109 Comments

I think that any of us had meet the situation when we needed to create an Excel output from internal table in background. There is a really nice project called
ABAP2XLSX which gives you to possibility to do all you need but in some case you won't be allowed to install ABAP2XLSX at you SAP instance. Don't worry there is a
way to do it, but in older SAP version we will be allowed only to save the file as MHTML excel (like in ALV->Export to Spreadsheet). In newest version we're able save
the file directly to XLSX also. In a method shown bellow you can see that to create Excel file you need to only pass internal table, the rest of the parameters are option
which gives you opurtinity to pass the settings you've made in your program to the output file.

So what am I doing here.... firstly I check if the fieldcatalog was passed. If not then I create it on a base of internal table with usage of cl_salv_table and
cl_salv_controller_metadata=>get_lvc_fieldcatalog. After I finally have the fieldcatalog I create result table with sort and filter criteria if they were passed. To
do that I use class cl_salv_ex_util. At the end result table is transformed to xstring with method cl_salv_bs_tt_util=>if_salv_bs_tt_util~transform. So
you're receiving at the end of the method an xstring file so you can do what you want with it, for example send via mail to the user, or save it on local PC (like in the
example found at the end). The most important is that you can use this method in a background so you can prepare some jobs for your programs and send
results of them to the users!

Importing:

it_fieldcat type lvc_t_fcat optional -> field catalog for list viewer control
it_sort type lvc_t_sort optional -> alv control: table of sort criteria
it_filt type lvc_t_filt optional -> alv control: table of filter conditions
is_layout type lvc_s_layo optional -> alv control: layout structure
i_xlsx type flag optional -> create xlsx file?

Changing:

ct_data type standard table -> our internal table

Exporting:

e_xstring type xstring -> xstring with our excel file

Implementation:

data: mt_fcat type lvc_t_fcat.

Hello Lukasz,

thank you for your article.

I have one qustion, do you think the excel file can be created as "read only" file?

Łukasz Pęgiel abapblog.com > Petr Bureš • 22 days ago

Hello Petr,
Unfortunately not. I think you can achieve this only with abap2xlsx.

Hi Lukasz,

Fantastic Blog, is this solution suitable for reading XLS/XLSX files from Application server ?
That would be great if its possible?any workarounds?, because I have requirement to read password protected workbooks from AL11 directly,
which is not possible even through ABAP2XLSX library too.

Cheers,
Suresh Kumar

you cannot read xlsx with this functionality. It's only to write.

Łukasz Pęgiel abapblog.com > eley2077 • 4 months ago

Usually the problem is the way of converting the xstring to binary, but as I don't have Excel 2013 & 2016 I cannot confirm it. Maybe you
can also check in your system if you have other if_salv_bs_xml versions?
case cl_salv_bs_a_xml_base=>get_version( ).
when if_salv_bs_xml=>version_25.
m_version = if_salv_bs_xml=>version_25.
when if_salv_bs_xml=>version_26.
m_version = if_salv_bs_xml=>version_26.
endcase.

thank you 4 ur answer.
I got here the value m_version = 2.6 . also Version 26. I am thinking to Change it to 2.7.
What do u think?

Łukasz Pęgiel abapblog.com > eley2077 • 4 months ago

If you have 2.7 in IF_SALV_BS_XML then I would try :)

eley2077 > Łukasz Pęgiel • 4 months ago

Schlechter geworden. Excel hat die Datei nicht mal geöffnet.

The get_Version method result is 2.6. I chanded it to 2.7. after then Excel could not open the file.

I used fot Converting to binary this Function modul:

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'

EXPORTING

buffer = i_file

TABLES

binary_tab = lt_binary_file.

Łukasz Pęgiel abapblog.com > eley2077 • 4 months ago

Oh, here you can have problem - > the lenght. Add importing output_length = xstrlen( i_file ) to your FM or calculate the
lenght earlier if FM will not allow to use xstrlen directly.
△ ▽ • Reply • Share ›

eley2077 > Łukasz Pęgiel • 4 months ago

hmm, what should i do with the Output_length?
△ ▽ • Reply • Share ›

Łukasz Pęgiel abapblog.com > eley2077 • 4 months ago

calculate the lenght of xstring and pass it there.
△ ▽ • Reply • Share ›

eley2077 > Łukasz Pęgiel • 4 months ago

thank you. it works now.
I made the Calculation bevor I pass the Output_length to the FM alone like this
------------
DESCRIBE TABLE lt_binary_file LINES l_length_of_binary
l_length_of_binary = l_length_of_binary * 255.
--------------
Now I Pass dirctly the Output_length to the FM and it works.
It war my fault.

I should create Excel with more sheet . I have three internal Tables and for everyone i have create xls File.
Now Before downloading, i would create one file excel with 3 Sheets (because i have three internal tables) .

Thanks man

Łukasz Pęgiel abapblog.com > ABAP_JUNIOR • 5 months ago

Hello,
it's not possible to concatenate the xstring in order to get 3 worksheets instead of 3 workbooks. Having more then one worksheet is only
possible when you use OLE or ABAP2XLSX, not with this methodology.

Hi Lukasz,

It's was really a very good article. Thanks for sharing this to everyone.

I had a question on email attachment, Prasad helped me on that part. I am facing a issue now. I ran for two sets of data
1) which has 10K records - result was successful(able to open attachment).
2) which has 30K records - can see the attachment but unable to open it. I get the error as 'Database error for <get data="" from="" kpro=""> <>'. I
am assuming this might be due to large file size. I tried to implement the file ZIP logic, but something went wrong. Can you please suggest me
with the logic or any logic I can implement.

Thanks,
Dheeru.

Łukasz Pęgiel abapblog.com > Dheeru • 7 months ago

Hello Dheru,
It may be that you have some problematic content in one of the cells, so it makes the workbook not readable. It could be also there
limitation of this method. To be honest I was using it always in smaller sets < 5000 entries, so it was working for me correctly.

I doubt that its because the number of entries.

Cheers
Łukasz

Dheeru > Łukasz Pęgiel • 7 months ago

Hi Lukasz,

Yeah, the size was the reason why I was unable to open the file. As I cant send 1 large file, I am splitting up the file into multiple

Very nicely explained and very useful. I was facing a problem while opening xlsx sent through an attachment. Tried your approach of converting
the internal table data to xlsx format and it worked! Thanks a ton for sharing this..

Hi Prasad,

Can you please share me the code, how to send the xlsx as attachement.
△ ▽ • Reply • Share ›

Prasad Patil > Dheeru • 7 months ago

Hello Dheeru,

You can refer Łukasz code upto FM SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY which will give you a binary table. After that use the following
code :

data send_request type ref to cl_bcs.

data document type ref to cl_document_bcs.
data l_document type ref to cl_document_bcs.

data recipient type ref to if_recipient_bcs.

data sender type ref to if_sender_bcs.
data bcs_exception type ref to cx_bcs.
data sent_to_all type os_boolean.

data : mailto type ad_smtpadr,

mailfrom type ad_smtpadr value 'abc@def.com',
gd_spool_nr like tsp01-rqident,
l_attcdoctype type soodk-objtp,
l_atttitle type sood-objdes.

Hi Łukasz,

There isn't the attribute if_salv_bs_xml=>c_type_xlsx (old release).

Instead save XLSX, I have opted for HTML, but besides the table (OK), is exhibited the text: "MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Document-Type: Worksheet
Content-Type: multipart/related; ..."

How can I fix it? Thanks.

Is there another way to sent a XLSX by e-mail?

△ ▽ • Reply • Share ›

Łukasz Pęgiel abapblog.com > Abaper Sap • a year ago

If you don't have abap2xlsx installed then you probably can't. But with MHTML I never had problems. It was always displayed correctly, but
you have to give it MHTM, MHTML or XLS extension, and then Excel will open it correctly.

Abaper Sap > Łukasz Pęgiel • a year ago

Hi, Łukasz.
So, just to be clear, is it necessary install abap2xlsx to use the attribute if_salv_bs_xml=>c_type_xlsx? Abap2xls installation,
change standard objects? Or, which SAP release does the c_type_xlsx exist?
I've thought this solution was applicable in the "case you won't be allowed to install ABAP2XLSX at you SAP instance" ..
△ ▽ • Reply • Share ›

eley2077 > Abaper Sap • a year ago

The Attribute (if_salv_bs_xml=>c_type_xlsx) is a constant . the value is '10'. I think, you can intiate/declare it alone.
△ ▽ • Reply • Share ›

Łukasz Pęgiel abapblog.com > eley2077 • a year ago

Even if you declare it alone, it will not create a XLSX for you and it will throw an error, because in older releases it's not
handled. I can't remember exatcly on which release it was added but definitelly in 7.40 it's there.

And yes this solution is applicable if you can't install abap2xlsx. Anyway you can always create mhtml version in older
releases and excel will read it correctly.

Abaper Sap > Łukasz Pęgiel • a year ago

Thanks, Łukasz, for your help.
I've solved the problem, it wasn't the best way, but ... I've saved a .XLSX using OLE2 and after open/read the binary file and
finally send it by BCS class. This way, the customer can read the .XLSX file on iphone (my initial problem).
Anyway, I will try to convince the customer to install abap2xls.

4/4/2018 ABAPblog.com - Create XLSX/MHTML file from internal table in background

To display the output table I use first:

1-factory method cl_salv_table=>factory(…)

2- then I use the get layout method

Data lo_table TYPE REF TO cl_salv_table.

Data lo_layout TYPE REF TO cl_salv_layout.

Lo_layout = lo_table-> get_layout ().

3- then I set the initial layout variant here

Lo_layout-> set_initial_layout (p_vari).

4- then I use the display method

Lo_table-> display ().

Now I dont want to use the display method, BUT the method

Zcl_abapblog_com => create_xls_from_itab

To generate Excel.

This works well BUT I can not pass the variant p_vari from type SLIS_VARI (disvariant-variant) to the
method create_xls_from_itab.

lt_fcat = cl_salv_controller_metadata=>get_lvc_fieldcatalog(
r_columns = lo_table->get_columns( )
