  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHHSS_HSI010 - Excel parser error: XLSX row &1 is too long. ?

    The SAP error message CM_EHHSS_HSI010 indicates that there is an issue with the Excel parser when processing an XLSX file. Specifically, the error states that a particular row in the Excel file is too long, which means that the number of characters in that row exceeds the limit that SAP can handle.

    Cause:

    1. Row Length Exceeded: The most common cause of this error is that one or more rows in the Excel file contain more characters than the maximum allowed by SAP. This can happen if there are long text entries, especially in cells that are expected to contain shorter data.
    2. Data Formatting Issues: Sometimes, the way data is formatted in Excel (e.g., merged cells, excessive use of formulas, etc.) can lead to unexpected row lengths.
    3. Incorrect Data Structure: The structure of the Excel file may not match the expected format required by the SAP application, leading to parsing errors.

    Solution:

    1. Check Row Length: Open the Excel file and check the length of the rows, especially the one indicated in the error message. You can do this by selecting the row and checking the character count in the formula bar or using a formula to count characters.
    2. Trim Data: If you find that a row exceeds the character limit, consider trimming the data. This can involve:
      • Reducing the length of text entries.
      • Splitting long text into multiple rows or columns if applicable.
    3. Review Data Structure: Ensure that the Excel file adheres to the expected structure required by SAP. This includes checking for:
      • Correct headers.
      • Proper data types in each column.
      • No merged cells or complex formulas that could affect parsing.
    4. Use Alternative Formats: If the issue persists, consider saving the Excel file in a different format (like CSV) and then importing it into SAP, as this may bypass some of the limitations of the XLSX format.
    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support for specific character limits and formatting requirements for the data you are trying to import.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the Excel parser and this specific error message.
    • SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they found effective.
    • Testing: After making changes to the Excel file, perform a test import to ensure that the error is resolved.

    By following these steps, you should be able to address the CM_EHHSS_HSI010 error and successfully import your data into SAP.
