Happy New year SCN and Happy New Excel with abap2xlsx
0Dear community, it was in the far July 2011 that I gave you updates on the abap2xlsx project with the reporting of my adventures at SAP Inside Track in Chicago (blog). In the last weeks, I had the idea to write a blog and few days ago a great present by SAP Mentor Gregor Wolf to the project (I will give you more detail below, keep reading) gave me the final sprint to be there on time for the New Year celebration.
Abap2xlsx is still the most popular project on Code Exchange with more than 3,500 downloads and close to 300 members. There is a great interest for this project, discussion board on Code Exchange is very hot, many people are asking and helping and many members are contributing (thanks you all) to improve this project adding new features and fixing some bugs ( yes, we had some
).

Finally I found some time in order to write this blog and tell you guys my adventure on the road to SAP Inside Track in Chicago. I said adventure, it was not a mistake, it was really a time battle to be on time for my presentation.
The journey
Let start from the beginning, I planned to depart from Milan Italy on early morning of 14th July in order to arrive in Chicago at 2 AM of the same day and have the possibility to take my rest before the event.
But this is what I planned; unfortunately my journey was not so easy.

I will be there as a presenter with a session on abap2xlsx.

How many do not know this project?
If you do or not this is a unique opportunity to have a live presentation and discuss directly with me and other atteendees.
I will introduce abap2xlsx idea giving you a complete view of what is behind this tool, what are the advantages and what we can do to improve it.
Session is not only a presentation but I would like to use as much as I can live demos in order to give you a direct view of the features and how simple is the implementation.
