This document is to explain how to convert the SALV Tree, created using CL_SALV_TREE class, to an Excel file. There is a standard method to convert the SALV Table, created using CL_SALV_TABLE, into an Excel file. But, I couldn’t find a similar method isn’t available for SALV Tree. There are other solutions available in the market. But, this solution, I felt, has the lowest amount of custom code (~100 lines).
Approach
If you look closely at the SALV Tree output, you may see that, the Tree is essentially a Table itself.
To make a Table to a Tree, the only additions required are Groupings and Indentations. This is the concept I have used here, to create the Excel file – create a table and then add groupings and indentations to it.
Solution
The input for this development is a CL_SALV_TREE object. The code below creates an simple object with name LR_TREE, using common tables. This portion of the code, isn’t part of the solution – it is just used to get ‘test data’ to test the solution.

Ideally, you should be creating the routine to convert SALV Tree to Excel file, as a global method/ function module, so that many programs may reuse it. Which means, that common routine will have to work with the SALV Tree object and extract the data for output, titles, headers etc from it. So, I am regenerating the output table here, using SALV Tree object.
The code starts here….
constants:lc_xlspace type c value ' '. "Hexa value for this field should be 0030
data: lv_level type i,
lv_xlsx type xstring,
lt_table type ref to data,
lr_data type ref to data.
field-symbols: <data> type any,
<table> type standard table,
<str> type any.
lt_nodes = lr_tree->get_nodes( )->get_all_nodes( ).
loop at lt_nodes into ls_node.
lr_node = ls_node-node.
clear lv_level.
do.
try.
lr_node = lr_node->get_parent( ).
add 1 to lv_level.
catch cx_salv_msg.
exit.
endtry.
enddo.
lr_data = ls_node-node->get_data_row( ).
assign lr_data->* to <data>.
if <table> is not assigned.
create data lt_table like standard table of <data>.
assign lt_table->* to <table>.
endif.
assign component 1 of structure <data> to <str>.
subtract 1 from lv_level.
do lv_level times.
concatenate lc_xlspace <str> into <str>.
enddo.
append <data> to <table>.
endloop.
cl_salv_table=>factory(
importing
r_salv_table = lr_table
changing
t_table = <table> ).
lr_table->display( ).
At this point, the table has indentations, but no groupings. So, the next step is to add that to the table. Groupings cannot be directly added to the internal table, it has to be done in the XML file directly. Excel needs 3 identifiers to understand the row groupings.
- The row element in the file, should have an attribute outlineLevel and it should have the value of the level.
- The sheetFormatPr element in the file, should have an attribute outlineLevelRow and it should have the number of levels used in the file.
- The sheetPr element in the file, should have a child node named outlinePr, with an attribute summaryBelow, with value as false. The Excel file created by SAP, doesn’t have sheetPr element, so, with this routine, we will add the new element in the file.
lv_xlsx = lr_table->to_xml( if_salv_bs_xml=>c_type_xlsx ).
data: lr_zip type ref to cl_abap_zip,
lr_xlnode type ref to if_ixml_node,
lr_xldimension type ref to if_ixml_node,

lr_zip->load( lv_xlsx ).

lv_tabix = sy-index - 1.
lr_xlrow ?= lr_xlrows->get_item( lv_tabix ).
*Find the same node in the SALV Tree object
read table lt_nodes into ls_node index lv_tabix.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
lr_node = ls_node-node.
*Find the level of the node
clear lv_level.

*Assign the level to row
lr_xlrow->set_attribute( name = 'outlineLevel' value = lv_levels ).
lr_xlrow->set_attribute( name = 'hidden' value = 'true' ).
endif.
endif.
- enddo.
*Set maximum levels used in the sheet
lv_levels = lv_maxlevel.
condense lv_levels.
lr_xlformat ?= lr_file->find_node( 'sheetFormatPr' ).
lr_xlformat->set_attribute( name = 'outlineLevelRow' value = lv_levels ).
*Create new element in the XML file
lr_xlworksheet ?= lr_file->find_node( 'worksheet' ).
lr_xldimension ?= lr_file->find_node( 'dimension' ).
lr_xlsheetpr = cl_ixml=>create( )->create_document( )->create_element( name = 'sheetPr' ).
lr_xloutlinepr = cl_ixml=>create( )->create_document( )->create_element( name = 'outlinePr' ).
lr_xlsheetpr->if_ixml_node~append_child( lr_xloutlinepr ).
lr_xloutlinepr->set_attribute( name = 'summaryBelow' value = 'false' ).
lr_xlworksheet->if_ixml_node~insert_child( new_child = lr_xlsheetpr ref_child = lr_xldimension ).
*Create Xstring file for the XML, and add it to Excel Zip file
lr_file->render_2_xstring( importing stream = lv_file ).
lr_zip->delete( exporting name = 'xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml' ).
lr_zip->add( exporting name = 'xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml'
content = lv_file ).
lv_xlsx = lr_zip->save( ).
LV_XLSX is the output file. You may download it to your desktop and see how it looks like. Now, with these changes the file Excel file shows groupings and hierarchy.
