In this Blog-post I'd like to give a few insights on how we process XLSX file by using latest ABAP, which might be quite different than in most other implementations, for example:ABAP and OLE or Excel with SAP - An Overview

By using CL_XLSX_DOCUMENT (available from 2008), it is easy to load file, workbook, sheets, rows and columns. A good example code can be found within class CL_EHFND_XLSX(available on  ABAP AS 752 SP-Level 0004, Software Component S4CORE Release 102, SP 4.).

On the other hand, you can set document format by using IF_IXML_NODE, below example code show how ...
lo_xlsx_doc = cl_xlsx_document=>load_document( <XSTRING of xlsx file> ) 
lo_workbookpart = lo_xlsx_doc->get_workbookpart( ).
lo_wordsheetparts = lo_workbookpart->get_worksheetparts( ).
lo_wordsheetpart = lo_wordsheetparts->get_part( 0 ).
lo_sheet_content = lo_wordsheetpart->get_data( ).
CREATE OBJECT lo_xml_document.
lo_xml_document->parse_xstring( lo_sheet_content ).
DATA(lo_node_datavalidation_init) = lo_node_datavalidations->clone( ).

....
DATA(lo_node_datavalidation) = lo_node_datavalidation_init->clone( ).
lo_node_datavalidation->set_name( 'dataValidation' ).

CONCATENATE ls_validation-column lv_begin_str ':' ls_validation-column lv_end_str INTO
DATA(lv_sqref).
DATA(lo_attrs_map_datavalidation) = lo_node_datavalidation->get_attributes( ).
DATA(lo_attr_sqref) = lo_attrs_map_datavalidation->get_named_item_ns( 'count' )->clone( ).
lo_attr_sqref->set_name( 'sqref' ).
lo_attr_sqref->set_value( lv_sqref ).
lo_attrs_map_datavalidation->set_named_item_ns( lo_attr_sqref ).

lo_attrs_map_datavalidation->remove_named_item_ns( 'count' ).

DATA(lo_attr_showerrormsg) = lo_attr_sqref->clone( ).
lo_attr_showerrormsg->set_name( 'showErrorMessage' ).
lo_attr_showerrormsg->set_value( '1' ).
lo_attrs_map_datavalidation->set_named_item_ns( lo_attr_showerrormsg ).
.....

 

Executable SE38 report.


Main functionalities of this report are:

  1. Download any DDIC table's content into xlsx file

  2. Change value in the xlsx file

  3. upload xlsx file into DDIC table

  4. check changed value in DDIC table.


And the dynamic structure is used in this report. The code style is what I would like to present also.

Main Functionality


Download table content into local excel file (xlsx)


Select action  "Export"

Input existing table , e.g. Table Name T000, File Full Path: c:\demo\t000.xlsx

Change the value of non-key column in xlsx file.



 
start-of-selection.
try.
data(configurationhandler) = new lcl_configuration( filefullpath = conv #( p_file )
tablename = conv #( p_table )
sqlscript = p_sql ).
if p_exp = abap_true.
configurationhandler->export( ).
else.
configurationhandler->import( ).
endif.
catch lcx_configuration into data(configurationexception).
write: / configurationexception->local_text.
endtry.

 

Upload local excel file (*.xlsx) into table


Select action  "Import"

Input existing table , e.g. Table Name T000, File Full Path: c:\demo\t000.xlsx

Empty row will be skip, and table entries will be modified (Insert or Update). It is not possible to delete existing table entry.
start-of-selection.
try.
data(configurationhandler) = new lcl_configuration( filefullpath = conv #( p_file )
tablename = conv #( p_table )
sqlscript = p_sql ).
if p_exp = abap_true.
configurationhandler->export( ).
else.
configurationhandler->import( ).
endif.
catch lcx_configuration into data(configurationexception).
write: / configurationexception->local_text.
endtry.

Exception Handling


You will get exception of structure infliction if xlsx file is not for that table.
    "check file structure, first line of excel file
data(columncount) = firstsheet->get_last_column_number_in_row( 1 ).
data column type i value 1.
"data tablecomponents type cl_abap_structdescr=>component_table.
data(tablecomponents) = me->tablestructure->get_components( ).

data invalidcolumn type string.
types: begin of columninfo,
column type i,
columnname type string,
end of columninfo.
types columnsinfo type standard table of columninfo with empty key.

data columnfromfile type columnsinfo.

do columncount times.
data(cellvalue) = firstsheet->get_cell_content(
exporting
iv_row = 1
iv_column = column ).

append initial line to columnfromfile assigning field-symbol(<columnfromfile>).
<columnfromfile>-column = column.
<columnfromfile>-columnname = cellvalue.

if line_exists( tablecomponents[ name = cellvalue ] ).
delete tablecomponents where name = cellvalue.
else.
invalidcolumn = invalidcolumn && |,{ cellvalue }|.
endif.
column = column + 1.
enddo.

data missingcolumns type string.
loop at tablecomponents reference into data(currentcomponent).
missingcolumns = missingcolumns && |, { currentcomponent->*-name }|.
endloop.


if not invalidcolumn is initial.
raise exception type lcx_configuration
exporting
text = |Find invalid columns: { invalidcolumn } |.

endif.

First row will be the table columns' name
