Ecxel and Report Generation for Microsoft Office

Hi,
I'm trying to do move measurement data to a predefined Excel template. I
need to put data into same template from different measurements into
different places of the template. If the template (and Ecxel) is closed
accidentally outside LabView 7.0 it creates troubles. (Next time Excel do
not open correctly etc.) Is there any way to detect when Ecxel is closed
outside LV. Any other good ideas to prevent Excel to crash or other
solutions.
Thanks in advance EJ

Unless you must have Excel visible for some reason, the best approach is to make Excel invisible when you open the application. Feed the Excel application object into a property node and set property "visible" to false. Then the only way for a user to close Excel is to end the process in the Windows Task Manager.
Dave.

  • How to obtain the table index in word use LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office

    I created a word templete and it had several tables. When I use the "Word Edit Cell" function in LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office, the function need "table index", and I didn't find any function to get or set the table index in word document. How can I achieve my attention to write value to specified table cell using the "Word Edit Cell" function?
    Thanks for reply!
    YangAfreet

    Hi yangafreet
    You do not need to get the table index for the word edit cell.vi from anywhere. LabVIEW will automatically index all the tables in the document. See the attatched vi for an example.

  • LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office

    Hi!
    One question. I have bought the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office
    Version 1.0a and am trying to install it under Labview 7.1 but the installation stops with the error: "you need a Labview Version 6.0 runtime engine." Is there any possibility to install the toolkit anyway?
    Regards

    Hi
    You can try to update your Version 1.0 to Version 1.0.1. Then it should be working.
    Here ist the link for the free update:

  • Add Report Generation toolkit for Microsoft Office in exe

    Hi
    I am having a problem. I am using LabVIEW 8.20, Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 1.1.2 and Microsoft Excel 2003. My OS is Windows XP (SP )
    I want to build the vi attached below into an exe. The vis that I used are from addons>>_office>>excel.llb. I follow the suggestion found in the link below and add in all the files in excel.llb into my project so that it can be added into the executable as dynamic vis. However, some vis in excel.llb cannot be added into my project. After I have add all vis that can be added into the project, I build an application (exe) with the vi below as the Main vi and all other added vis (from excel.llb) as dynamic vis. After that, I build and run this exe on the same PC. I am unable to run it.
    This vi will save datas when I click on the stop button. After I click on the stop button, a window will pop-up and prompt me to select which directory to save the vi. When I run the exe, I type in test.xls (for example) but the file saved is a picture and not an excel file. If I just run the vi instead of the exe, Excel will open and datas and graph will be displayed in Excel.
    May I know where did I done wrong??
    How do I use the Report Generation Toolkit in an executable with Microsoft Excel?

    Hi centerbolt,
    Thank you for your reply. I have tried adding in just that dynamic vi found in Excel Library and my main vi but it still cannot work. Is there anything that I need to look out as well?? [View attached picture.]

  • LV Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office says "This VI or item belongs to a library that is expired or invalidly licensed"

    I have downloaded the LV Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office for evaluation with LabVIEW 2010. The examples for the Help get many errors, including "The subVI is not executable. You must fix all errors in the subVI before this VI can run." and "This VI or item belongs to a library that is expired or invalidly licensed".
    I selected that I wanted to evaluate the toolkit instead of putting an activation code during installation. Installation went OK.
    How can I get the examples in this LV Toolkit to Run so that I can evaluate it?
    Solved!

    Also when I place the MS Office Report function in my block diagram, I get: "Unable to View Properties" popup message and no Contextual Help on the function.
    How can I get these RGT function to work properly so that I can evaluate the toolkit?

  • How do I put data into a template using the Labview report generation toolkit for Microsoft Office?

    I am running Lookout 5.0 and have recently purchased the Labview Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office to create reports from my Lookout logged data. Since I have never used Labview I am having my problems. I tried following the tutorials but they do not seem to be examples of what I want to do.
    I log rainfall totals (1 spreadsheet)in Lookout from 40 different sites in 5 minute increments. I copy these totals and paste them into another spreadsheet which sums them up to give me hourly totals and then paste those totals into a spreadsheet for distribution.
    In Labview I create a new report and use the distribution sheet as my template, but how do I complete
    the steps of loading the raw 5 minute data into labview and then paste it into the hourly total spreadsheet and then transfer those totals into the distribution template?
    I have been trying to figure this out for over a week, and I am getting nowhere.
    Any response would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Lookout saves the files in .csv form which can be opened in Excel. I did make some progress by using the "append table to report" vi which allowed me to put values into an array and then those values were entered into my template on my report vi.
    Where I am stuck now is I want to be able to put values into my template from a .csv file, not from an array I have to manually put numbers in.
    Once those values are in my template I want to pull summed values from the template and place them into a final excel file for printing.
    I have attached examples of the files I am working with to help you better understand what I am trying to do.
    I hope that makes sense.

  • Control checkbox form field in word with report generation toolkit for Microsoft office

    Hi all,
    Happy New Year!
    I insert in the word template the check box form field. It has a bookmark name "Check1".
    Now I'm trying to checked or unchecked this field using the report generation toolkit for Microsoft office and I couldn't. If anyone now how to do it? I'm using LabView 8.0
    Thanks in advance,

    Solved!

    Boris,
    The Microsoft Office Toolkit does not have support for checking/unchecking check box forum field. You would have to research the activex functionality that enables this to be checked or unchecked and then do the activex calls yourself. I did hear of one csutomer who used a special font to write a blank box or a checkbox into a word document and changed it that way as well.
    Maybe http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53715 gives a hint to an activex reference

  • National Instruments releases LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office.

    The new LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office is a library of flexible, easy-to-use tools for programmatically creating and editing Microsoft Word and Excel reports from LabVIEW. Whether you need to generate reports summarizing manufacturing test results or compile process statistics to improve your production yields, this toolkit speeds your development of customized, professional reports.
    To see examples of this toolkit or get more information please visit :

    It is a bit limiting though. I built my own set of VI's, a toolkit if you will, that does some of what this tookit does. But, I also wrote some functionality that isn't available in NI's kit, such as creating charts as separate worksheets and linking the charts to data on another worksheet. All in all, the toolkit is great, but you can't get as much out of it as you can using the ActiveX calls yourself.

    You are right, the page does not say that but the local distributor says that I have to purchase an update to the latest version of LabView: about USD 1000. I can't believe that.

    Thank you in advance,

    Yes here is the 2013 version.

    And here is the 2014 version.

    I believe both are for 32 bit LabVIEW, which works in both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows.  Honestly until all toolkits support 64 bit Windows, I still don't see much of a reason to go with 64 bit LabVIEW.  The support is just better with 32 bit.

  • Does Time Machine/Migration Assistant successfully transfer software licenses for Microsoft Office and Adobe?

    I have a MacBook that I purchased in late 2007.  It's been very good to me over the years.  However, I'm been having various minor issues, and tonight I noticed that the screen goes to black at about 45° as I'm closing my laptop.  In other situations I'd try to fix this myself, but right now I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer in rural South America and have limited access to the right tools, much less replacement parts.  So instead I'm taking it as a sign that my trustworthy companion is about to give up the ghost and I should get a new computer now, instead of completely running this one into the ground and potentially losing important documents, photos, &c.
    My question is simple:  Does Time Machine and/or Migration Assistant successfully transfer licenses for Microsoft Office 2011 and for Adobe software?
    My software installation disks are in a box in a basement in the United States.  And since I'm not quite sure which box it is (last summer I did not see the need to label my own boxes), I'm not going to ask some unsuspecting friend or family member to dig through all my posessions to find an alphanumeric code or two, especially if I can just transfer/migrate the license without it.
    Many thanks.

  • Hi, so I want to get Microsoft Office on my Macbook Pro, and I think I found it on the app store. The app is templates for Microsoft Office is that the same thing. Will I get Word, Excel, and Powerpoint on my laptop if I buy and download that app?

    If I buy the templates for Microsoft Office on the app store, I will get Word, Excel, and Powerpoint right?

    Templates are just that, not the software itself.  You need to contact MicroSoft online to purchase, or buy a DVD to install from...be sure to get MS Office 2011 to install with Lion or Mountain Lion, older versions than 2008 will not work.

Despite my figure being in the middle of my artboard, it always comes out bottom left in the png file or jpg. Must be making a school boy error! Please help!

    In similar cases, my solution is to "select all" then "deselect" only the artwork I want to keep and "delete". If I'm curious I may "cut" then "paste" to see what shows up in the center of the screen. it is usually some stray point. or other element out direct sight.
