Problem Downloading data to Excel

[PS_1978]

Hi,

I am downloading data from internal table to Excel file. there are 3 records in the internal table. Material Number, Material Description, Characteristic Number and so on.

I have used the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download for downloading.

table has following data for material number -B1AP, -C4CR, -T1HB. When I see the data in excel, i can see the value -C4CR correctly. But not the other two. The other two values are replaced by string #NAME?. If I see the value in cell, it is =-B1AP. The value is concatenated with =.

Could some one help me in resolving this issue?

Best Regards,

Phani.

Hi,

Try this

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = 'c:\temp\abcd.xls'

filetype = 'ASC'

write_field_separator = 'X'

confirm_overwrite = 'X'

TABLES

data_tab = t_output

fieldnames = t_field

EXCEPTIONS

file_write_error = 1

no_batch = 2

gui_refuse_filetransfer = 3

invalid_type = 4

unknown_error = 6

header_not_allowed = 7

separator_not_allowed = 8

filesize_not_allowed = 9

Hi Sivapuram,

Try to use FM "TEXT_CONVERT_SAP_TO_XLS" with the use of this function module you can download long texts and headers and data..

Excel does not understand character starting with negative.

It will show invalid name as an error.

Is your material number actually starting with -.

Hi Lalit Mohan Gupta.,

Yes, my material number is starting with '-'. But C4CR is also starting with '-'. This is downloaded correctly.
