Depends upon the Application Software what it requires. If your application needs complete automation, doing excel application outside of the applicaton, will be odd to user. I am not sure whether it is easy to use without LabVIEW, but most of the components available in Labview for Excel which makes simple to the end user.
I don't know how long you are using Labview :headbang: ....since you can easily find the "Read From Spreedsheet file.vi" from Function Palete\ File I/O section. Only you need to wire the file path and required formate of data out......If need more, you can find more help about this vi from Context Help.......
Use Report generation Tool Kit ---- you can find ExcelExamples.llb from C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\examples\comm\ExcelExamples.llb :!: . For your quick referance i have attached a NI example vi which satisfy requirement, I hope .

Any one who knows about user32.dll application function which will write value to the properties window(when right-click any application, properties window popup)-summary information like Title, subject, author, catogory, keywrods etc.
Thanks & Regards
