Query output in Excel

Hi ,
I have a job with number of queries. I need that output of the query in an excel format to a location whenever that job runs. Help me out.

>> and there was little explanation behind it <<
There is no need for further explanations. Each component in a system has its own responsabilities.
You should use the right tool for the right job. Calling console apps is not the responsability of the database engine and there are better ways to do that job.
>>
Personally I've found that if you can't integrate a C# library through CLR then using the console is a perfectly legitimate way of getting around that issue.
<<
I would like to know what feature you needed to implement that required xp_cmdshell.
But in this case, getting several queries exported to excel files in a job can be done by invoking the console app from the SQL Server Agent Job. No need for xp_cmdshell at all.
In our organization, we create lots of LOB web applications. Most of them have the option to export the data coming form SQL Server queries shown on grids to Excel files. Guess what? We don't call xp_cmdshell.

you can use Live office, or query as a webservice if you are getting data from universe
if you're getting data from SAP BI query and you have a java stack on your netweaver then you can get the data directly using sap bi connector in xcelsius.

WebGui: Download Query-output to excel

Hi everyone,
We are using ITS 6.20 patch-level 10 (level 16 will follow this week) in combination with R/3 4.70 Ext. 1.0 and we experience some system behavior that is not really user-friendly.
When calling a query (tx sq01) within WEBGui you've got the possibility to get the output as an ALV-List. Within the list you've got a button to download it to a local file as a spreadsheet. But when doing so the user has to confirm several screens for 'technical reasons'.
Does anyone know a way (or a workaround) to avoid this 'technical screens'?
Moreover the downloaded file should be a real XLS-File but it is a tab-separated text-file. Does anyone know how to get the same XLS-ready file within WEBGUI as you can get it in SAPGUI?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Vinzenz

Hi Vinzenz,
I regret that the SAP GUI for HTML is not capable of exporting a XLS-file.
Best regards,
Henning.

SAP Query output download to Excel

Hi All,
Once I export/download Query Output to Excel the fields are not in the order of Actul Query output
Char fields are treated as Key fields and displayed Left side.
As it is a SAP Query where to keep this kind of setting(key columns = 0).?
Thanks in advance and useful answer will be awarded.
cheers!!
Komatsu

when u download data to excel sheet, u can't handle the data from SAP....The data in excel takes excel properties and accordingly data gets adjusted to the formats of excel.
If u need formatting u need to use OLE concepts in SAP from which u can set the formats of Excel Sheet.

Issue with Saving the Query output data in Excel format

Hi,
Recnetly we had upgraded from 4.6c to ECC 6.0.
In ECc 6.0 environment, when user try to export the query output , we are getting only XML option to save the data.
But user want to save the data in EXcel format, he was able to do that in 4.6C.
pleas eprovide some inputs, on this issue.
Thanks,
Sanketh.

I cannot for the life of me imagine, why a link to a post in the 'Business One Forum' where one uses ODBC to transfer query-data to MicroSoft Excel is of relevance to the OPs question, even if the same is not a security issue.
Never mind. [note 40155|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/402155] deals with various symptoms in the ALV-Excel combination as as of release 4.6C. There are various others, mostly in components BC-SRV-ALV and BC-ABA-LI - also: I remember that when we upgraded from 4.5B to 4.7C there was an issue with Excel-templates -> the solution was in the release notes somewhere. So, in addition to SMP you might want to check the release notes and/or upgrade guide for solutions.
And yes, moderators ... this is not a security issue, this should go to ECC-Applications/Upgrade.

Is it possible to display a date as (DD-MON-YYYY) in excel output using excel template in xml publisher

Is it possible to display a date as (DD-MON-YYYY) in excel output using excel template in xml publisher where date should be displayed as date only not string.

I've tried to use hierarchy node variables, but it seems like you can't specify a attribute of the hierarchy such as level. So with the WBS hierarchy, if you create a hierarchy node variable, you specify the WBS value to select (If I understand this correctly). I wish I could instead specify "give me all the WBS nodes that happen to have the value of the level attribute greater or equal to 3. If I understand Juergens post, he is saying make security access so that only certain WBS levels can be returned in the query. I suppose we can try that, but that would then preclude getting the level 1 and 2 in the future if the authorization is global.

To download the query output to falt file

Hi all,
i have a query which i know will give more than 65k records as the output for a selection.
i cannot run this query in excel due to its limitation.
if i run on web i cannot download this as downloading is happening to excel file only.
The customer ideally wants to download the query result to a text file(csv,tab-delimited etc) which inturn it will upload to MS-Access.
How do i achieve this?
SAP has given response use try using these options:
1.open interfaces to receive the output of a query via the MDX language.
2.open hub tool as it is designed for big amounts of data.(i suppose this is not possible as i want to download query output not the data target contents)
how do i achieve my scenario with option 1?
Are there any alternatives??
Any useful help will be rewarded.
Regards,
Dhanya.

how can i remove all this?

Reports - output to Excel - does not format the "Broken by" rows correctly

Choosing the "break by" column clause while building one of the
wizard based reports works great when you are displaying the
reports in the default HTML mode.
So, my query actually returns a denormalized return set with
multiple rows containing the same fields on certain columns.
This works great with the default format, since the repeated
fields/rows are nulled and I get a neat report.
However, the same thing, if I choose to output in excel, I get
the original denormalized output into the excel document instead
of the null fields for the duplicate fields/columns
It looks like it sends the result set directly to the excel
before allowing the Report UI formatting to take effect. This
is a big issue for us, since we promised the client that we
could get them excel outputs easily, when it does not really
work the way you would expect it.
Any suggestions ??
regards
-Ananth

Ananth,
Presently, this is not supported. It is targeted for some future
release. This is a known bug. If you want the bug number then
mail me as it can not be posted here (It is unpublished bug).

Getting ERROR when downloading alv output to Excel

Hello All,
I get a error message when I try to use the standard funtionality to download the alv output to excel.
The current statement only supports character-type data objects.
What happened?
The current ABAP/4 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/4 program.
Error analysis
In statement
   "STRLEN( obj )..."
the argument "obj" can only take a character-type data object.
Source code extract
038620   *   ansonsten entspricht sich min. Ausgabelänge und Ausprägungslänge
038630       else.
038640         if gs_fc-tech_form ne 99.
     >           gs_out-hlplen = strlen( ).
038660         endif.
038670       endif.
In this case, the operand "obj" has the non-character type "I".
Please can anyone put some light on this. It is veru difficult to go through the whole std functionality to download.
Thanks for all support guys!
Sri.

Hi srikanth,
This error comes because the values present in any one of the displayed coloums containing special character like * present before or after the number.... i.e instead of 4 ...**4.
While displaying in the screen it is of no problem. since both *4 are converted into char format (internally) and gets displayed.
But while you download the same throu the EXCEL functionality SAP will intenally convert the same into NUMERIC format. Since 4 is number.
So in that case *4 will cause dump.
*So find out the place in which the value appearing like this *4 and try to correct it.
*Surely it is of Field LENGTH problem. Try to increase the length of the field 4.
It Should WORK.!!!.. else post ur query here.
REWARD POINTS IF USEFUL
