Creating new file using report generation express vi

Hello,
In my application, I need to write certain data in excel sheet. For that I created an excel template and I used the express vi in report generation toolkit to save the appropriate data in appropritate columns. I need a new file created everyday by that day's name and write the data to it rest of the day. I am having problems creating new file using this express vi. I tried using the low level vi's but not been able to it properly.
Attaching my code and excel template.
Please help.
Thanks!

The thing is everyday there cannot be a file provided.
Sure there can.  Don't you see the input on the Express VI for a file? "Path To Save Report" is the name of the input you want.

  • Problem writing to excel file using report generation toolkit

    hello everyone, i have this report generation toolkit... and i want to output DAQmx Analog I/P data on to an excel sheet. the DAQmx is programmed to collect 
    data at 3samples/sec. however, when i see the excel file that Report Generation Toolkit generates, the time stamp is updated every second instead of every 0.33sec. 
    can anyone please help me?  i am using the MS Office Report Express VI. 
    Now on LabVIEW 10.0 on Win7

    @All, I got rid of the express VI, decided to work on the custom low level VIs instead. however, i have a new problem now... 
    I have a case statement wherein, the user selects if he wants to start generating a report. once the program enters tat loop, the program speed reduces! 
    can anyone please tell me why is it happening? i ahve attached the vi... also another question.. in this VI, i am capturing the unwanted data into the graph as I am indexin the graph input. how can i make a logic 
    that the graph captures the data only when I am switching the CREATE REPORT button (which is in the while loop). is there a way that I can append the data to the graph without creating a new graph every iteration? please let me know
    thanks

  • How do I save a Report to file using Report Generation vi's?(not HTML)

    Hi,
    Sorry about re-stating the problem.   I am using the Report Generation vi's to create a report. There is an option to save HTML reports to file, however I must use Standard Report because I need to print in Landscape mode. HTML reports will not print in Landscape. One of the requirements is to save the report to file on the hard disk. I have tried to use the standard Open File and Write File vi's. A file is created, but the report is not saved into the file. How do I connect a report so that it will be saved in the file? I already tried simply wiring the report refnum into the data input of the Write File vi.
    I have attached an example of my code.
    I am using V7.1 Full Version.  I have V8 available if that is any help.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I did find this KB: How to Save Standard Reports?
    Attached is an example of how to do this.  You will have to relink the subVI's or else you will have a broken arrow. One is in LV7 and the other is in LV8

  • How to get data from an existing Excel file using report generation toolkit

    I'm trying to use the Excel Get Data vi from the report generation toolkit, but i can't figure out how to turn a browsable path into the right type for the VI.  I've tried using the New Report.vi, but that doesn't work unless you use a template.  It won't open an existing excel file and make it an open report to pull data from.
    Essentially, i have a bunch of excel files that have data in them and i want to use a VI to analyze the data.  So, i'm trying to pull in all the data directly from the excel file so i don't have to reproscess them all into text so i can use the more standard spreadsheet VIs.  But to even convert the excel file programtically in labview won't i still need to be able to open the excel file and get the data?

    I C.
    Got it,
    the reason why I can view it using my Excel file because its in .CSV.
    I open Microsoft Excel to open .CSV file.
    But you can also open .csv file with notepad.
    So, you cannot open .xls with Read Spreadsheet File

    Hi Leo22,
    Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!

  • Problem with writing continuous data to excel using using Report Generation vi's

    Hey Everyone,
    I am trying to read the data from DAQ and write to excel continuously using Report Generation vi's. 
    But when I run the VI, it writes only one interation of the while loop (gathering data from DAQ continuously) and doesn't append the data into the same file when I run it again after stoping the VI. 
    I have attached the VI i created. Please let me know if you have any idea to solve this issue. 
    Thanks

    sample 5.vi ‏35 KB

    There are two problems with your VI.  First, the basic logic of writing/appending to a file (Excel, TDMS, anything) should go something like this:  Open the file, position yourself at the end of the file, then, in the loop, acquire data and write it to the file until you are finished with data acquisition.  When you exit the acquire/write to file loop, then close the file.  In particular, the opening and the closing of the file should not be inside the loop.
    As others have pointed out, writing to Excel might not be optimal, particularly if you are acquiring data at a high rate (and would therefore be writing a lot of data). We actually use Excel in our data acquisition routine, mainly reading from a WorkSheet to get the parameters of a particular stimulus, but also writing the outcome of the response to the stimulus.  As it happens, our "acquisition rate" in this example is on the order of several samples per minute, so there's no problem using Excel (we also sample 16 channels of analog data at 1 KHz -- this gets written as a binary file).
    Second, if you really do want to use Excel, use the (existing) Excel file to which you want to append as the "template" argument of the New Report function.  Then use the Excel Get Last Row function to position yourself at "end of file", as noted above.
    Good Luck.

  • Error when using Report Generation Toolkit

    Hi, all,
    I am using Report generation toolkit to generate a report in either
    word or excel format. But i even can't run the "new report.vi". It
    returns an error code of "Bad variable type (-2147352568)", and seems
    this error comes out from the "call by reference" after the
    word/excel's "open VI reference". I have checked the folder
    "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW
    6.1\vi.lib\addons\_office", there are "_exclsub.llb" and
    "_wordsub.llb". The respect VIs are all inside. I don't know why there
    is such error. Currently i am using labview 6.1, Microsoft office 2000
    and Windows NT 4.0.
    Your kindly help will be appreciated very much!!!
    Thannk you in advance!! ^_^
    Your sincerely,
    celery

    So, if you place just New Report.vi on the Block Diagram, wire in the report type and run it, it gives you this error? Do the example programs which ship with the toolset give this same error also? If so, I would just reinstall the toolset first and see if that helps. It sounds like the entire install is corrupt.

  • How to populate the last empty row in Excel without using Report Generation Kit

    I wrote  a Labview SUb Vi that uses Report Generation Toolkit that is not loaded on the test stand. I am looking to convert it from Report Generation Vi like New Report,  Append Table to Report, Dispose Report. The tunneling through all the report generation Vis seems extensive. Code is attached. Thanks, Greg
    Greg

    Thank you that was a big help...
    I used the Excel Forum to get a lot of great ideas.  My code is almost working.
    There is a 2-D String Array that represents the String data that I am exporting to the Excel File Sheet 1 - 5.
    I am attempting to determine the last populated row in sheet 1 then populate the next row of Sheet 1.  Since all 5 sheets are populated every time, I should not have to search every sheet for the last row.
    I am getting two row populated on sheet 1 with seeming the same data.
     I found an AXExcelWrite2D ArrayWorksheet.vi that I thought would work.  I think there is a Table  determination that is causing me problems.  The link is http://lavag.org/topic/13324-labview-and-excel-activex-or-ado/.  The Application Invoke Node has a convert formula with "FromReferenceStyle" with R1C1 Attached to it.   I am not sure what this function is doing.  When I try to bring the function help up, there is a missing file.
    I am including both the new active x vi and the report generation vi.   Report Generation VI works.
    I would appreciate any assistance I can get on this.
    Thanks

  • Error Showing While Using Report Generation ToolKit VIs

    Hi All,
               When I use report generation VIs Like Excel Easy Tables its showing following errors and i am not able to contiune using the same,
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\utility\NIReport.llb\Set Report Font.vi
        - LabVIEW 8.0 changed a constant that was wired to a Case structure to a hidden control to maintain compatibility with LabVIEW 7.1 and earlier.
        - LabVIEW 8.0 changed a constant that was wired to a Case structure to a hidden control to maintain compatibility with LabVIEW 7.1 and earlier.
    what might be the issue, i am using LabVIEW 8.2

    Hi,
    In
    LabVIEW 7.1 and earlier, subVIs could be kept in memory by wiring a
    constant to a Case structure and placing the subVI in a case that would
    not be executed. For example, you could wire a True constant to the
    Case structure and place a subVI in the False case of the Case
    structure, and LabVIEW would load the subVI along with the calling VI.
    However, from LabVIEW 8.0 onwards, the case structure is optimized to remove code that is not going to be executed. Changing the
    constant to a control ensures that this VI behaves as it did in LabVIEW
    7.1 and earlier. If the intent is not to keep the subVIs in memory, you
    can change this control back to a constant by right-clicking the
    control and selecting 'Change to Constant' from the shortcut menu. The
    proper way to keep a subVI in memory without calling it is to use a
    Static VI Reference.
    Good Luck!

    Hi,
    A trigger is designed to be a part of a transaction, not it's end.
    It is like following these steps (not really accurate, but should give an idea):
    1. programA issues INSERT statement on tableA
    2. 'control' goes over to the database
    3. constraint checks happen
    4. the associated triggers on tableA do their work (e.g. fetching a sequence value for a primary key)
    5. 'control' goes back to programA
    6. programA decides if a commit (no error occurred) or a rollback (error case) has to be issued.
    Did this help? Probably not, I'm not happy with what I wrote, but anyway... :)

  • Why i can't not create new database in oracle 10g express

    why i can't not create new database in oracle 10g express?
    should i use oracle 11g standard edition?
    thanks

    In Oracle a schema is what a 'database' is in Sqlserver.
    And if you would have been aware about the limitations of XE, you would have known you can only create *1* (one) database using Oracle XE.
    However, probably you don't need a new database at all, and a schema will suffice.

  • Can't create new files in curlftpfs mounted directory

    Hi All.
    I'm trying to mount an FTP directory locally so I can use it as a local directory.
    I have this in my fstab:

    now, here's the weird thing.
    I can edit files in there fine.
    If I try to create a new file (using mousepad for example) the file is created, then I get an error 'unable to write file'.
    The problem with that is that when I try to (for example) create a new project in kdevelop using this directory, the 'unable to write file' error means kdevelop isn't able to create it's project file.

    check for the files in ORACLE_HOME/database. You have dropped existing instance and creating service again, move all the files to other folder then create using ORADIM
