Excel Returns Blank Workbooks in SAPGUI

Excel Returns Blank Workbooks in SAPGUI

Don’t you hate it when you’re trying to view a report as a spreadsheet in SAPGui and it returns a blank workbook?  The problem could be due a security settings inside of Excel that is preventing the data from being displayed.  It is real easy to fix.  Use the following instructions for your version Microsoft Office.

Office/Excel 2003:

Open Excel

Tools -> macro -> security
Excel2003_macro_security

Security Level tab:

make sure level is set to “medium”
Security_tab_medium

Trusted Sources tab:

Check the box beside “Trust access to visual basic project.”
Security_Trusted_Publishers

Office 2007:

Click the Office button.  Click Excel Options.
2007_Excel Options

Click on Trust Center -> Trust Center Settings

Check the box beside “Trust access to VBA project object model”
2007_Excel Trust VBA

Close Excel and try to view your report again.  The workbook should no longer be blank and it should be populated with the correct data.

    ALSO having this same problem! Have tried all the different settings. In fact, the user is executing a report and the report will work on one set of data but when executed on another set of data has this problem.
    Reproducible every time on each of these data sets.
    Help! User is VERY frustrated!
