Great training, thanks. I do have a question on how a TIMESTAMPL-format field ends up in the excel. In an SAP F&R table we have a field showing runtime, defined as DEC 21,7 TIMESTAMPL data element. It can hold e.g. a value of 77,8917920 (where the comma is the DEC separator). bringing this to Excel messes up the result to: 693595-. Any clue how to solve this?
Thanks for this informative video, there is a basic data we need to add in VB module before we add the running script, would you able to share the same?
Thank you so much. In this case you want to get SAP data into an existing excel file. If you want to add SAP data into an existing excel file you need to establish an connection out of Excel. This is possible with a connection directly to the database. In Excel see "Data > Get Data > From Database > SAP HANA". Then you also need to have "Acces Software Downloads in SAP for Me". You can also use ODBC. As an alternative you can download/extract the SAP data into the excel file and use this file as the data source of your excel file (Data > Get Data > From File > From Excel Workbook). I can produce an own video on that. Good hint.
Dank! Dank! One question- How to implement the SAP GUI scripting automation if I need to get Excel extracts each month and the dates to be entered change each month. Let's say, in october, I need an excel extract only for 10/01/2024 to 10/30/2024. But this will change in November.
For this you need to do a second step because sending the excel sheet out of Excel can't be recorded via SAP GUI Scripting and is therefore not in the created VBS file. You can send an excel sheet via e-mail out of excel to people's emails also. Have a look at this: techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/excel/how-to-create-a-macro-that-allows-to-automatically-send-a/m-p/3932382
Thanks. You can record your download within the SAP GUI Scripting as shown in the video. You can stop the recording until your download from several t-codes has been finished. But I recommend to record one SAP GUI Script for each t-code to have it separated.
What do you mean with "SAP screenshots"? You can simply take screenshots with the print key and "Ctl + V" to paste it into a word document. I recommend using the key combination "Windows key + Shift + R" to easily take screenshots of a frame of your screen.
@@ERP-UP I saw a video th-cam.com/video/W_J-9t_mWDU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bSirC1R2_yW5u7sL. Just wondering why we need the SAPGUI SCRIPTING API for this process.
@@bzflowerbee Now I understand it. Thanks for replying. You want to make screenshots with SAP GUI Scripting. Csongor explained it quite well. You are using the SAP GUI Scripting API for some functions you can use for MS Excel and MS Word.
Hello, excellent video!! But I have a question to see if you can help me. What happens when a windows pop-up window appears? the script stops and stops recording it. In order to download the information and not modify the Excel, it is the only way I can do it. Is there any VBA code to put it when the "save as" window appears and make it automatic?
@@andresdavidrodriguezzamero2086 At about 9:35 you export the SAP data and give the excel file a name. The export is not interrupted or you don't have to modify the file.
@@andresdavidrodriguezzamero2086 Now I understand your question. Another user showed me a problem on his system.

Hey boss, I have a profit n loss sap report that I want to export to Excel. The issue is it doesn’t export the entire report only the first page and not the sub headers. What do I have to do to get the entire report into a spreadsheet?
Hey, how do you export the data? Have a closer look at ABAP2EXCEL if you program an own ABAP report with an export function from SAP to Excel: th-cam.com/video/eQ0gJzpfvrc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WbngeqrvxXH9nGZr
would you know how i can change the export from 1:01 format to 9:44 when exporting to spreadsheet? most of my script won't work as it is constantly stuck being 1:01 export view.
You can use the dynpro based file save dialog as shown in the video 9:44. For this you have to implement the SAP note 1974590 and the SAP GUI option When you record your SAP GUI script a dynpro based file save dialog should appear if you don't activate the SAP GUI option "Accessibility & Scripting > Show native MS Windows dialog".
Technically it is possible. Therefore you have to set up a scheduled task within Windows Task Scheduler for the created vbs file. But the SAP GUI has to be open because SAP GUI Scripting runs in foreground. If you really want to export the data in background daily I recommend to create an ABAP program and set up a batch job in the transaction SM36. th-cam.com/video/4eHlIlnx5ds/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
You can use Power Automate instead of SAP GUI Scripting: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/guidance/rpa-sap-playbook/action-based-sap-gui-automation-recorder-overview You can use the Task Schedular to run the VB script at a scheduled time.
Can this be applied to individual SAP table data? If I apply it to different SAP table data, will it not apply to the same data? If so, what should I do? Should I start the record at the beginning of the table data specification?
What do you exactly mean with "individual SAP table data"? In this use case we are using the table EKKO. You can of course do it for other tables. Then you need to record another script or create an own VBA script in MS Excel to select different tables and selection criterias.
In this case you want to get SAP data into an existing excel file. This is possible with a connection directly to the database. In Excel see "Data > Get Data > From Database > SAP HANA". Then you also need to have "Acces Software Downloads in SAP for Me". You can also use ODBC.

If I do not have the record/play script buttons (greyed out) and I am not allowed to use RZ11 transaction, does this mean I am not going to be able to automate the transaction I am looking to?
Unfortunately, yes. But maybe you have access to the development or quality system to create the script and run it in the productive system. If in these systems the record/playback options are also not allowed, then you can align with your SAP Basis team if they can activate it in these systems.

@@shadihemid9313 Is SAP GUI Scripting active in the productive system? If "just" the record script button is greyed out, then you can't record SAP GUI scripts.

If this is also not possible, check the *scripting* profile parameters. You can also align with your SAP Basis department to active the *scripting* profile parameters in transaction RZ11.
That is possible. Depending on your VBS file you have to be logged into your SAP system. Try to run the vbs file without the task scheduler. If that is possible your vbs file can also be executed via the task scheduler.
