These are the two VI's personally i dunt like lvm file, as you mentioned you want xls file it is better to use the 'write to spreedsheet file' and 'read from spreedsheet file' functions under the file i/o within function palette. Specify your file to save as *.xls, this will allow you to wire in 1D or 2D array of data. example as shown. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To interact with excel file, you need to know activeX. You can also look at the shipped example that comes with labVIEW under Communicating with external applications >>activeX>>Excel Example from ni: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3409 Good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
