloading to excel there last digit of bpvno is getting truncated.
    ex: actual bpvno:'4000010' but excel o/p shows as '400001'
    I have declared a field in final internal table as:
    data: bpvno as bseg-belnr,
    (in field catalog)
      fieldcatalog-fieldname   = 'BPVNO'.
      fieldcatalog-seltext_m   = 'BPV No.'.
      fieldcatalog-seltext_L   = 'BPV No.'.
      fieldcatalog-col_pos     = I1.
      fieldcatalog-emphasize   = 'X'.
      append fieldcatalog .
      clear  fieldcatalog.
      I1 = I1 + 1.
    but after specifying the  REF_TABLENAME & REF_FIELDNAME the downloaded excel o/p is correct.
    My questions is:
    1) i want to know what all are mandatory fields to be specified in fieldcatalog & is it compulsory to specify REF_TABLENAME & REF_FIELDNAME .
    if not complusory why the downloaded excel value is being truncated ???
    plz dont send materilas on alv and answer specific to the question....

    Hi,
    I wrote a small program, and for me it worked. My assumption about the seltext was wrong. And I also didn't use output lenght.
    Here is the code.
    REPORT  ZALVTOEXCEL                                                 .
    type-pools slis.
    data : gt_fcat type slis_t_fieldcat_alv.
    data fieldcatalog like line of gt_fcat.
    types : begin of t_belnr,
            bpvno like bseg-belnr.
    types end of   t_belnr.
    data gt_belnr type table of t_belnr.
    data gwa_belnr type t_belnr.
    gwa_belnr-bpvno = '4000010'.
    append gwa_belnr to gt_belnr.
    fieldcatalog-fieldname = 'BPVNO'.
    fieldcatalog-seltext_m = 'BPV No.'.
    fieldcatalog-seltext_L = 'BPV No.'.
    fieldcatalog-col_pos = 1.
    fieldcatalog-emphasize = 'X'.
    append fieldcatalog to gt_fcat.
    clear fieldcatalog.

  • ALV download to EXCEL -- probs with SAPGUI 6.40 and EXCEL 2007

    I have a method in an ALV grid which performs a dowload to excel
    Here's the method
    method download_to_excel.
    field-symbols:
           <fs0> type standard table,
           <fs1> type standard table.
        assign g_outtab1->* to <fs0>.
        assign g_fldcat1->* to <fs1>.
           call function  'LVC_TRANSFER_TO_KKBLO'
          exporting
            it_fieldcat_lvc   = <fs1>
        is_layout_lvc     = m_cl_variant->ms_layout
             is_tech_complete  = ' '
          importing
            es_layout_kkblo   = ls_layout
            et_fieldcat_kkblo = lt_fieldcat.
        loop at lt_fieldcat into lt_fieldcat_wa.
          clear lt_fieldcat_wa-tech_complete.
          if lt_fieldcat_wa-tabname is initial.
            lt_fieldcat_wa-tabname = '1'.
            modify lt_fieldcat from lt_fieldcat_wa.
          endif.
          l_tabname = lt_fieldcat_wa-tabname.
        endloop.
        call function 'ALV_XXL_CALL'
             exporting
                  i_tabname           = l_tabname
                  is_layout           = ls_layout
                  it_fieldcat         = lt_fieldcat
                  i_title             = sy-title

                 with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
        endif.
    endmethod.
    Basically the method converts the GRID table I'm displaying into the format requred for FMOD ALV_XXL_CALL' -- the field catalog is slightly different but no big deal here.
    This works fine when downloading to  EXCEL 2003 but short dumps when trying to do the same thing for EXCEL 2007.
    Workstation is running Windows XP / SP2 build 2600 in both cases.
    Any fixes etc or should I stick with EXCEL 2003 until forced to upgrade.

  • ALV Download to Excel

    Hi Experts,
    Currently in my custom program I have an issue regarding downloading ALV to excel file where one of the fields in the report will output more than 400 characters which is in Chinese characters and this field already type to string. The problem is when i download it to excel only the 301 characters is only downloaded to the file.
    Addtnl information:
    The data in the output internal table is complete before going through the FM REUSE_ALV_GRID but when i tried to debug when downloading before it reaches to the GUI_DOWNLOAD it already has incomplete data so this means that this is not a problem for GUI_DOWNLOAD.
    Question:
    Is the problem a SAP ALV download limitation?
    Is there an available solution for this?
    Edited by: Ekitzv on Apr 8, 2011 6:21 AM

    First try to scroll down till the last page, then select all the column manually by putting curser and copy.
    This will solve your issue. i usually do in ths way

  • ALV / Download to Excel - columns transposed

    A developer on my team has this problem:
    We have a ALV report that gives the user the option to download to excel.
    The report has columns.
    A,B,C,D (for example)
    but when the user exports to excel ("List > Export > Spreadsheet > Table")
    they get
    A, <b>C, B</b>, D
    Dose anyone know why this happens? We have checked various sites and found OSS note 358644.
    Are we on the right track? Or is there an easy answer to this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Kyle,
      I too faced the same problem lon back. But what we
      found is for currency, date and amount fields it is
      moving to last.
      You also checl the standard program BCALV_GRID_01.
      If you download you can see the same thing happens
      here also.
      Check in your case whether B is date, amout or numeric field.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Siri.
    Kindly award points if the answer is useful.

  • 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.

          WHEN 'EXCEL'.
            CALL METHOD me->download_to_excel.
        ENDCASE.
    endmethod.
    3) code this method to download to EXCEL
    method DOWNLOAD_TO_EXCEL.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS:
           <fs0> TYPE STANDARD TABLE,
           <fs1> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.
        ASSIGN g_outtab1->* TO <fs0>.

    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.

  • ALV download to Excel--Problem with Column Headers

    Hi,
    I have created a dynamic internal table and displaying it as ALV using SALV classes. Problem is that  when I download this ALV to Excel I'm not getting Column headings same as they are in ALV display.
    I mean in Excel it is showing Column headings taken from domain or data element.
    While creating dynamic table i'm passing short/ Medium & Long text too. Still it is not working.
    Any kinda help is appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Vivek Gaur
    Edited by: Vivek  Gaur on Nov 4, 2009 2:04 PM

    Look I cant actually post the code as it is divided in some global classes and main program. But i can elaborate the steps little further:
    1: I have created a field catalog for Dynamic internal table. In it i have passed every necessary field along with short/medium/Long texts.
    2: I fill up this dynamic table with data.
    3: I assign a field symbol to this dynamic internal table.
    4: I pass this field symbol to the factory method of CL_SALV_TABLE  Class.
    Thats it buddy..Hope u have understood my problem.
