Export into excel, problem with encoding

Former Member — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 14:46:01 GMT

Hi experts,

I want to save my alv content into a local file type spreadshit then when I open my excel table I see very the data in a very strange order. Everything is in the wrong place and the columns are mixed up.

What could be the problem?

Hi,

If your problem is the one I'm thinking about, you have all your date and amount fields moved to the right of your sheet instead of being displayed at their normal place.

These fields are the ones where a format conversion is needed when exporting data to excel.

As far as I know, the export is completely standard so I think you should look for an OSS note regarding this issue (if there is one...).

Regards,

Nicolas

Use the FM - ALV_XXL_CALL. here is the sample -

REPORT ZSKC_ALV_XXL.

TYPE-POOLS : KKBLO.

DATA : ITAB LIKE T100 OCCURS 0,

T_FCAT_LVC TYPE LVC_S_FCAT OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,

T_FCAT_KKB TYPE KKBLO_T_FIELDCAT.

START-OF-SELECTION.

Get data.

SELECT * UP TO 20 ROWS

FROM T100

INTO TABLE ITAB

WHERE SPRSL = SY-LANGU.

CHECK SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

Create the field catalog.

CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'

EXPORTING

I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'T100'

CHANGING

CT_FIELDCAT = T_FCAT_LVC[]

EXCEPTIONS

INCONSISTENT_INTERFACE = 1

PROGRAM_ERROR = 2

OTHERS = 3.

CHECK SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

make sure you pass the correct internal table name in the field catalog.

t_fcat_lvC-tabname = 'ITAB'.

MODIFY T_FCAT_LVC TRANSPORTING TABNAME WHERE TABNAME NE SPACE.

Transfer to KKBLO format.

CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_TRANSFER_TO_KKBLO'

EXPORTING

IT_FIELDCAT_LVC = T_FCAT_LVC[]

IMPORTING

ET_FIELDCAT_KKBLO = T_FCAT_KKB

EXCEPTIONS

IT_DATA_MISSING = 1

IT_FIELDCAT_LVC_MISSING = 2

OTHERS = 3.

CHECK SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

Call XXL.

CALL FUNCTION 'ALV_XXL_CALL'

EXPORTING

I_TABNAME = 'ITAB'

IT_FIELDCAT = T_FCAT_KKB

TABLES

IT_OUTTAB = ITAB[]

EXCEPTIONS

FATAL_ERROR = 1

NO_DISPLAY_POSSIBLE = 2

OTHERS = 3.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

ENDIF.

Download a report to excel with format (border, color cell, etc)

Try this program...it may help you to change the font ..etc.

Code:

REPORT ZSIRI NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.

this report demonstrates how to send some ABAP data to an
EXCEL sheet using OLE automation.

handles for OLE objects

Please note that this example maybe slow at filling the excel table

(perhaps four fields per second on a 900 MHz machine - almost 30 seconds

for a short example).

To get the data on properties and methods - there is a bit of smoke and mirrors

going on here; they are EXCEL properties and methods, not sap ones - so you need

to look at excel help to determine how a particular function is structured. then

build the block in sap, as shown in the example.

If you only want to transfer the data to Excel like when you transfer the data from

ALV to Excel simply use the Function Modules:

XXL_SIMPLE_API

If you want more modifications when you transfer it to Excel use:

XXL_FULL_API

The problem origined from the fieldcatalog. Thanks for the advices.
