Problem in downloading ALV report to Excel

hi All,
i am facing the problem when i am trying to download the ALV report to Excel format i should have the option to save as the Excel file from the dropdown where as instead of it i am getting the option to save as XML file.
is it something related to settings in SAP or is it done through programatically.
thanks,

Anyways is this happening for every one in your team or just for one. If the latter, looks like the user has selected the download in XML format & checked the "remember these settings" checkbox
You can refer to this link on how to change the default settings: [http://home4sap.com/Blog/2010/03/ecc5-0-alv-default-file-format-when-extracting-files-to-excel/|http://home4sap.com/Blog/2010/03/ecc5-0-alv-default-file-format-when-extracting-files-to-excel/]
You can also check this SAP offers the possibility to make from transaction FAGLB03 a download

Hi,
I had the same problem,
Run a consistency check for your ALV and you will find out. See if you havent passed any unnecessary parameter to FM.

Download alv report to excel in linux

Hi All,
I am working on SAP GUI for Java in Linux PC. I have installed
Open Office.
After executing an alv report there is no spreadsheet option
to download the report in excel format .
Also, when doing Save as Local File -> Spreadsheet ,
the report is not downloaded in proper format.
So, how to download the alv reports in excel format ?
Edited by: Vinod Iyer on Jan 8, 2008 11:51 AM

The problem of course is that you can't actually call up EXCEL on a Linux machine so such XXL functions as call function 'ALV_XXL_CALL' will not work.
I don't think SAP has OPEN OFFICE integration -- and even if you use EXCEL via the Linux Cross Over Office it is unlikely to work.
You might need to fiddle around with the internal file format yourself before saving it as a local file.
For EXCEL 2007 you actually have a better chance since if you save in TRUE EXCEL 2007 format the data is saved in a type of XML file.
You can read about the EXCEL 2007 new file formats on the M$ site. Note however that you will need to download the EXCEL 2007 file viwer to read the file with earlier versions of EXCEL.
(You can use EXCEL 2007 in "compatability" mode but using an XML file IMO seems a better option).
If you use a lot of EXCEL functionality probably the best option is to install Windows as a VM on your linux machine (VMWARE/PARALLELS/VMBOX etc) and then run the standard SAPGUI from the Windows VM.
Probably not the answer you want but it's the best I can do.

Hi Vinod ,
Save as Local File -> Spreadsheet
It will ask for Directory and file name with .xls format . Give proper name e.g. test.xls and save, and after saving file right click on the file and click on Open with "OpenOffice.org calc".
It will definetly work.

Download ALV report to excel sheet

halo fellow SAPiens,
i want to download my alv report into excel sheet...........for tht i used UGI_DOWNLOAD........here if i use the file type as 'ASC' all the leading zeros of numeric values are removed and date format is "yyyy/mm/dd".......
i need the leading zeros and date format in "dd/mmyyy"
when i use file type 'DBF' i get the leading zeros but my date is replaced by '#####.............wht shld i do...........

To get the leading zeros to come, append an apostrophe to the start of each field that has the leading zeros as shown
loop at itab.
concatenate '''' itab-field1 into itab-field1.
modify itab.
endloop.
note that
1. This sometimes doesnt show correctly in excel and you may have to double click on the cell to prevent the apostrophe from displaying in the sheet
2. You field needs to have an extra character to add the apostrophe

If you look at the data with some tools, you will see # for the tabs and ## for CRLFs...these are outside the range of printable characters.
Correct this:
CONCATENATE CON_CRET l_string INTO it_objbin.
with...
CONCATENATE   l_string CON_CRET INTO it_objbin. "put the return/linefeed on the end of the string.
Also, consider.... debug as needed...
field-symbols <lfs_x> type any.
loop at it_final into ls_final.
do.
assign component sy-index of structure ls_final to <lfs_x>.
if sy-subrc ne 0. "end of row ecountered.
exit.
endif.
if sy-index eq 1.
l string = <lfs_x>.
else.
concatenate l_string <lfs_x> into l_string separated by con_tab.
endif.
enddo.
concatenate l_string con_ret into l_string.
condense l_string.
append l_string to lt_objbin.
endloop.

Problems with Downloading BI Reports to Excel in Office 2007

Hi,
I've created reports using the BI Publisher plugin for Word 2007 and deployed these through Apex. Users that have Office 2003 installed get to download the file without any compatibility issues. Those users on Office 2007 get a warning as follows:
"The file you are trying to open. 'filename.xls' , is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now? "
The file will open and save, it's just annoying getting this message each time. There aren't any problems when downloading the report in other formats.

This is a known issue.. It is a "Fix" from Microsoft, to make sure folks know that the file is NOT a true Blue XLS style file.. My office just went through this and it can be adjusted, but involves a registry setting that they DID NOT want to impliment..
Please see the attached url:

Problem in exporting ALV Report to excel sheet

Hi All,
I have developed a Report and now facing problem in exporting the same to excel sheet.
When we click the "Locate File" icon in the report layout, the system will pop up a window with radio buttons. I have opted for 'Spreadsheet'.
When i save the excel sheet into my desktop, the excel file has all the report headers (Title of each column). But no value is exported.
There are around 15 columns in the report and the excel sheet shows value of last 2 columns which has some text.
I have been into ALV report development and developed around 30+ reports in the same fashion.
What might be the reason behind this issue?
When i export other reports into excel sheet, everything is perfect without any flaws......
Kindly help me out......
Regards
Pavan

Hi,
Here's my suggestion: Install OpenOffice.org and ask SAP to deliver good integration with OpenOffice.org.
Alternative suggestion: re-install SAP Gui on the PC where the integration is not working. If that does not help, re-install Microsoft Office as well.
Here's my comment: I think you should ask this question in a different forum, e.g. in the Duet forum. That may not be the correct forum either, but as it is a Microsoft/SAP integration technology forum, someone there may know the solution.
Regards,
Raj.

Downloading ALV Report to Excel

Hi to all
My requirement is,
Final ALV is displaying the records with three headings.
Let there are records with heading.
    Name          City        Address
1) jasvinder     Delhi      123_Rambag.
once i download this record in the excel file
the name of the last heading should get changed. like
   Name          City         Place
1) jasvinder     Delhi      123_Rambag.
Actually i want to change the heading once
the file get downloaded(automatically).
Is it possible ?

hi,
u can give a button in ALV to download to excel.
if u use standard functionality in ALV, ur requirement is not possible.
So by give the buton its possible.
1. By clikcing button.
Use that FM GUI_DOWNLOAD twice:
First time download only header
Second time append table contents to the same file (import parameter append = 'X')
egx:
or example if your itab used for writing the abap list is like below.
data: begin of details occurs 0 ,
customer type kna1-kunnr,
name type kna1-name1 ,
end of details.
declare another internal table.
data: begin of headers occurs 0 ,
customer(100) ,
name(100),
end of headers.
move: '010101' to headers-customer ,
'Anver' to headers-name .
append headers.
now call GUI_download to download headers to filename c:/tem.xls
again call gui_download with APPEND = 'X' to the same file name and download details itab

Problem in downloading ALV output to Excel

Here are the details of short dump.
Run time Error OBJECTS_NOT_CHARLIKE
The current statement only supports character-type data objects.
What happened?
Error in ABAP application program.
The current ABAP program "SAPLKKBL" had to be terminated because one of the
statements could not be executed.
This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
What can you do?
Print out the error message (using the "Print" function)
and make a note of the actions and input that caused the
error.
To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.
You can use transaction ST22 (ABAP Dump Analysis) to view and administer
termination messages, especially those beyond their normal deletion
date.
Error analysis
In statement
"STRLEN( obj )..."
the argument "obj" can only take a character-type data object.
In this case, the operand "obj" has the non-character type "P".

Declare another variable of same length as 'obj' let us say its obj1 , then move 'obj' to 'obj1', now findout the length of 'obj1', which wil be the same value.
MOVE obj TO obj1.
STRLEN(obj1).
Hope ur dump wil not trigger again.

Sujatha.

Do you get a excel with empty sheet with excel in place ?
Then you need to enable macro in trust center of excel sheet settings. The way you do this depends on the version of excel you are using.
I am able to get 200+ columns perfectly this way.
