I do not have a direct answer. This is a way around. It works if you need to create Excel plots/charts from a LV program.

First, manually create an Excel templ containing a macros in VB. The macros should take some raw data and create all fancy staff (images, plots, barcharts).

The LV program should:

1. ceate a new Excel document from this template;

2. export only basic data from LV to the Excel document;

3. run the macros.

IMHO this is a faster way because debugging of a pure LV program could be a nightmare. Each run of the LV program will end with opening the Excel document, observing a crasy result, and guessing the reason. Another advantage: less problems when working with different generations of Excel.

Disadvantage: the LV and Excel plots wold not be visually identical.
