Problem opening downloaded report in Excel 2007 with Hierarchy (BW 3.5)

Hi,
When we download a BW (3.5) report from the web to excel with an hierarchy (for example on a GL account or cost element) and try to open it in excel (version 2007), it takes a very very very long time (aprox. 15 minutes) to load a simple report. Normally this should only take 5 secs. When we download the same report without an hierarchy it opens as fast as normal.
This problem is very recent and in the last year at least we have never encountered it.
Do you know what could cause this and how we might be able to fix it?
Thank you very much for your help!!
Kind regards,
Hermen

Exporting Crystal report to excel 2007 with an image

Hi - I hope this is the correct forum for this question.
We are using the Crystal report viewer and everything works just fine . When I go to export to excel (using office 2007) the images are not exporting, do you know if this is an excel 2007 problem or a Crystal issue?
Thanks in advance
DanPlo

Hi;
I still recommend installing the Service Pack. If the issue persists, and is contained to the version 8.5 reports, then yet, they will likely need to be converted to version 11.0 to work correctly. The Crystal Reports engine was completely re-written in version 9.0, so moving from 8.5 can cause some issues.
If you try exporting one of the 8.5 reports from the verison 11.0 Designer, do you have the issue?

Formatting problem in download report into EXCEL Sheet

I have requirement that the Column in the report have values as 1.50,1.5,3.50,when i'm downloading the report into Excel sheet,The values are rounded and appearing as 1.5,1.5,3.5.
Can anyone please let me know how to resolve this requirement

hi,
1) Excel will not take zero's after decimal(1.50) it will roundup(1.5) the values.
2) you can do like in formula section use CAST(column_name as CHAR) and download it to excel then u will get the zero i think...i didn't tried
or Column properties--->Data format --> Select Number--->use 1000's Seperator for 1 decimal and save the report and download it
but it should work!

Is it possible to download a report to excel 2007?

Hello,
I'm wondering where I should configure the fact that I want to download a report that has been made in webi (XI 3.0) to an excel using the Excel version 2007 (with less limitation concerning the number of rows available). Right now I only have the option of downloading it to an Excel file of Excel version 2003.
thanks
Thierry

Hi All,
I'm on XI R2 and i had the same problem but when i intalled excel 2007 on my machine i'm able to export the data to excel even if the number of rows are more then 65krows.
In excel 2003 the row limitation is 65k row and in excel 2007 its around 10 lac rows.

Warning message when exporting a Financial Report to Excel 2007

Excel 2007 users that attempt to export a fully formatted Financial Report into Excel 2007 get the following error message:
"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?"
I am still researching the behavior that users get when they click through the message, but would ideally like for the message not to appear without updating the client machine registries. Has anybody else run across this?
Excel 2007
BI Plus version: 9.3.1.0.0.248

It looks like this is a known issue addressed in Bug 7359171 - EXPORT TO EXCEL 2007 CAUSES FILE FORMAT WARNING:
The current design does not allow you to open HTML content from a web site in Excel unless the extension of the URL is .HTM/.HTML/.MHT/.MHTML. So ASP pages that return HTML and set the MIME type to something like XLS to try to force the HTML to open in Excel instead of the web browser (as expected) will always get the security alert since the content does not match the MIME type. If you use an HTML MIME type, then the web browser will open the content instead of Excel. So there is no good workaround for this case because of the lack of a special MIME type for HTML/MHTML that is Excel specific. You can add your own MIME type if you control both the web server and the client desktops that need access to it but, otherwise the best option is to use a different file format or alert your users of the warning and tell them to select Yes to the dialog.
Another Workaround :
Client Configuration of Extension Hardening.
Client desktops can change the default behavior of the security check using a registry key. The following registry key can be set to alter the behavior ofthe Excel 2007 client in the following ways:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\SecurityValue: (DWORD)"ExtensionHardening" = [0 = Disable check; 1 = Enable check and prompt; 2 = Enable check, no prompt deny open]Default setting if value not present is 1 (enable and prompt).
The client can configure the site to disable the check by setting ExtensionHardening = 0. This will stop the prompt from appearing, but it will also disable any future checks for the file content validity. This does not (in itself) lower your security. The check is part of a defense-in-depth strategy to prevent malicious users from crafting files of a different type than its extension (or MIME type), which could then be used to trick users into opening a file of a type they did not expect. This warning is designed to let the user know of this potential threat and given them an option of canceling the open if they wish.

Exporting a BI report to excel 2007 from Portal

Hi,
Any one please let me know is there any option to export a BI report from portal to MS excel 2007, the option which we have directly prompts to save in 2000/2003.
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,
Could you please try if following trick works:
1. Open the report at Portal.
2. Export it as 2000/2003 format.
3. Open the downloaded report with your MS Excel 2007
4. Save it as 2007 MS Excel format.
Sorry as I haven't personally tried above but just a suggestion; Please let me know if above works or not?
Regards,
Anuj

Can't export from ECC report to Excel 2010 with more than 65 K Rows

I see several posts about Excel 2007 and the 65K row limitation, but we are rolling out Office 2010 (Excel 2010) and find that it still will not allow download of more than 65,000 from an ECC report screen.
Excel 2010 is supposed to handle over a million rows, and user is receiving an error message that they can not do this.
Will SAP allow download to Excel 2010 of more than 65K rows?
Are there Excel settings, or GUI levels / settings we have to have ?
Ruth Jones

Details from the end User:
When you export line items from any detailed line item transaction in SAP that supports exporting to an excel format, SAP will only allow you to export 65K+ lines, equal to the number of line items that were available in the Excel 2003 format. If you have more than that many line, you have to download the file as u201Cunconverted.u201D While you can then open the u201Cunconvertedu201D file in excel, it is not properly formatted correctly, and may contain page headers and footers that need to be deleted. In Office 2007/2010, excel was extended to 1 million+ line items. When will SAP excel integration be upgraded to expand beyond the old 65K limit on number of exportable line items in excel format?
For example, transaction FBL3N is used to display line items in GL accounts. Line items are routinely exported for further analysis in Finance. GL accounts often have more than 65K line items. When you try to export these results to a spreadsheet format, you will get a message that the list is too large to be exported. However, if you select the unconverted format, you will be able to export the file. Here is an example: (Note that this is only one example with one transaction, there are many more SAP transactions that have this same issue.)
From the Menu, she if following the path List --> Export --> Spreadsheet
Receives the pop-up box entitiled: "Export List object to XXL", with words, "An XXL list object is exported with 71993 lines and 20 columns.   Choose a processing mode". Radio button choices of Table or Ptivot Table. She chose Table.
Then receives a message that (at the bttom of the page), List Object is too Large to be Exported.   Help says this is message PC020. But offers no further information.

Crystal Reports 2011 - excel 2007-2010 export

Hello,
I just upgraded to crystal reports 2011 from crystal reports XI Release 2. I am having an issue exporting to excel 2007-2010 format. When I do an export and then open it in excel, excel gives me an error message that the file is corrupt and if I want to recover the contents. When I try and recover the contents, I am greeted with the error below. I am not sure what to do to fix it and would appreciate any help.
Removed Part: /xl/sharedStrings.xml part with XML error. (Strings) Illegal xml character. Line 3, column 19160.
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/Sheet1.xml part

Hi Marina,
What version of Excel are you using to open the report?
Have you tried creating a simple report and exporting it? It's possible something in that report is causing the problem.
Good luck,
Brian

Can you open a report in Excel/Word desktop instead of the web pugin?

using run_report_object( and web.show_document,
how or can you get a report to open in the desktop/full version of MS Excel/Word instead of the web plugin versions?
I can get the browser to open a report in pdf with my desktop adobe reader, but not with an rtf or xml/delimited desformat.
Currently I don't pass a mimetype when opening as a pdf, but I do pass one in the url when i am destypes of xml, delimited and rtf,
as this is the only way i have found out how to open the reports in word/excel.
I'm in the process of upgrading from forms 6 client/server to 10g developer suite, so this is my try with a web based system.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or where I should look.

What you could try is downloading the report to the client pc using WEBUTIL_FILETRANSFER.URL_TO_CLIENT, then open the locally save file using something like:
CLIENT_HOST('cmd /c rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "localfilename"');

Problem Exporting Webi report to Excel in Edit mode

I have posted this question on BOB forum [http://forumtopics.org/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=189429&sid=8539bfcc4dbbf782ba1a9950085373ed] and found no response so I am cross posting here.
I have two environments: Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 and Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3 FP3.6. On both instances when I open reports in web intelligence and try to export it to excel (using Save to my computer as Excel) I will get a "file download" dialog box asking me if I want to open, save or cancel. However when I am in Edit mode I get the same options to save/open only in the first instance(SP2), what I get in sp3 is a somewhat different "save docuemnt" dialog box (with a save as type all files not explicitly excel), doesnt allow users to open at all. I need your help to get the file download option to open/save when i export reports to excel in the second instance too. BTW it works fine for PDF export.
Thanks.

Please check if matches this behavior and if the suggested solution works
[1467147 - Neither File Download dialog box is shown, nor error ERR_WIS_30271 occurs when saving the Web Intelligence document as Excel file in Java Report Panel after Binary Stream Maximum Size has been reached |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1467147]
Worth to have a look also to this KBA for higher SP levels
[1665049 - Save behavior is inconsistent in BusinessObjects Enterprise XI3.1 SP4 |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1665049]
PS: Just noticed also that there is a bug ADAPT01568649 for which the option for saving as Excel doesn't appear.
This is fixed in FP3.7
Thanks!

Reg: Download report into Excel file

Hi All,
While downloading the ALV report into excel file(System -> List -> Save -> Local file) or (List -> Export -> Local file), i cannot download full report in to excel. Even though the report contains just 200 rows(I can able to download about 90 lines).
Some reports can able to download all the data, even the report is very big. Currently I am blind to solve, anyone can help me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

The most elegant way of downloading ALV display data to EXCEL is displaying the excel in the SAP GUI screen itself. Select "Excel in Place" and then save it from there. Before that you need to let the VB script of SAP know as trusted macro. This is done by opening a blank excel file then go to Tools > options > Security > Macro Security > Trusted Publishers (tab) > (check) Trust access to Visual Basic Project. This activation is one time activation. Once you do this you can see ALV display exactly like in normal ALV with all the colors fields etc.

Wrong download in Spreadsheet (excel 2007) using Query

Hi,
Issue is: When i execute a query in SQ01 with output format as Spreadsheet ( i.e. Excel 2007 -Office 2007 is installed), the date and quantity formats are not displayed in Date and Qty format.
For e.x.
If the date is 01/24/2009 and qty is 34,786, in the spread sheet (Excel 2007) i can see
date as 39837 and qty as 34786. These can be changed manually in the excel file using Format cells. But, the requirement is to have it automatically, after download.
When i try it with Office 2003 (excel 2003), There is no problem. It works well.
Our SAP system-Release 4.7.
Please help me in resolving this issue ASAP.
Thanks and Regards,
Senthil Kumar A

Problems opening downloads on my iMac

I posted this question about a week ago, but never saw a response, and can not find it now.
I am not able to open downloads of software or other things. I know I should just be able to double click on the file and it should open, but it doesn't. When I right click on open with, it says 'do nothing'... and that's exactly what it does.. nothing. I have found the path to the DiscImageMounter, but when I click on that I get an error message saying the file type is not recognized and cannot be opened. Somehow, the preference to open downloads has gotten corrupted.
Can anyone please suggest a fix for this.
Thanks!
