How to Read data from excel file without converting a excel file into .csv or any other format

Hello,
Can somebody suggest me how to read from an excel file (consisting of 10 work sheets) to an array?
Thanks,
She

You have to be careful when using the spreadsheet-files vi's. They are located in the Functions Palette under File IO, you will find "Write To / Read From Spreadsheet File.vi"s.
Here is what the Context Help says about the vi function:
"Reads a specified number of lines or rows from a numeric text file beginning at a specified character offset and converts the data to a 2D, single-precision array of numbers. You optionally can transpose the array. The VI opens the file before reading from it and closes it afterwards. You can use this VI to read a spreadsheet file saved in text format. This VI calls the Spreadsheet String to Array function to convert the data. "
This is quick & easy when the spreadsheet is all the same format. You can set the format to string as well. HOWEVER... you do have to convert the Excel spreadsheet to text before using it.
I haven't experimented with the Active-X, but it may look as the way to go if you have combination text / numeric values in the spreadsheet.
If you did convert it to text, then you can use array functions as well and treating the file as an array of strings (see very brief example attached). The example is to illustrate a point only

How to read data from a zipped MS Access file?

RPJ,
You do not need to use the Close Zip File.vi when you unzip a folder. This VI is used when you are creating a zip folder.
As for examples, I found a couple of ActiveX based MS Access examples. These programs look to be pretty basic. For more in depth example I would search Microsoft Developers Network

How to read data from an internal table into a real table?

Hello experts,
I'm relatively new to ABAP and I'm trying to figure out how to read data from an internal table into a table that I created. I'm trying to use the RRW3_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA function module to read data from a multiprovider. I'm trying to read data from the e_cell_data and e_axis_data tables into a table that I've already created. Please see code below.
TABLES MULTITAB.
DATA:
query_name TYPE RSZCOMPID,
s_cubename TYPE RSINFOPROV,
t_cell_data TYPE RRWS_T_CELL,
t_axis_data TYPE RRWS_THX_AXIS_DATA,
t_axis_info TYPE RRWS_THX_AXIS_INFO,
wa_t_cell_data like line of t_cell_data,
wa_t_axis_data like line of t_axis_data,
w_corp_tab like line of t_cell_data.
s_cubename = 'CORP_MPO1'.
query_name = 'Z_corp_test'.
    CALL FUNCTION 'RRW3_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA'
       EXPORTING
         i_infoprovider           = s_cubename
         i_query                  = query_name
        i_t_parameter            = query_string_tab
       IMPORTING
         e_cell_data              = t_cell_data
         e_axis_data              = t_axis_data
         e_axis_info              = t_axis_info.
If anyone has any information to help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi,
<li>Once you call the function module RRW3_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA, lets say data is available in the corresponding tables e_cell_data e_axis_data which you have mentioned.
<li>Modify your internal table defined for other purpose, with data from e_cell_data e_axis_data like below.
LOOP AT t_cell_data INTO wa_t_cell_data.
"Get the required data from t_cell_data.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING wa_t_cell_data TO it_ur_tab.
"Modify your internal table wih data
MODIFY it_ur_tab TRANSPORTING <field1> <field2> <field3>.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP AT t_axis_data INTO wa_t_axis_data.
"Get the required data from t_cell_data.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING wa_t_axis_data TO it_ur_tab.
"Modify your internal table wih data
MODIFY it_ur_tab TRANSPORTING <field1> <field2> <field3>.
ENDLOOP.
Thanks

How to read data from a file in OSB

hi guys,
Recently, I've got a problem with reading file from specific location. I've actually followed this post OSB 11g - Read or Poll File in OSB - Oracle Fusion Middleware Blog, and then
I know how to read a file. However, it does not as expected. Because, I've found no way to read data from the file. Therefore, no chance to manipulate the data like assigning to a variable, or extracting ....
Hence, is there any way to read data from file by using proxy service in OSB ??? No Java code ???
by the way, supposed that there is no way to read data from a file in OSB. So, What purposes will the way in the post above be used for?
Many thanks in advance

How to read data from analog input and export it to a file using Components Works

I've made a simple application (Delphi 5 using the activeX) that read data from analog input channel 0. After I read the data, I want to export it to a file using the Components Works on a 6035E NIDAQ. (I'm not using labview and don't want to use it)
How can I do that???
Regards,
Francis

Here's a sample code to do this...
P.S.: If you read only one channel this code won't work.
function MyFunction: Integer;
var
Low, High, i, j, ChannelCount, RowCount: Integer;
Po: P;
begin
//you are reading multiple channel
ChannelCount := VarArrayHighBound(Buffer, 1);
RowCount := VarArrayHighBound(Buffer, 2);
for i := 0 to ChannelCount do begin
for j := 0 to RowCount do begin
WriteToDisk(Buffer[i, j]));
end;
end;
end;
