YOu can use the GUI_DOWNLOAD function module.

Once you have the data in the internal table, you can either display it as a report or download it to the excel sheet as per the selection in the selection screen.

Hi Mohan,

shell it be downloaded as an excel-file, or shell excel be started witrh the

content of your ALV-Itab?

hi you can use GUI_DOWNLOAD FM in END OF SELECTION event to do this kind of task but the problem is you cannot run this FM in background mode

Hi,

Hi Mohan,

<b>If you only want to transfer the data to Excel like when you transfer the data from

ALV to Excel simply use the Function Modules:

XXL_SIMPLE_API

If you want more modifications when you transfer it to Excel use:

XXL_FULL_API

Often we face situations where we need to download internal table contents onto an Excel sheet. We are familiar with the function module WS_DOWNLOAD. Though this function module downloads the contents onto the Excel sheet, there cannot be any column headings or we cannot differentiate the primary keys just by seeing the Excel sheet.

For this purpose, we can use the function module XXL_FULL_API. The Excel sheet which is generated by this function module contains the column headings and the key columns are highlighted with a different color. Other options that are available with this function module are we can swap two columns or supress a field from displaying on the Excel sheet. The simple code for the usage of this function module is given below.
