Procedure documentation Displaying Data with Excel Inplace Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

By default, the data is displayed in the ALV Grid Control view. Alternatively, you can switch to the Excel view. Your data is sent to Excel and displayed instead of the grid. The toolbar of the ALV Grid Control remains in unchanged form; you can continue to use the functionality provided in the Excel view as well.

Prerequisites

To display the Excel Inplace view, you must have Excel installed on your computer.

Procedure

To display the data in Excel, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text  ® Excel Inplace.

In full-screen mode, choose Views  ® Microsoft Excel.

Result

Your data is sent to Excel and displayed there instead of in the grid. The information and settings are transferred from the grid view and displayed in the format sheet. When you do so:

     The column headers are copied over

     The column sequence and the column width are copied over

     The lead columns are displayed in turquoise

     Totals and subtotals from the grid view are copied over and displayed in the same way (see display of totals and subtotals)

In addition to the displayed Format sheet, other sheets are provided:

     Header (only of significance in full-screen mode): In this sheet additional header information is displayed above the list data

     Pivot: This sheet provides you with the pivot table for the list data

     Sub1-Sub10: In these sheets you will see only the subtotals for the corresponding subtotal level

     RawData: The list data is displayed without any other information, such as lead columns, header information, totals or subtotals.

     RawHeader (only of significance in full-screen mode): Only the header information is displayed.

These sheets are based on the default templates delivered by SAP. Mit Template wird die Vorlage für die Excel-Sheets bezeichnet. You can also define your own or cross-customer templates according to your needs in which you add a company logo to the sheets, for example. See Managing Templates.

Caution

You should not change the data in the executed sheets. If you want to edit the data, first create your own worksheet using Insert  ® Table. Changes that you make to the data will not be copied to another view if you change the view again.

The functions of the ALV Grid Control toolbar that are offered are also available in Excel. The changes that you make using the ALV Grid Control toolbar are copied to the new view when you switch.
