There are many threads already with this question , do a little search at sdn with [upload excel file background|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=uploadexcelfile+background&cat=sdn_all]
Basically, the FM you call use Sapgui functions to access a local drive of your workstation and call Excel, Three reasons that result in a failure in background mode.
