How to export an image as part of ALV column into excel?

[former_member111748]

In an expense program, we have an attachment icon in one column which when double clicked, opens another popup from where the attachment image can be downloaded. However, we are trying to figure out if there's a way to download this attachment image when ALV exported to excel, so that the image shows up in the column instead of just the picture of the icon (which is how it works right now).

Is this practical?

What will be the performance issues, if any associated with it?

UPDATE: This requirement was scrubbed by our business, so I am not spending any time investigating this but thanks for your recommendations.

standard download feature of ALV cant download image, icon, checkbox...if you want to do it, first you have to handle download event and download to excel by yourself. With excel, i suggest using cl_xlsx_document. search about it you could find some how-to blog .
