GUI_UPLOAD for Excel file read

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am transferring excel sheet content to internal table, for which I am using GUI_UPLOAD function module. It is successfully reading, but I am getting ##### values instead of text values. I am getting more than expected lines also. My code is below.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = w_file_url

FILETYPE = 'DAT'

HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'

tables

data_tab = t_uploadeddata

I used my file type as 'ASC' and 'BIN' also. Can anybody help me?

Thanks and regards,

Venkat

the function module gui_upload, accepts the filename as a string variable....

hence do the following

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-T01.

PARAMETERS : P_FILE TYPE RLGRAP-FILENAME DEFAULT 'D:\Example.txt'.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.

data : w_file type string.

w_file = p_file.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = W_FILE

FILETYPE = 'ASC'

has_field_separator = ' '

tables

data_tab = FILE_ITAB

EXCEPTIONS

FILE_OPEN_ERROR = 1

FILE_READ_ERROR = 2

NO_BATCH = 3

GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER = 4

INVALID_TYPE = 5

NO_AUTHORITY = 6

UNKNOWN_ERROR = 7

BAD_DATA_FORMAT = 8

HEADER_NOT_ALLOWED = 9

SEPARATOR_NOT_ALLOWED = 10

HEADER_TOO_LONG = 11

UNKNOWN_DP_ERROR = 12

ACCESS_DENIED = 13

DP_OUT_OF_MEMORY = 14

DISK_FULL = 15

DP_TIMEOUT = 16

OTHERS = 17

.

IF sy-subrc 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

hi,

try out the following function module...

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 = t_upload[]
  EXCEPTIONS
    conversion_failed = 1
    OTHERS            = 2.

Thanks

Hi,

Better use 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP' or KCD_EXCEL_OLE_TO_INT_CONVERT or ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE instead of GUI_UPLOAD.

Definetly your problem will be solved.

PS: serach the FM name on the forum or on the net for the code snippet ,you get plenty of them
