Uploading excel data to database table

Question

Dear Experts,
                     I have an Excel file which was downloaded from SQL database, now I need to export this data into my 'ztable', for this first I created an internal table of ztable structure and tried to upload into this table through ''TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP".
But I was unable to get data into the internal table(incompatible type), so now I created an internal table of character type fileds now I able to get data to this internal table, but to put this internal table data to actual database table it gives error, here the actual problem is the fields of internal table are getting concated with blank spaces(observed through debug), I unable to condense these blanks also, (I have created an Excel of my own and put data into it and uploaded that data there is no problem working fine but this problem occurs only for the excel downloaded from SQL db)
                   The problem occurs for quantity and currency fields(I tried through standard FMs also to convert data types ), Could plz suggest something..........
                                                                                Thank you
                                                                                Regards

Hi,
To upload excel sheet into database table, define a types which is of same as table fields.
and try it with the function module  TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP
Here is a sample code:
CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP'
        EXPORTING
         I_FIELD_SEPERATOR          ='X'   
          i_tab_raw_data             = fs_truxs( TYPE of  truxs_t_text_data.)
          i_filename                 = '<FILE-PATH>'
      tables
          i_tab_converted_data       = <Internal Table>
       EXCEPTIONS
         CONVERSION_FAILED          = 1
         OTHERS                     = 2
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
      ENDIF.
LOOP AT <internal-table> INTO field string.
INSERT <DATABASE- TABLE> FROM <field string>.
ENDLOOP.
Hope this solves the issue.
