SAP GUI script: read table or data from ALV Grid

Question

I'm currently creating an automation script where data from excel will be searched in SAP table.

I tried to record the steps in SAP but it only gives me this:

session.findById("wnd[0]").maximize
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/lbl[18,15]").setFocus
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/lbl[18,15]").caretPosition = 10

Which I know that it tells me the current cell address.

When I tried to check the table name (F1), it gives me the name of "RFPOSXEXT".

I'm not sure how I can proceed for me to search the values that I need in the SAP table.

My question is, how will I set the table and loop through the rows of the table until I find the text that I'm looking for?

I believe it will also only allow me to search for the visible rows.

Below is the table that I have in SAP. And I will be looping to the rows of Assignment, Document number and Quantity that if it will match to the "textToFind" in excel then I will be able to edit the text for each item matched.

Let's assume you display the data in a ALV Grid and you have the session ready as you write in your post. Then the following code will copy the data from SAP into excel. You have to adjust the code according to your needs

    Dim wks As Worksheet
    Set wks = " your worksheet here ..."

    Dim Table As Object
    Dim cols As Long
    Dim rows As Long
    Dim i As Long, j As Long

    Set Table = Session.FindById("wnd[0]/usr/cntlGRID1/shellcont/shell/shellcont[1]/shell")

    rows = Table.RowCount - 1
    cols = Table.ColumnCount - 1

    Dim columns As Object
    Set columns = Table.ColumnOrder


    Dim arrCol() As Variant
    ReDim arrCol(cols)
    For j = 0 To cols
        arrCol(j) = (CStr(columns(j)))
    Next
    With wks
        .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(1, cols + 1)).Value = arrCol()
    End With

    For i = 0 To rows
        For j = 0 To cols
            arrCol(j) = Table.GetCellValue(i, CStr(columns(j)))                
        Next

        With wks
            .Range(.Cells(i + 2, 1), .Cells(i + 2, cols + 1)).Value = arrCol()
        End With

        If i Mod 10 = 0 Then
            Table.SetCurrentCell i, CStr(columns(0))
            DoEvents
        End If
    Next

End Sub

The above code will fail if you don't use griv view control. "Session" must be a valid SAP Guisession pointing to FBL3N with the grid view open. In the link I provided above you will see hot to do that.
