How to RESET Export to Excel Settings:

Method 1:While in the ALV screen, right click on anywhere inside the ALV grid. If it is an ALV list right click on the blue part.Click spreadsheet.The non-defaulted selection box returns. But the default box may still be marked, don’t forget to unmark it. Then you will have the default Export popup again.

Method 2: While in an ALV screen, enter “&reset_excel”without quotes into the command box. This will reset the Export Popup to default settings.

Method 3: SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN seems to be the most reliable solution. I think it's also the most painful and not something that I want to tell users as there are transactions involved in this.Only if the above two methods didn’t work try this.The following steps should be performed:- Call transaction SE38, enter program SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN, and press F8.- Follow the parameters below:- Select DELETE on the Actions Group- Select DETAILED SELECTION on the General Data:- On Client - your client number- User : <user name>- Hit on EXECUTE.- Press ENTER on the POPUP- If there is an entry in the report that will need to be deleted. Also, make sure that the entry you will delete (for the user) has a value of GUI_ALV_XML_VER on the field Parameter.- Select the line and hit the DELETE icon.- Press Y to continue delete. Press ENTER on the popup.- Then EXIT all the way out of the program.NOTE: When you run program SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN, make sure they are out of any program that they are using for download.
