Symptom:
“After the upgrade you do not see the 'spreadsheet option' in the popup window when you click on the Excel symbol or in the Menu option (System/ List/ Save Local File) of any standard report or T-code.”
Reproducing the Issue:
1. Execute the report or T-code.
2. Click the menu path: List
-> Export -> Spreadsheet or Menu option -> System -> List -> Save Local
File.
3. See pop-up box with the various formats to save in:
- uncoverted
- text with tabs
- rich text format
- html format
- in the clipboard
Cause:
“The description "spreadsheet" is renamed to "text with tabulators". The reason for this change is that the result of an Excel file download has never been a true binary Excel export but more like a text file labeled with extension 'xls'.”
Solution:
“Please use the option "Text with Tabulators" as output format. The behavior will be the same despite the description.”
