Merge columns in an ALV Table

Hi colleagues,
is it possible to merge two or more columns in ALV Table (like ColSpan in the Matrix-Layout) to write a text over more than one column?
I haven't found any solution for it until now.
Best regards
Stefan

Although it may not be exactly what you were looking for, you can create a table ColumnGroup:

About selecting single column in a alv table.........

Hi Experts,
I need single column to be selected from a ALV table...selected in da sense to be highlighted....as it happens..by default for a row.....
I hope u understood my query...
Please help me out in this..
I know u all will surely help me...
Thks and Regards,
Runali.

Hi Runali,
Get the reference to the column settings of your ALV Model. Then you can get the reference of each column by passing the column ID. There is a method set_selected_state in the column class, but that does not highlight the column as it does for a row. So what you can use is a cell design for a column that will highlight the column with a color or whatever.
lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( ID = id ).
lr_column->set_cell_design( preferred design ).
Hope this helps. Please award points if it solves your purpose.

Column name in ALV table dissapeared after new language package installatio

Hi,
We have a custom field in an ALV table in SAP system. In english everything was just fine with our custom field.
But when we installed a new languaged the column name dissapeared.
My question is:
Where does the ALV get the column name from? Is there a standard method which I can search for which is used for this purpose in ALV?
regards
Baran

the field name comes from data element FIELD name you have specified when creating ur custom field..
try to change that field name for that field..
hope it works

Visual Composer 7.2 SP3 - Adjust column widths of ALV tables by end user

Hello,
we're using ALV tables with values coming out of function modules and queries.
Unfortunately I can't see an opportunity to adjust column widths at runtime by the end user. This is in contrast to VC 7.0 using flex.
Is there a way to archieve this?
Kind regards
Stefan

Hello Stefan,
This is a feature of Webdynpro Flex runtime. You can adjust column widths at Flex runtime in 720 SP3 also.
This is not supported by Webdynpro HTML runtime.

How can i change the column label text in a alv table display

how can i change the column label text in a alv table display??
A similar kinda of question was posted previuosly where the requirement was the label text was needed and following below code was given as solution :
* declare column, settings, header object
DATA: lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
DATA: lr_column_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_column_settings.
DATA: lr_column_header type ref to CL_SALV_WD_COLUMN_HEADER.
get column by specifying column name.
lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'COLUMN_NAME1' ).
set Header Text as null
lr_column_header = lr_column->get_header( ).
lr_column_header->set_text( ' ' ).
My specific requirement is i have an input field on the screen and i want reflect that value as the column label for one of the column in the alv table. I have used he above code with slight modification in the MODIFYVIEW method of the view since it is a process after input. The component gets activated without any errors but while run time i get an error stating
"The following error text was processed in the system CDV : Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible."
i have checked in debugging and the error occured at the statement :
lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'CURRENT_YEAR' ).Please can you provide me an alternative for my requirement or correct me if i have done it wrong.
Thanks,
Suri

I found it myself how to do it. The error says that it is not able to find the reference object i.e it is asking us to refer to the table. The following piece of code will solve this problem. Have to implement this in WDDOMODIFYVIEW method of the view. This thing works comrades enjoy...
DATA : lr_cmp_usage TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage,

 lr_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
ENDIF.
lr_if_controller = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ).

set Header Text as null
 lr_column_header = lr_column->get_header( ).
 lr_column_header->set_text( lf_string ).

Link in ALV table

Hi,
One of the table column in my ALV table displays Sales order with line item separated by "-".
For Ex : 70000174 - 10.
The sales order number should be a link in the table. When we click on Sales order number it should display another view.
How can I make only sales order number as a link?
Please note: Line item number should not be a link.
It should appear as below in the table.
70000174 - 10
70000175 - 10
70000176 - 10
70000177 - 10
Thanks in advance,
Prathap

Hi,
Having concatenatedvalue into once column and showing link to part of cell is not possible. Try to have salesorder and lineitem in 2 columns, and provide the link for salesorder.
Let your cleint know that the above case(original post) is not possible.
One more thing, POPINS are not possible for ALV. Youcan use TABLE UI element for popins.

Lekha.

Merging Columns In ALV

Hi
My requitrement is that i want to merge Columns (not Rows) in my ALV layout.
the condition is that i have to merge columns of only 1 row of my layout.
Cell_Merge will Merge Rows but how can i merge columns
suitable points will be awarded.
with regards
Rakshan

Hi rakshan,
could you give some kind of example?
ALV does not allow to change the structure of the table displayed. If your goal is to put the contents of more than one column into one column, you need a destination column.
I could imagine to concatenate all columns into a string:
FORM MERGE_CELLS using ps_itab type any changing pv_string type string.
data:
lv_tmp(100) type c,
lv_string type string.
field-symbols: <f> type any.
do.
assign component sy-index of ps_itab to <f>.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
exit.
endif.
write <f> to lv_tmp left-justified.
concatenate lv_string lv_tmp into lv_string separated by space.
enddo.
pv_string = lv_string.
endform.
Note: ABAP does not allow (yet) the use of write to <string variable>, that's why we use a temporary CHAR field.
Regards,
Clemens

Dynamically Merging Columns in a table

Hello All,
Is it possible to merge columns in table based on some set of condition.
The current output is as follows:
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 Column 5
Row1            ""               ""              ""                 ""
SubRow1      ""               ""              ""                 ""
Value 1       Value 2      Value 3     Value 4         Value 5
The output which we need is as follows:
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 Column 5
Merged Row 1 (merged columns)
Sub Row 1 (merged columns)
Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Value 4 Value 5
Merged Row 2 (merged columns)
Sub Row 2 (merged columns)
Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Value 4 Value 5
Merged Row 3 (merged columns)
Sub Row 3 (merged columns)
Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Value 4 Value 5
Thanks.
Kiran

The merge is simple if you do not think about it as in word:))
The merge can be done using scripting: just concatenate the values of the fields into one variable, fill in the value to the first column, change its width (to the width of the previous 4 cols) and hide te remaining/ blank cols.
Have fun, Otto

How to set title/text for ALV table column header in WD ABAP

Hello,
I am working in WDA using SALV_WD_Table to display data in table. I need to change the column header text, the obvious way is to get the column header and call the method SET_TEXT to set new text / title. However, this method does NOT work, it does not change the column header text. I also tried the SET_TOOLTIP, this one works, but SET_TEXT does not work. Anyone has idea why this not working and do you find any go-around solution?
My version is NW 7.0
Thank
Jayson

Hi jason ,
For setting Heder text for your ALV table
ip_confing type ref to CL_SALV_WD_CONFIG_TABLE.
"set alv table header
ip_config->if_salv_wd_table_settings~r_header->set_text( 'Test ALV Header functionality' ).
first you have to hide the DDIC text and then try to set your own text .
"modify columns
LOOP AT lt_columns INTO ls_column.
    lr_column = ls_column-r_column.
    CASE ls_column-id.
      WHEN 'MANDT'.

        "set header to different string
