Report Generation tool kit for MS office (Opening an existing excel file and appending to the bottom)

I don't have any problems creating and filling an excel sheet with data. I use the New Report.vi, Easy Title.vi, and Easy Text.vi to create the file. I then save and dispose properly.
What I don't seem to be able to do is open the exsting file and append data to the end of the sheet.
Thanks in advance for your help.
todd

Hi Todd,
You can do this by creating a new Excel report with the existing excel file path wired to the "template" input. Then use "Excel Get Last Row.vi" (located under Report Generation\Excel Specific\Excel General) to obtain the location of the last row. Then use that location to input new data into the file.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Report generation tool kit not printing

I had the report generation tool kit version 1.01 for some time but never used it. I was comfortable with printing front panel vi 's.
But now I installed it on my computer with a windows 2000 and LabView 6.02 .
I created an application (executable) that will print (using the report
genartion tool kit). The application works fine in my development computer
(win 2000).
When I installed it on another computer with a win 2000, it prints as
expected
but when I try to exit I get a message from windows that the application is not responding (I have to go to task manager and terminate the application).
Both computers have word and Excell installed
I installed the application on a third computer (win 2000), but this com
puter does not have word or excell installed. The application does not print the
portion of the software that uses the report generation tool kit, but it can print the front panel of vi's (set to print an end of excution).
In all 3 computers, I have runtime engine 6.02 installed. My vi is simply
the example vi ""Sample test report.vi"", but customized to my application, printing standard report.
What is happening ?

Based on what you sent, the version of Excel and Windows that are being used is a non issue since none of the code makes any calls to either one. They all refer to the older version of the report generation VIs that use NI's proprietary report generator.
I can think of two explainations. First, you aren't using what you think you are. Second, NI retained the same VI names when they went to the Word/Excel version of the generator, and I am linked into the old version.

Report Generation Tool Kit

Hi,
I have LabView7.1 and Labview8.0 installed in my pc.Recently i installed Report generation tool kit(version 1.0.1.0)
In the functions palette i couldnt able to see the Excel Specific VI sub palette and Word Specific VI sub palette.
Can u tell me what is the problem
Regards
Meenatchi

You can not see it in either version? Or has it been installed to the wrong version? There has been postings on this board regarding how to get it to install to multiple versions. I have not found tha to work. I go in a 'manually' copy the VIs from add-ons, examples, and help to the latest version of LabVIEW that I have. But if you look here you should find the help you need.

Open an existing Excel file created by Report Generation Toolkit

How would I open an existing Excel file that has been created by the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit?
Let me explain my application. I have made a test program to collect data on a device. Each time I run the program I want it to append a new row onto an existing data file. Since the tests I do are sometimes over a period of days, I cannot keep the program open and running continuously. So I have to open an existing file and append the new data to it. In technical terms, what I need is to get the 'report out' reference to the existing Excel data file without losing the data that is already there.

For info on accessing Excel do a search in the examples for the word "Excel" you will get an example that shows how to open a spreadsheet and manipulate the data. This should get you started.

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... :)

How to open a Excel file and display on the custom screen

Guys, I am new to screen programming. In my first screen (SCREEN #9000) I want to put a field, where I must be able to select a file from my desktop and when I click the DISPLAY button, it should suck all the data from the spread sheet in to an internal table, and should display the next screen (SCREEN #9001), displaying the data from the internal table along with a button called LOAD. Now when I click the LOAD button after reviewing the data, it must load the data to my custom table in R/3. I know how to load an Excel spreadsheet to R/3 without the custom screens. But my requirement now is to do from custom screens like I mentioned above. Any ideas how to do this? Thanks.
Dan

Hi Dan,
In my first screen (SCREEN #9000) I want to put a field, where I must be able to select a file from my desktop and when I click the DISPLAY button, it should suck all the data from the spread sheet in to an internal table, and should display the next screen (SCREEN #9001)
For this create a MPP program and create a Push button. Write the code for this to open a file like use f4_filename.From here you are able to select a file.
+ displaying the data from the internal table along with a button called LOAD. Now when I click the LOAD button after reviewing the data, it must load the data to my custom table in R/3.+
With the above you are able to open a file and now you have to load that data into internal table. Select the file from the desktop.
Totally you have to create 1) Screen 2) Push button( Open File) 3) Load data ( From file) .

Is there a way to open an existing opar file to just explore the same

Is there a way to open a OPAR file and explore the metadata xml files in them. Does any utility in the EMPDK allow us to do the same?

You can use unzip to extract files from an opar file.

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?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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
I learn something everyday

Excel MSGraph Axis Value w/ Report Gentration Tool kit help needed

Hello,
I am working on making all my Printed Data sheets dynamic so I don't need to have an Excel Template for each test I create. I have been able to make my own modifications to some of the Report Generation tool kit VIs to add little things I need or want changed, but I am stuck.
I currently have LabVIEW writing Charts in Excel, using the Insert Graph VIs from the tool kit but I want to be able to make the X Axis Values invisible but leave the Y values for this particular data sheet. I have looked through all my documentation but cannot find anything referring to setting that.
What is the correct ActiveX Method and/or Property that I need to incorporate to do this? I found that in Excel if I click on the Chart it is in the Chart Options Menu but I cannot find a way to control it through LabVIEW.
I am currently using 7.1.1 with Office 98 and the Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.0
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello,
LabVIEW should have access to everything that the excel ActiveX object publishes. One way to discover how to do it would be to record a macro in excel, where your recorded actions are on the x-axis as you desire. This way you will have a macro which you can run that will do this for you. Perhpas more importantly, you will then be able to look at the code for that macro you recorded, and make the equivalent calls in LabVIEW, which should basically expose which ActiveX calls on that object achieve the axis modification. In any event, to help you with this process, below are some useful links. Also, you will find other threads on this matter if you search the discussion forums.

How to open a specific excel file by activex & overwrite by set_cell_value.vi

I've seen the 'Write Table and Chart to XL.llb', but how can i open an existing excel file/workbook/sheet and rewrite some of the data instead of open a new worksheet everytime? It may already shown in your examples somewhere, but since I'm new to activex/property node stuff, I can't figure it out. Your help is appretiated.
Thanks
Anthony

The process is very similar. Starting with the example, open the diagram and you'll see a VI labled "Open Book" (The name of the VI is actually "Open New Workbook.vi". Right click on it and select Replace/Select a VI...
Now navigate to \\Labview 7.0\examples\comm\excelexamples.llb and select the file "Open Specific Workbook.vi". This VI has an input for specifying a filename to open.
Likewise, the example also calls a VI named "Open a New Worksheet.vi" replace that with "Open a Specific Worksheet.vi" (found in the same place).

How to install Open-SSL tool kit for Key conversion

Hi Expert,
Can you please suggest how do i install Open-SSL tool kit for Key conversion .
I need this for creating public and private keys for a key based SFTP connection.

SAP PI donnot support SFTP protocol. If you have a third party SFTP adapter and wanted to generate a keypair, you can use tools like PuttyGen.
But you need to download the tool on to the PI server to generate a key pair.
Instead, you can use the unix command to generate key pair (Recommended) -
ssh-keygen -t rsa
