Report Painter Report- Export to Excel

Hi Gurus,
How to export report painter report to excel.
I could not use the following methoads
1. Under Settings Option, Office Integration, MS Excel is provided. For Secutity reasons, it was blocked. So can't be used.
2. Could not run as backgroud and store in spool, as it immidiately prints to the configured printer.
Any other way to export to excel file?
Thanks
Reagrds

Hi ...
Have selected check box for expert mode and display navigation bar and office integration is it inactive or microsoft excel ?
If you have selected check box for expert mode, you will notice there is an icon export report or simply press Shift + F2.

Report painter report in portal - Excel output in SAP GUI for HTML

Dear sirs,
I need your expertize. I would like to let my users display (Excel in place)/ save the result of my report painter reports into MS Excel. I have found notes 499262 a 314568, but didn´t understand the message (or there is no message:)). Does that mean I cannot use Excel in place together with Report painter and SAP GUI for HTML?
Second question: is there a place (user exit in generated code? I don´t even know what I am looking for) to get the data provided by the report painter engine and send the retrieved data to some custom function (to be able to call the Adobe form, to save it as a text file or any option how to manipulate the resulting data...?).
thank you for your time and effort,
regards Otto

Hi Otto,
You can send print the report to the spool and then use RSTXPDFT4 program to convert this spool to PDF file. Alternatively, you can export the spool to spreadsheet or ASCII file via SP01 transaction.
Additinally, I'm not aware of unability to use Excel output with SAP GUI interface.

hi,
I am able to export my report groups with dependent objects successfully.

IF SY-BATCH = 'X' OR NO_LIST = 'X'. "direct or batch
    SET PF-STATUS 'LIST'.
*****PERFORM TRANSPORT_OBJS USING 'X'. "transport all jobs

How to Audit the Report which is Export to Excel and PDF

Hi All,
Is there any way that we can audit the report which is exported to Excel or PDF and what data the user is exporting to his local computer.
We can audit the scheduled report with output Excel or pdf but i am not sure about the audit for report export activity to excel and pdf.
Thanks & Regards,
Rahul Akurathi

Hi,
You said that you have a new request number when you changed the program in Dev. Release that request and ask your Basis guys to move that transport to Testing Client. The program will be automatically updated in the testing client with the changes you have done in Dev when the transport gets imported in testing.
Reward if useful.
Thanks
Aneesh.

Report Painter Report - Leading White Spaces in Cost Element

When calling up a report painter report, e.g. S_ALR_87013613, with cost element characteristic in Office integration/Microsoft Excel as output parameters, the cost element (row item) is indented with white spaces. The number of white spaces seems to be in relation with summation levels (sub-totals) visible in the left panel. For some cost centres that only have limited transactions, such as no posting to salary account group, there are less levels of summation, meaning less leading white space in cost elements. Is there any way to eliminate or have a fixed number of leading white spaces in cost elements?
We export the report to Excel worksheet for further processing. VLOOKUP function is used to read the cost element into another workbook. The inconsistent number of leading white spaces creates a problem for the formulas to work properly.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Regards,

Hello,
There are different ways of downloading the report to excel. One option is
System ==> List ==> save (to local file)
Please try with other options.
If still not working, then the work around would be
You can put ctrl+H (replace all spaces)
Then text to columns
Hope this works.

Ravi

Hi,
Report Writer enables you to report on data from multiple applications. Using functions such as sets, variables, formulas, cells and key figures, you can create complex reports that meet specific reporting requirements.
The Report Painter is similar to the Report Writer, but is simpler to use.The main components of report painter are characterestics and basic key figure.
The majority of reports end users use in the R/3 System is Report Painter reports. Most of these reports (@ 80+ %) began as Report Writer reports.
The major difference is Report Painter uses a graphical interface (analogous to Notepad and MS Word).
Very few R/3 users employ Report Writer however, many still use, modify and develop reports using Report Painter. Report Painter permits complex groupings and drill-down reporting very useful for such applications as FI-CO and SD. It can also be used interactively allowing users to enter variables for specific steps; thereby permitting drill-across' functionality.
However, Report Painter does have its limitations; it can display only numeric data (excluding column headers) therefore, short text, etc. is not available. It is much easier (quicker) to modify than ABAP and requires no ABAP expertise however, many combine Report Painter with ABAP reports to fill-in many of the missing pieces. Layout design is archaic and rudimentary ~ therefore; many use Report Painter to retrieve and massage the data' and eventually export it into Excel for end use.

Function Modules to Execute Report Painter Report

Hi Experts,
May I know if there is any way to execute the GR55 Report Painter reports, and get the report result back as a table?
I need this to write a program to export the result to a external system.
Many thanks!!!
Regards,
Chris

I am actually expecting a ABAP way to do so, but not to do that in foreground manually.
I found the solution anyway by using the below sample code:
*&      Form frm_retrieve_data
      text:Get report painter Result
FORM frm_retrieve_data .
DATA:lt_params TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF alv_s_param_wp,
       lwa_params TYPE alv_s_param_wp,
       lwa_msg    LIKE LINE OF gt_msg,
       lv_dcpfm   TYPE xudcpfm.
CLEAR:gt_data,gt_msg.
Set report painter Paramters
lwa_params-pname = '$PARAMETER[$ZRYEAR0'.
lwa_params-pvalue = sy-datum+0(4).
APPEND lwa_params TO lt_params .
lwa_params-pname = '$PARAMETER[$ZBUKRS0'.
lwa_params-pvalue = 'JNPC'.
APPEND lwa_params TO lt_params .
lwa_params-pname = '$PARAMETER[$ZBUKRS1'.
lwa_params-pvalue = 'JNPC'.
APPEND lwa_params TO lt_params .
lwa_params-pname = '$PARAMETER[$ZF-RP00'.
lwa_params-pvalue = sy-datum+4(2).
APPEND lwa_params TO lt_params .
CALL FUNCTION 'CRIF_RW_WEB_CALL_REPORT'
    EXPORTING
      i_report_group = 'JNZ1'
    TABLES
      it_params      = lt_params
      et_data        = gt_data
      et_messages    = gt_msg.
LOOP AT gt_msg INTO lwa_msg
    WHERE type = 'E' OR type = 'A'.
    gv_flg = cns_yes.
    EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
IF gv_flg IS INITIAL AND
     gt_data IS INITIAL.
    gv_flg = cns_nodata.
ENDIF.

Add Report painter report to Role Menu

Hi
I want to add a a report painter report to existing role. In PFCG when I click on Report and select report writer radio button, system prompts me to select report group. When I select this option, system does not show all the reports available within this group so that I can select the one which I want to add and have system generate transaction code Y_DEV_99* for this report. How Can I add report painter report to a role have system generate trans code for it??

Marthinsh,
I am aware that you can export/import or transport the reports in themselves - but not their names. In a way I never clearly understood, they are not attached to their names as such.
But then ... we do agree, you can only authorise by group.

Report Painter Report Performance Issue

hi,
My client facing the problem with Report painter reports , almost all the reports taking much amount of time to execute . we are Using 5.0 version tables FAGLFLEXT and CSSS . i have some doubts report index is the cause for this or any other reasons can any one help me in this regard,
thanks in advance
sasidhar.A

Hi,
just create a proper index and performance will increase. There are some SAP OSS notes who deal with this (for example field "client" should be added if'm not mistaken).
We did the same on profit center tables with huge performance increases

Profit center group number on the report painter report.

Hi,
We have a client requirement where we have to develop Profit center by Functional Area report by using report painter report functionality, however we are able to bring profit center group description on to the report as per the requirement, but not able to get profit center group number displayed on the report.
Can anyone please advice me if we can get the Profit center group number displayed on the report in Report painter report. Else let me know if we can get the requirement met by an ABAPER.

Hi.
First of all, through transaction GS01 create a set ID for profit centers.
Give table GLPCT, let the set type be the default (basic set) and give field name RPRCTR. Then define the range of profit centers you want. If you want all the profit centers give * in the "from value field".
Then create a variable through transaction GS11. Give table and field as above, choose variable type set and at the default set field choose the set you created.
Finally, at report painter go to Edit/General Data Selection and select profit center.
Check both flags (for entering sets and variables) and give at the form field the variable you've made.
Now the progit center group will be available in the selection screen with default value the set you've made.
Regards

Issues in Report Painter Reports

Dear All,
We are on ECC 6.0. We are using some Report Painter Reports and we are facing the following 2 issues:
1. Authorization
For some of the Profitability Reports, we are facing authorization issues. e.g. If I do not need a user to view the profitiability of a particular Business Area to which he does not belong to then I should be able to restrict the same via authorization. However, I do not know where to maintain such authorization objects in Report Painter Reports
2. Financial Statement Version
We have created a Cash Flow Statement by using the Report Painter. We have created a Form whereby we have assigned GL Accounts to some characteristics and Financial Statement Version Item to others. However, when we execute the report, we can see figures for only those items where we assigned the GL Accounts and not for those items where we assigned FSV Items.
Thanks,
Shalin Shah

Hi,
1: search SAPNET with search terms "report painter, authorization", guess you find some useful notes.
2: Try T-code KE5B to convert Financial Statement Verison sets to sets that can be used in report painter.
Best regards, Christian
