• Start the application

create object e_appl 'EXCEL.APPLICATION'.

set property of e_appl 'VISIBLE' = 1.

• Open the file

call method of e_appl 'WORKBOOKS' = e_work.

call method of e_work 'OPEN'

exporting

#1 = p_file.

• Write data to the excel file

do 20 times.

• Create the value

field_value = sy-index.

shift field_value left deleting leading space.

concatenate 'Cell' field_value

into field_value separated by space.

• Position to specific cell in Column 1

call method of e_appl 'Cells' = e_cell

exporting

#1 = sy-index

#2 = 1.

• Set the value

Hi lakshman I added save statement as

call method of e_work 'save'.

bt still not working it wont even close the file.

I added that statemnt before closing workbook.

call method of e_work 'save'.

• Close the file

call method of e_work 'close'.

• Quit the file

call method of e_appl 'QUIT'.

free object e_appl.

Hi Abhijeeth,

the hierarchy is:

excel

-workbooks <- this is more like a collection of files; you cannot save this!

--workbook <- this represents a single file

For saving and closing you have to use the workbook-object!

So add the workbook variable to your code as follows:

call method of e_work 'OPEN'= e_workbook

exporting

#1 = p_file.

And now call the method save and close from this object like:

call method of e_workbook 'save'.

call method of e_workbook 'close'.

The Objekt e_work is like a collection of all workbooks. This is why it has an "s" at the end ( workbooks ).This could not be saved or closed.

Thats all. I hope, this serve well.

Best regards

Thanks Thomas you solved my problem awarding you full points. If you have any related links please forward it to me.

I need to select sheet depending upon sheet name. Right now I am able to select sheet with sheet number and not with sheet name.

I want to know which are the call methods, properties, etc available for excel application.

if possible please provide us some example codes for better understanding.
