Open Excel from SAP

Hi, 
got a problem. I click the Excel button after I did a query, but nothing happend. I mean the system ask me to save it as txt file, but then Excel dosn't start... More... if Im in one remote session I got this error on my status bar: 
Error -216 [86.29] 
Hope somebody can help 
Thx,Roberto

Coming back to my problem I made some test... 
Consider first my "architecture": 
I got some client that works as client pc and some other that works thru Remote Desktop. 
I thought that address the Excel path like
ServerName\Program Files\Microsof Office\bla bla could be a common path to everybody, but I discovered that seems SAP dosnt like so much it, it like more C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\bla bla 
Setting the path in this way works for them that are working with Remote Desktop, but dosn't work for the other clients, coz they maybe got installed Office in another folder or another disk.. 
Why should I do? Create a standard configuration for all the client so they got installed Microsoft Office in the same folder...??? Let say I got 200 client...I don't want neither to take in consideration... 
Why if Microsoft let you select the path where you like more to install office, SAP impose to get just one folder, that should be the same for everybody? Did they assume that everybody install office in the same folder, did they?? In this case.. sorry guys but things are different.. 
Why you SAP guys don't consider in the next release, the let the user installation, set the path he likes more fore Word Excel or whatever else? Could be appriciate... as well as a tools for copy one configuration for every clients, instead of going client to client to setup everything....but this is another chapter ...that upset me.. 
Cheers 
Roberto

Open Dashboards from SAP

Hi together,
I've a new SAP BO Dashboards 4.1 installation on my laptop.
Now I can't open dashboards from SAP:
MENU -> SAP -> OPEN
At this point I get the message: "Open from SAP not possible" (Sorry, this is my translation...)
I don't get the SAPlogon-Pad, but the Logon-Pad is installed and placed in the right folder..., I can open any other SAP-system connection without problems....
Any ideas ?

Hi Holger,
Do you have any dashboards published to SAP portal.
Try to create a sample dashboard on SAP Netweaver connection and publish it to SAP Portal.
Later try to open.
If nothing works under SAP menu, reinstall the SAP GUI.

Hi,
Use the Data source 0FI_AR_4 to Know the status (0FI_DOCSTAT) of payment to be done by customer.

Can't export to Excel from SAP after upgrade

Hi there,
We couldn't export to Excel after upgrading SAP from 2007B PL15 to 8.81 Pl07.
We tried all workstations as well as server itself and encountered below error upon exporting to Excel.
"AutoOpen.xls cannot be accessed. The file may be corrupted, loated on a server that is not responding, or read only."
Microsoft Excel Folder under "General Settings >> Path tab" has been defined.
If you have a solution or workaround for the above error, kindly share with me.
Thank you.

Read Excel from sap server HDD

I want to read xls from path wich I see by FM RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL (server space) and how to read xls format to itab from this path?
ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE work only on local HDD (not server space)

Hi,
You need to use the OPEN DATASET and READ DATASET statements.
Here is a sample, This program will upload a comma delimited file from app server, and break it up into specific fields of an ITAB.
report ztest_0001
no standard page heading.
parameters: d1 type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/Data1.csv'.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
fld1(20) type c,
fld2(20) type c,
fld3(20) type c,
end of itab.
data: wa(2000) type c.
start-of-selection.
open dataset d1 for input in text mode.
if sy-subrc = 0.
do.
read dataset d1 into wa.
if sy-subrc 0.
exit.
endif.
split wa at ',' into itab-fld1 itab-fld2 itab-fld3.
append itab.
enddo.
endif.
close dataset d1.

Opening excel from apex

i have a DML program that creates a report as a text file when a button is clicked and saves it onto a shared directory.i need to open this file in excel once it is created. the apex is used for a front end that allows user to select parameters to the program.
is there a way of opening these files in excel via apaex. or rather can you open an excel instance from apex that will open a file sitting on any location

If you store your files as a .csv file, you will be able to download those and open them
directly in excel. See this thread for a how to on opening BFILE:

Opening Excel from LabView

Hey all,
I am trying to figure out how to open an Excel document from within a running LabView .vi. I have been looking around here but I can't seem to find exactly what I am looking for. What I have is a GUI running to operate some test equipment. The user needs to be able to create and load a configuration file that is created with Excel. I have added options to my Run Time Menu to make this easy for the user, but I can't figure out how to actually execute it in the code.
I plan on having the template they will use at a location like this:
C:\Program Files\Naitonal Instruments\LabView 8.2\Templates\Interrogation Setup.xls
So I am trying to figure out the best way to execute this. I was going to use the System Exec.vi but, being a DOS prompt, it can't handle the spaces in the directory. Is there a better way for me to do this?
Really appreciate it.

You can interface excel via ActiveX in LabView. Have a search through the forum with these keywords. There is also a thread containing links to excel related threads, but I've no bookmark at hand.

Downloaded data in Excel from SAP table data to have the macro and control?

We know that in SE16 screen to display SAP table data, there is a menu item or button to download the table data to excel sheet, but in the excel sheet, the data is for display only and some calculation functions (e.g. sum) are not be able to be downloaded to the excel sheet as macro.
Our customers would like us to see if there is a way that in the excel sheet with the download SAP table data, only some certain rows/columns of data are allowed to be changed by customers or in other words, other areas in the excel sheet should be frozen and users can not even insert a column and do the copy/paste rows/columns. And also the original calculated column in SAP table (e.g., sum) would be in the corresponding column in the excel sheet, but with macro to do the same function (e.g., sum). After the customers perform some changes in some allowed certain rows/columns in the excel file, then the changed data can be uploaded back to SAP.
Wonder if there are such ABAP program to fullfill the above task to download SAP table data to an excel file and to make the downloaded data in the excel with only some certain row/columns to be changeable and all other areas frozen?
Thanks and we will give you reward points for valuable answers!

Hi,
This scenario can be met with the FM : RH_START_EXCEL_WITH_DATA
This is available in Older versions. Starts Excel with a macro.
I have never tried using this FM.
However, I came across : http://www.jt77.com/development1/programming-23850.html
Showing the use of it.
To get useful hints, also refer :
1) Transaction : DWDM
2) MS EXCEL as OLE Client :
