I'm not sure about the format of data in your table so can't give you an exact solution but basically you need to convert the table of strings to numbers using the sting/number convesion or scan from string. If the graph contains x axis data and y axis data you can use the xy graph indicator. This indicator can be used different ways but basically you need a cluster of arrays or arrays of clusters of xy data. For example if the first column was X data and the second column was y data the output of the block diagram could look like this:

If there were more datasets in the table you could use an array of clusters etc.

If you're interested in making a graph in the excel file instead of the front panel you could use a macro (Check out the Excel Macro Example.vi in the NI Example Finder).

Hi,

thanks a lot for your support. The file is a .csv format (is not possible to uppload).

I really could not find the icon where you set the parameter 0 and 1. I looked through the menue and the help function.

I also did not find an icon equal to that.

Thanks again.

That is 'index array':

That adapts to the number of dimensions.
