LabView Exe Application file not launch Excel application for report generation

Dear All,
I created one LabVIEW application file for report generation (using Excel Template).
While I run the program in programming mode it works well and create the report file in the specified path.
After creation of the application file(exe), it gives the correct path of where the excel template is placed. The same path is given to New Report.vi, but it gives the error 'File Not Found'.
Tell me, is any other configuration required for generating Excel reports? (During exe application mode)
Give me the solution.
Thank You
Jegan.

Hello,
Most likely you are encountering a problem of stripping and/or building paths. Probably the easiest thing to do is put a couple indicators on your front panel for the path or paths you care about, build your exe, and make sure you are really using the path you'd like. If you always put the report at some deterministic place relative to the exe (that is, even it the exe is moved, it will go with the exe and remain in the same relative path location, then you can use the Current VIs Path funtion found in the ... File I/O -> File Constants palette as a start path (where you will want to strip at least the exe name off of course).
I think this will bring some clarity to the issue!

After additional investigation I have resolved the issue via a combination of removing the camera raw file from the 32 bit plug-in folder as suggested here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/generic-icons-camera-raw-files.html
As well as it appears that when I restored my backup from Carbonite all the files came back without the proper security settings which was preventing these items to be viewed in Lightroom and Bridge because file editing was not enabled even through the "read only" checkbox was removed.

In search results, Summary sometimes shows the top of file, not the text I searched for

I'm searching lots of html files, it's a web site that's not imported into Sharepoint. Search is returning the correct files, but about half the time the Summary contains the text at the top of the html file, not the text surrounding the text I searched
for. It's a big problem, users have to open the file then find the search text to see if it's useful.
If I search for 'potato' here's an example Summary which is ok:

Here's a Summary just showing text from the top of the file, 'potato' is present, but lower in the file:

Could anyone help me get it to consistently show the text around the search text please?

You can't attach a screenshot to the first post that starts a thread, but you can do that in subsequent replies.
Does this only happen on one specific website?
Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?
It is possible that there is a problem with that web page and that there is a clear:both CSS rule missing that causes Firefox to start the next line at the horizontal position where the previous line ended.
If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.

Problem for Report Generation Toolkit for excel 2000

Hi all,
Now I am Developing my program with Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.0 and Labview 7.1.
In my computer I am using Excel XP, and there is not any problem. But when I build to
a exe file, and use in a computer with Excel 2000, it didn't work.
And I try to check the source file in this computer, I found that there any some connection
error. And this is caused by the active X class. As I know Excel 2000 is using Microsoft Excel
Object Library 9.0, but i cannot find it in the list of active x. So it is using Microsoft Excel Object
Library with a very old verison. So in the property node there are missing functions, such as the
UsedRange in _Worksheet in the Excel_Get_Range.vi. However, In VBA, I can find the 9.0 Library.
Is it the problem of 9.0 library? How can I solve the problem? How can I upgrade the library to 10.0?
Thanks.
Regard,
Ryan

Hi Mike,
Since my program is for all the staff in office, everyone may use it.
I cannot call the whole office to upgrade the excel to XP.
And I think Report Generation Toolkit is alway support Excel 2000,
since the old version of it is not support for Excel XP.
Regard,
Ryan

File name collision during build that includes Report Generation toolkit. How to correct?

When I switched to LV 8.6 (it's also in 8.6.1) I started getting a file name collision warning when building an installer that included the Report Generation toolkit. The executable works, but I don't like to leave warnings uninvestigated. I don't understand 1) why it's happening now and 2) what it's recommending for the fix. Here's part of the actual warning it gives.
LabVIEW prevented a file name collision during the
build. Duplicate file names cannot be copied to the same destination. You can
rename files as part of the build process to avoid name conflicts.
The following files were moved to a unique
location:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW
8.6\vi.lib\Utility\NIReport.llb\Append Control Image to Report.vi
C:\Program
Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\vi.lib\Utility\NIReport.llb\HTML\Append
Control Image to Report.vi
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW
8.6\vi.lib\Utility\NIReport.llb\Append File to Report.vi
C:\Program
Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\vi.lib\Utility\NIReport.llb\HTML\Append
File to Report.vi
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW
8.6\vi.lib\Utility\NIReport.llb\Append Horizontal Line to Report.vi...........

Hi GS,
The architecture of the Report Generation Toolkit was changed in LabVIEW 8.6 to utilize LabVIEW Classes. As such, there are some warnings during an EXE build because the class VIs have identical names. Classes were not used in the toolkit in LabVIEW 8.5 and previous...that's why you didn't see any warnings during the build until now.
Your EXE should still function properly, and you shouldn't have to change anything about your build. The purpose of the warnings is to let you know that the duplicate-named VIs needed to be handled differently during the build.

Excel data write using report generation vi's

I can read data from an excel sheet but can not figure a way to write data to specific cells using the LabView report generation vi's.

In the "Excel Easy Table" VI you can specify where you want a table to be placed by wiring a value to the 'Start (0,0)' input. If you want more control than that you will have to open the "Excel_Insert_Table" vi and modify it. It is located in the _exclsub.llb library. I highly recommend making a backup copy of this llb before modifying any VI's in it.

Excel Graph Legend Formatting - Report Generation Tool

Hi all,
I'm currently using the Report Generation Tool for Labview '11 and cannot seem to figure out how to edit the font properties for a graph's legend. Attached is a screenshot of an example output.
The Excel Graph Font.vi's Help file says that it should be able to modify the legend, yet I can't seem to figure out how to configure it to do so. If anyone can walk me through the steps or tell me what I am missing, I'd greatly appreciate it.

The Word object model is probably the most complicated of the Office suite and you are loosing the calculation ability of Excel.

Excel Add-in for report buider 3.0

Hi Guys,
I am looking forward to use Report builder 3.0 inside excel as an add-in. I don't want do develop in a stand alone version as I need to refresh the report in excel and change the data dynamically. I am doing this because I wanted to give cell references
to other sheets in the excel file as well.
I know pivot table will do. But I was not able to achieve the desire format in what I want actually.
please help.
Thanks.

I am looking forward to use Report builder 3.0 inside excel as an add-in.
Hello,
There is no functional relation between Report Builder and Excel, therefore there is no such an addin.
If PowerPivot is not suitable for you, then maybe an option could be to query (link) the required data from your data source directly in Excel and then to use that as data for reports/charts etc.

Excel Graphs using Office Report Generation

I'm using Office Report Generation and I would like to add a grpah to my excel spreadsheet using existing excel spread sheet data.
Right now the only way I can add a grpah is to load the data into labview and create a graph in a 2d array. However that way the graph has no linkage to the data in the exc el spreadsheet. I can't use a template to create the graph then load the data because different results require different methods. However if I could modify an existing graph within labview I could use the template but I can't index a now labview created graph.
Can anyone suggest anything?

Hello,
Thanks for posting to the NI Discussion Forums! I think you might
be right, and there might not be a conventional way to create your
graph from the Report Toolkit (after all this is designed more to
create a report from known and unchanging data that you can move to
excel for demo purposes). There might be some other ways to do
this.
My first recommendation if you would like to stick with the Report Gen.
VIs, you can design an Excel Macro to generate a graph from the
spreadsheet. LabVIEW can execute the Excel Macro through the
Report VIs (see the Report Generation->Excel Specific->Excel
Advanced->Excel Macros palette). There are some good examples
and documentation out there about calling Excel Macros:
http://venus.ni.com/stage/we/niepd_web_display.DISPLAY_EPD4?p_answer=&p_guid=B45EACE3DD2F56A4E034080020E74861&p_node=DZ53040&p_rank=&p_source=Internal&p_submitted=N
http://venus.ni.com/stage/we/niepd_web_display.DISPLAY_EPD4?p_answer=&p_guid=B45EACE3D9D856A4E034080020E74861&p_node=DZ53003&p_rank=&p_source=Internal&p_submitted=N
http://venus.ni.com/stage/we/niepd_web_display.DISPLAY_EPD4?p_answer=&p_guid=B45EACE3DC6D56A4E034080020E74861&p_node=DZ53003&p_rank=&p_source=Internal&p_submitted=N
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/manuals/323805A-01/RepGenUG_07/
If you do not want to use the macros, you might have more luck using
ActiveX, or other means in which to interface with Excel than are
provided in the Report Generation Toolkit. There are countless
examples and discussions about Excel, LabVIEW and ActiveX so I won't
spend too much time here on it, but if you think you might want to use
this as an option, let us know and I can see about finding some
examples on it for you.
Hopefully this helps! Please let us know how things go.

Excel value range with Report Generation Toolkit

I have an excel sheet. I want to find out the range for cells with values. At least, I want the find out what's the last row that has values in it. I tried "Excel Get Last Row.vi" in the report generation toolkit, but it would treat a blank cell as a valued cell if it is filled with another color. Therefore, that won't work.
I don't want to use active x, and I don't want to write a separate vi to search for the last row. I want to see is there a way to use the report generation toolkit. Can I somehow get a hidden method from the class? I would think that, since they are charging for the report generation toolkit, a simple function like that should be included. Thanks!
Kudos and Accepted as Solution are welcome!

I am pretty sure that the Report Generation Toolkit does use ActiveX, so you are using it even if you dont want to.
Seems to be how the UsedRange function is being used in the toolkit.
See here for some examples: http://blog.contextures.com/archives/2012/03/01/select-actual-used-range-in-excel-sheet/
I tried, and it does not find the blank cells with colored backgrounds.
This will require some activeX modifications though.

How to create a working link anchor in an EXCEL document with the report generation toolkit?

I am using the latest report generation toolkit and want to add links on the first worksheet pointing to the other worksheets in the same document.
I am using the "Append Hypertext Link Anchor to Report" VI. The links are created, but don't work when clicking them.
Question now is: How does a link to a cell on a different worksheet needs to look like?
It can not be that complicated but all variations I tried did not work and I could not find any information about this problem. So any help is appreciated!
Thanks and Regards,

Thanks, Brian, for your support! - It's working.
It's hard to understand why NI did not pass this parameter to the top of the call chain...
I also needed some time to understand the syntax of the string passed to the subaddress node:
The name of the worksheet needs to be framed by single quotation marks and the following cell address must preceeded by an exclamation point (!).
A working link pointing to cell "A1" of "Worksheet 1" looks like:
'Worksheet 1'!A1
Maybe also of interest: If you want to point the link to a worksheet inside the document itself, the parameter "address" (URL of link - href) can be left empty.
Thanks and Regards,
Ingo
