Incorrect result using the function ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE

[Former Member]

I have used the function ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE to load a Excel sheet on an internal table and the function returns the following result:

Row Col Value

0001 0001 902000100 A601 K 627542130 021 AGARDUN ZMAS 673 EU

0011 0001 902000110 A611 O 627542140 031 AGARDUN ZMAS 893 EU

That is to say, the excel sheet has nine columns, and the function thinks that only has 1 column.

I have checked the function with the same file in other computers, and the result has been the correct one, that is to say, the function returns the value of the column in its corresponding column:

Row Col Value

0001 0001 902000100

0001 0002 A601

Hi Garduño,

1. U want to upload data from EXCEL

into internal table.

2. and u are using ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE.

3. But We cannot do this direclty !

*----

---

For uploading purpose :

6. There are TWO options.

a) either save the excel to TAB Delimited file,

and use GUI_UPLOAD to upload the data in internal table.

b) use FM for excel purpose.

7. a) is easy and recommended

8. b) there is a FM for it,

but we have to apply some more logic

bcos the FM uploads data of excel

in the intenal table,

CELL BY CELL

9. afTER THAT , we have to convert this cell by cell data,

into our format of internal table.

10. use this code (just copy paste in new program)

(it is tried wit T001 structure data)

(it will AUTOMATICALLY based upon the

fields of internal table,

convert data from cell by cell,

to that of internal table fields)

REPORT abc.

*----

-

---

DATA : ex LIKE TABLE OF alsmex_tabline WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA : t001 LIKE TABLE OF t001 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA : cmp LIKE TABLE OF rstrucinfo WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA : col TYPE i.

DATA : col1 TYPE i.

FIELD-SYMBOLS : .

DATA : fldname(50) TYPE c.

*----

-

---

CALL FUNCTION 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'

EXPORTING

filename = 'd:def.xls'

i_begin_col = 1

i_begin_row = 1

i_end_col = 100

i_end_row = 100

TABLES

intern = ex

EXCEPTIONS

inconsistent_parameters = 1

upload_ole = 2

OTHERS = 3.

BREAK-POINT.

*----

-

---

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_COMPONENT_LIST'

EXPORTING

program = sy-repid

fieldname = 'T001'

TABLES

components = cmp.

*----

-

---

LOOP AT ex.

AT NEW row.

IF sy-tabix = ex-value.

ENDLOOP.

BREAK-POINT.

Hi please use the following FM

This will solve your problem

<b>TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP</b>

code

TYPE-POOLS : truxs.

DATA : ws_rawdata TYPE truxs_t_text_data.

CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP'

EXPORTING

I_FIELD_SEPERATOR = 'X'

i_tab_raw_data = ws_rawdata

i_filename = filename

TABLES

i_tab_converted_data = (your internal table)

Hi,

I had the same problem and it was solved reinstalling the SAP Front End on the especific computer.

I think that it was a setting problem, because when the System executes the method CLIPBOARD_IMPORT from class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES, the character ASC 009 (Horizontal Tab - "%_HORIZONTAL_TAB") is not recognized.

Regards.

Anderson.
