Problem: User has problems to export ALV Grid to Excel...

Former Member — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 08:35:55 GMT

Hello experts,

I have a very strange problem with an single user: when she tries to export ALV Grid data from SAP into Excel by List/Export/Spreadsheet, she's only able to export this to an xml-based file on her local client, every other user gets the popup to choose the spreadsheet format (XXL...).

What I did so far:

- Look up Excel Makro Security --> the same as on other desktops

- SAP GUI Patch Level --> the same as on other desktops

- Test with an different user on her desktop on SAP Report S_ALR_87012284 --> it worked perfectly

- User parameters are the same as for the test user

- Security regarding ALV is the same (S_GUI ACTVT = 61...)

Has there ever been a similar problem to anyone else?

Many thanks in advance for your feedback!

Hi ,

This problem looks very weired. Just try running that FM from SE37 from the same system and see that what is happening there.... if the problem is similar then it is not the problem of your report and some patch may be missing in that system.

Well, the local key user told me that she has this problem with every report using the ALV Grid (even the SAP standard TCs), so from my point of view this is some kind of a user related problem in SAP...

Try debugging side by side by logging in with 2 different user id. (Start debugging after pressing download to Excel) and see what are parameters passed to FM for popup OR condition checked before pop up.
