Preface – This post is part of the ABAP Programs series.

To perform ABAP excel upload using ABAP report, we need to call a FM ‘TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP’. This FM converts the excel data to ABAP data. Now we can store the same in our internal table and later in our database table. The only mandatory requirement is that the table fields should match the header of excel in a synchronous way, else wrong data will be saved.

Introduction

Many times we need to upload an excel data from our local storage on PC and insert those data into our ABAP tables. This can be easily achieved using ABAP Function Module ‘TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP’. In the given program we convert our excel data into ABAP data and insert those data in our ztable.

Explanation

In the above program, we have implemented the following steps:

  1. Initially, we have defined TYPE-POOLS truxs. TYPE-POOLS have predefined methods that can be reused in multiple programs. Here we are using truxs, that is used later as truxs_t_text_data, a data type.
  2. Now, we have define parameters: p_file. This will be used to take the file location as input.
  3. Later, we have defined variables: t_tab which is a table type, t_upload, wa_upload and it_type.
  4. Now, we have called a function module “F4_FILENAME” to process the file upload.
  5. Then, we have called another function module ‘TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP’ to get the ABAP form of data into an internal table.
  6. Once we have our data in an internal table, then we can easily append it to our data base table using loop.
