Create an Excel worksheet (XLS file) using structures of the data dictionary

This blog demonstrates how to create an Excel worksheet based on structures of the data dictionary dynamically. The development consists in create an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file using Document Object Model (DOM) API that can be read on Excel program.

The process is executed following below steps:

  • Create the object and set attributes
  • Get the data reference from header/item structure of the data dictionary
  • Create and render a XML document, defined using DOM API, with the necessary structure that is interpreted by Excel
  • Save a file with XLS extension

Creating a worksheet with the following attributes/functionalities:

  • Author
  • Worksheet name
  • Title
  • Header
  • Item table
  • Sum formula of the numeric fields from the item table
  • Styles
  • Format Cells (Alignment, Border, Font, Number)

The main idea was to create a class that could be inherited by others developments and redefined accordingly with the requirements of them.

The class code and the report sample code to execute the process are on the bottom of the page.

Available methods on the local class:

METHOD DESCRIPTION
CONSTRUCTOR Create object and set attributes: author, title and worksheet
EXECUTE Execute the process to create a XML document and convert it into a XLS file
SAVE_XLS_FILE Display save dialog window and save the XML file as a binary file with XLS extension
RENDER_XML_DOCUMENT Render the document
CREATE_XLS_FILE Create a binary file from a XML table
GET_DATA_REFERENCE Dynamically get the input data
CREATE_XML_DOCUMENT Create the XML document
CREATE_DOCUMENT Instantiate DOM object and create Workbook node
CREATE_STYLE Create a style
CREATE_STYLES Create styles node
DOCUMENT_PROPERTIES Create document properties node and set author value attribute tag
FORMAT_FONT Set font attributes of a style
FORMAT_INTERIOR Set interior attributes of a style
FORMAT_ALIGNMENT Set alignment attributes of a style
ADD_BORDER_TO_STYLE Add border node to a style
FORMAT_BORDER Set border attributes of border node
FORMAT_NUMBER Set number format attributes of a style
ADD_WORKSHEET Add a new worksheet node on the XML document
ADD_TABLE Add a new table node on the XML document
FORMAT_WIDTH_COLUMN Set columns width of the table node based on the structure data elements length
ADD_ROW Add a new row node on the XML document
FORMAT_HEIGHT_ROW Set row height
ADD_CELL Add a new cell tag on the row node
FILL_DATA_CELL Fill the value of a cell
MERGE_CELL Merge cells
DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET Get data dictionary information
FILL_HEADER_ROWS Fill the header values
FILL_ITEM_ROWS Fill the item values
FILL_TOTAL Create Sum formula for each numeric column of the item table
FILL_TITLE Fill the title value on a cell
SET_GRIDLINES Disable grid layout

 

DOM/XML document Interfaces:

METHOD DESCRIPTION
IF_IXML Interface of Factory Object
IF_IXML_STREAM_FACTORY Factory for Streams
IF_IXML_OSTREAM Output Streams
IF_IXML_RENDERER Renderer
IF_IXML_DOCUMENT XML Document in DOM Representation
IF_IXML_ELEMENT Element of an XML Document

 

Further information

DOM – https://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/introduction.html

XML – https://www.w3.org/standards/xml/core

 

This is the layout of the output files after the sample execution:

User Roles (Example using tables: V_USR_NAME/ AGR_USERS)

 

Purchase Order (Example using tables: EKKO/EKPO)

 

Delivery (Example using tables: LIKP/LIPS)

 

Material Document (Example using tables: MKPF/MSEG)

 

To execute the SAMPLE REPORT:

Create a INCLUDE Z_LOCAL_CLASS_CREATE_XLS.

Create a REPORT Z_TESTE_CREATE_XLS.

Run the Report.

 

PS.: When you open the XLS file, a warning message is shown as below:

If you want to avoid this message, the extension must be saved as xml instead of the xls extension.

      Or... could use abap2xlsx. https://blogs.sap.com/2018/06/16/using-abap2xlsx-to-send-alv-table-output-as-excel-spreadsheet-via-internet-email/

      That was my first thought ... that ABAP2XLSX has been re-invented yet again.....

      Evere since ABAP2XLSX came out (2012?) approximately once every three months I see a new blog on SCN about how to programatically create a spreadsheet from ABAP.

      On the other hand, some kind of copy paste abap2xlsx-lite might be useful where it's a pain getting client approval. This is better than some I've seen.

      I agree that this is far better than average.

      I also agree that some organisations have a real problem with using open source (in special snowflake ABAP only, they gleefully use it elsewhere) and so refuse to import ABAP2XLSX, abapGit etc..

      What they are really saying in this case is that as the product is not supported by SAP they will not be able to troubleshoot it because their developers are not good enough to understand ABAP code. They will not phrase it like that, but thats what they mean.

      If a company refuses to accept ABAP2XLSX then they either have to spend a load of money developing something similar, or have their users go without some truly useful functionality(at my place the users cannot live without it now) neither of which are good for the shareholders/stakeholders.

      " their developers are not good enough to understand ABAP code."

      Just saw a recent development on a 7.50 system - literally less than 3 months old. A 4000 line perform is just the first of the issues...

      It's in the transport release BADI. Which I've already got a nice easy to use OO framework for adding new checks - just implement an interface that does the specific check and done. If you don't know where to start, try looking at existing implementation. Or read the documentation. But the sad fact is that the developer team we've got (offshore) simply don't have the skills.

      Very interesting solutions, but i'm not expert, so i have a question:

      • how to color all the cells of a row given a certain condition?

      Hi Mauro,

      with this solution you set the attributes for each cell separately.

      So, if you want to fill a cell with a value or any other attribute like the color, you need to identify what cells you want to use instead of an entire row.

      You can determine the color through the style that you will use on method FILL_CELL, that is called on methods FILL_HEADER_ROWS and FILL_ITEM_ROWS, where you can put your conditions to change the cell color accordingly with your requirements.

      You can see the styles on method CREATE_STYLES. For each style you can use the method FORMAT_INTERIOR, passing the RGB color codes, to change the cell background color.

      Fast and kind.
