If somebody can help, would be great. Thanx for your support. 1) Look Excel ActiveX examples from LV Example Finder. It should be not difficult. 2) Try to open this XLS-file with a Text-Editor. May be its only a spreadsheet file and you can read it as a text file. Eugen Quote Link to comment
ASTDan Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Hello, You can use the LabVIEW report generation tool to read from excel. This is an add on toolkit from NI. I have used it and it works well. NI has done all the active X calls for you. There is also a free set of vi's that can manipulate excel. I think this is the link http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2974. The report generation toolkit is better. You get what you pay for. Finally if your file is saved in a simple format say tab delimited or comma delimeted you can just bring that into LabVIEW using the Text file I/O. Hope this helps Dan Quote Link to comment
LVfan Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 once you get your data into an array you can use convert to dynamic data to display it as a graph Quote Link to comment
