Hello Parag,

To upload an excel file into an SAP program try using FM TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP.

To download an excel file to your local drive from SAP program try using FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT.

To Download the .XLSX file:

If you have office '07 installed , it will automatically open similar to xlsx.

and you add the extension as .xlsx, i think it will be downloaded in that format only.
