I have a requirement where in we need to upload vendor master data into SAP.
The data is available in excel format. But the excel sheet was created in openoffice s/w and client is not allowing
us to install MS-Office so that we cut and paste the data by creating anexcel file.

Hi !
you can use the Function module TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP to upload xcel file to internal table
please go through the code below.
REPORT zupload_excel_to_itab.
TYPE-POOLS: truxs.
PARAMETERS: p_file TYPE rlgrap-filename.
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_datatab,
col1(30) TYPE c,
col2(30) TYPE c,
col3(30) TYPE c,
END OF t_datatab.
DATA: it_datatab type standard table of t_datatab,
wa_datatab type t_datatab.
DATA: it_raw TYPE truxs_t_text_data.
At selection screen
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'

field_name = 'P_FILE'

I_FIELD_SEPERATOR =
i_line_header = 'X'
i_tab_raw_data = it_raw " WORK TABLE
i_filename = p_file
TABLES
i_tab_converted_data = it_datatab[] "ACTUAL DATA

IF sy-subrc 0.
MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.
END-OF-SELECTION.
