CALL FUNCTION 'KCD_EXCEL_OLE_TO_INT_CONVERT'

EXPORTING

filename = <filename>

i_begin_col = 1

i_begin_row = 1

i_end_col = 10

i_end_row = 65536

TABLES

intern = <internal table>

This depends on the excel as well.

65536 is the max number of rows in the sheet.

Hi SRK,

Please check this link

SAP Function Module Documentation Repository

(WWW.SE37.COM)

Here u need to give the Function module name then u get description of the function module

and the paremeters of the function module.

For some function modules u get the description in german language.

For ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE u can see

             Description                                                Language
Datenübernahme aus Excel mit OLE - Konvertierung ins interne Format      German

Now click on German. Now u get the Description and parameters in German language.

But for Some function modules u get in English itself.

Ex:

REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY

REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY

HR_READ_INFOTYPE

BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE

BAPI_PRODCAT_GETPRICES

Best regards,

raam
