Hi Supriya,

One Suggestion: You can save the Excel data file into tab delimited format and use normal GUI_UPLOAD FM.

OR refer sample code.

Use FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE

TYPES:

BEGIN OF ty_upload,

field1 TYPE c length 12,

field2 TYPE c length 12,

field3 TYPE c length 12,

END OF ty_upload.

DATA it_upload TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_upload WITH DEFAULT KEY.

DATA wa_upload TYPE ty_upload.

DATA itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF alsmex_tabline WITH DEFAULT KEY.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <wa> type alsmex_tabline.

CALL FUNCTION 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'

EXPORTING

filename = filename

i_begin_col = 1

i_begin_row = 1

i_end_col = 3

i_end_row = 65535

TABLES

intern = itab.

LOOP AT itab ASSIGNING <wa>.

CASE <wa>-col.

WHEN '0001'.

wa_upload-field1 = <wa>-value.

WHEN '0002'.

wa_upload-field2 = <wa>-value.

WHEN '0003'.

wa_upload-field3 = <wa>-value.

ENDCASE.

APPEND wa_upload TO it_upload.

CLEAR wa_upload.

ENDLOOP.

**********another way*******

TYPE-POOLS truxs.

tables : ztable.

types: begin of t_tab,

col1(5) type c,

col2(5) type c,

col3(5) type c,

end of t_tab.

data : itab type standard table of t_tab,

wa type t_tab.

data it_type type truxs_t_text_data.

parameter p_file type rlgrap-filename.

data ttab type tabname.

at selection-screen on value-request for p_file.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'

EXPORTING

• PROGRAM_NAME = SYST-CPROG

• DYNPRO_NUMBER = SYST-DYNNR

FIELD_NAME = 'P_FILE'

IMPORTING

FILE_NAME = p_file

.

start-of-selection.

CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP'

EXPORTING

• I_FIELD_SEPERATOR =

• I_LINE_HEADER = 'X'

i_tab_raw_data = it_type

i_filename = p_file

tables

i_tab_converted_data = itab[]

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.

end-of-selection.

loop at itab into wa.

ztable-col1 = wa-col1.

ztable-col2 = wa-col2.

ztable-col3 = wa-col3.

modify ztable.

endloop.

Reward points if this Helps.

Hi,

There may be a type mismatch between the value that you are passing to the date field. Data field has to be in this format,

'yyyy' followed by 'mm' followed by 'dd'.

You can provide the value of the field as 'yyyymmdd',

Note- Do not provide special characters in between like '.' or '/' as we usually do.

Best Regards,

Vijay
