Setting the excel sheet cell category

Hi all,
I have a program which downloads SAP data in excel sheet using OLE (Function modules cannot be used as its multiple tab download).
I am facing an issue regarding the date fields.The cell category (data type) is choosen randomly so the date is displayed in wrong format.So i need to set the category or the data type of the cell before populating the data in it.
I have placed a part of my code below.
CALL METHOD OF gw_sheet 'cells' = gw_cells
        EXPORTING
        #1 = g_row
        #2 = g_col.
      SET PROPERTY OF gw_cells 'value' = lw_table-data.
Can somebody help me in setting the data type of the cell ( eg,Number,text,date,Currency etc)
Ps :- Actually i need to set the data type as Text for all cells.
Thanks in advance,
Kiran

Try like:
CALL METHOD OF gw_sheet 'cells' = gw_cells
EXPORTING
#1 = g_row
#2 = g_col.
SET PROPERTY OF gw_cells 'NumberFormat' = '@'. "For Text
To get the Property in excel you can take a help of Macro.
Follow this steps:
1. Create a new workbook
2. Tools > Macro > Record a new macro
3. Now, perform your actions i.e. Set the cell format to Text
4. Stop the Macro Tools > Macro > Stop Recording
5. Now Edit Macro to see which property it has accessed.
Tools > Macro > Run (Alt + F8)
Select Your macro and Edit
Here you will see which property you have to set to make it Text.

How to set the Data types of the Excel sheet while exporting details to it.

Hi All,
We are trying to export some order details to the excel sheet from a jsp. It is working fine when the local system language is set to English.
But when i change it to Russian. the details like Line Numbers(e.g: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and so on... ) are getting changed into some other data type(e.g: 01.янв, 02.янв, 03.янв and so on....).
i guess this is mainly due to some data type mismatch, so i tried setting all the possible charset for response in the jsp, but could not succeeded.
This is only for the details which or of decimal format, working fine for the details which are in String type. like Description, Item name etc...
As it is high preference issue for our client, Please help me in this regard ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,

Color to the header of the excel sheet which is downloaded from report

Hi ,
According to my requirement i need to Color to the header of the excel sheet which was getting downloaded from the report output.For the downloading to the excel i am using "EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT" function module.In the report output color is getting displayed.
so suggest me how can i achieve this.
Thanks in Advance,
Kiranmai

Hello,
As far as I know, using EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT directly is not very flexible and it doesn't have any coloring options.
However, if you use OLE manually in your code, you can get color.. check this sample program

Change an Object property based on a value coming from the Excel sheet

hi all
i've been able to bind a value from the excel sheet to my my component
but i want to change a property of an object in my component based on this value at the run time.
during the design time, it works fine
for example, if my value called "_xvisible"
and i use to it to hide some object.
if i set _xvisible during the design time in excel, it works fine in the run mode.
but during the run mode, if the value got changed, there is no affect.
thank you
Amr

Hi
See the xcelsius samples present inside xcelsius SDK. there are examples describing how to bind data which will work at runtime also.
Hope this helps

Getting Error while overiting the excel sheet

Hello,
My requirement is to overwrite the excel sheet instead of appending the next records. What I do to achieve this is drop sheet first then create sheet again. While doing this in execute sql task I am getting errors.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "CREATE TABLE `testtt` ( `case` VARCHAR(10), `case1` VARCHAR(50) ) " failed with
the following error: "Cannot modify the design of table 'testtt'. It is in a read-only database.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not
established correctly.
Same error for drop too. This is working fine when I do locally but when deploy it on server I get this type of errors. I assume this might be issue with accesses.
Please suggest me.
Ramu Gade

Hi Naveen,
Thanks for your reply. I am dropping the excel sheet and then creating the excel sheet and then exporting the data from database to this sheet. The whole idea is to avoid appending of the records to this sheet, it should be new records all together.
I am not sure if deleting the entire excel file and then creating the excel sheet will work. And other thing is that it works locally but when I point that package in my sql agent job then it fails with above error that I have mentioned in my first
conversation.
Please suggest.
Regards.
Ramu Gade
Why not create a excel template before hand which you can copy,rename and use each time. This will avoid appending records each time
See this as an example

How to specify the excel sheet you wanted while using Active X

could anyone tell me how to name or append to specific the excel sheet? i do not know where and how to set the path for it.

Hi Gorka, could you describe a bit more, on the setting of page before or after adding? Do you use a string or numeric to set the parameter, and if i want the datas to be set to say, workbook (project.xls), sheet 2, how would you set it? I tried to use index, rather than add method, and when i set the index to 0, the datas will be at sheet 1, and for other index numbers, there would be an error of code 1.

Error while opening the EXCEL Sheet from a Report Program

Hi All,
I am getting an error saying 'SYLK: File Format is not valid' when my program is trying to open an excel sheet. I am using the function module WS_EXCEL to download it to excel sheet.
Following is the code:

a00_excel contains the data that is to be downloaded into the excel sheet. I used the same code in the other program it is working fine. If you see in the type declaration for C5 its 70 characters, i tried putting it as same as others to 20... still it doesnt work.

Upload Journal Voutures of customer master from the Excel sheet using BAPI

Hi experts,
Can U have any sample program so that it can help me for my coding.

Hi,
You need write the abap program in the following manner,
1. Read the data from the excel sheet and then enforce the checks if at all any in the new program.
2. Fill all the parameters of the BAPI *BAPI_CASHJOURNALDOC_CREATE *.
3. After the above BAPI call, you need to call another *BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT *.
4. Once Transaction commit bapi is successfully executed then only you will get the document number.
Please follow all the above mentioned steps then you can create the Journal Voutures migrated from an excel sheet to SAP successfully.
Thanks,
Mahesh.

can i directly modify the excel sheet based on my requirement without using internal tables in between.
like excel ->internal table-> modified internaltable-> excel.
Edited by: Sravani Bellana on Dec 18, 2008 5:46 AM

Hi sravani,
true that we need to specify the rows and columns,
I have worked on such applications i shall describe the possibilities and then you can find the necessary option,
1) Function module:SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT .
it needs
file path p_file type rlgrap-filename and
i_tab_sap_data (the internal table name).
2) Function module : MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT
it needs
file path p_file like RLGRAP-FILENAME
data_tab (int_data "internal table with data)
fieldnames (int_head "internal table with header)
3) if the download application is a one time then go for the following option:
write the program to display the data in the internal table on the screen.
execute the program.
type %pc on the command bar and try downloading using the options displayed.
hope any one of these work out.
get back if you till have any clarificatrion
thanks

Hi Chetan,
CALL FUNCTION 'WS_DOWNLOAD'

      filename                = w_file_path
      filetype                = 'DBF'                       "declare the File type as DBF then leading zeros will appear

      confirm_overwrite       = 'X'
    TABLES

How to trigger the workflow from the excel sheet

hello friends,
my problem is that i should trigger the workflow from a excel sheet which contains a list of appraisers and appraisees.how to do this. can anyone help on this.
thanks.

Hi Murthy,
If you are asking if a workflow can be started on R/3 while in Excel - may be possible if you can develop some fancy macros that can make RFC calls to an ABAP function module. I won't even attempt to travel that route.
Save the excel sheet as CSV or Tab delimited file and process it using ABAP. You can use the WAPI function module SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT (Rel 4.7)to start the Workflow by raising the relevant event. In earlier releases, see FM SWE_EVENT_CREATE.
Please do keep in mind there could be performance and response time issues for dialog users of the system if you are going to start several workflows using a report program.
Cheers,
Ramki.
