Hi experts,

When download web dynpro data to excel works fine however the company logo cannot be embed in the excel.

As I cannot find solution anywhere on this topic.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Requirement:

On web dynpro screen, press "download" button, download the data (include company logos(image)) into excel

Solution:

I've tried below 2 solutions, but it didn't work.

Soltion 1->only work for SAP GUI,for web dynpro, when calling function module DOWNLOAD_WEB_OBJECT, a short dump "Exception condition "NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI" triggered" will be triggered.

1) Upload excel template to SAP server with SMW0

2) Calling function module DOWNLOAD_WEB_OBJECT to download the excel template

3) Use OLE2 method write the data to excel

4) Close excel

Solution 2:->it works fine,however the company logo cannot be embed in the download excel

1) Convert excel to XML file (as an Xml Spreadsheet (Excel 2003))

2) Convert XML into string

3) Convert string to Xstring(binary data)

4) Calling method "wdr_task=>client_window->client->attach_file_to_response" to download excel

RETURN.
ENDIF.

LOOP AT lt_mime ASSIGNING <mime>.
lv_mime_file = lv_mime_file && <mime>-line.

ip_value = 'Fruits 123566666' ).

CREATE OBJECT lo_writer TYPE zcl_excel_writer_2007.
lv_xdata = lo_writer->write_file( lo_excel ).

lv_filename = 'download7878787878.xls'.
lv_mime_type = 'EXCEL'.
wdr_task=>client_window->client->attach_file_to_response(
i_filename = lv_filename
i_content = lv_xdata
i_mime_type = lv_mime_type ).
