Write to excel

i created a VI that would open excel, write to a sheet then save as original_timestamp (this way i had a clean template each time), the problem i ran into was i opened the original each time so everytime i wrote to new sheet only the most recent sheet had values while the others were empty. So i split the VI into 3 parts - OpenExcel, WriteToExcel, and CloseExcel. Now all of my sheet data gets written to the first sheet. Can someone look at my VIs and let me know if i have a reference problem. I call these from TestStand and safe the references to variables which i then pass on to the other VIs.
Solved!

Except you are not setting the active sheet now.
You do have a invoke node that takes a sheet name and gives you a reference to a worksheet. Except you never do anything with that reference coming from the "Item" terminal. You proceed to use the ActiveSheet property and use that sheet.
Try eliminating ActiveSheet, and use the output of the Sheets invoke node.
If you want to make this sheet the active one (you don't need to because you can work on inactive sheets, but activating it will bring it to the front and save that state when you save the file), you can use the Invoke Node called Activate that is part of the Worksheet object.

Powershell use Connection String to query Database and write to Excel

Right now I have a powershell script that uses ODBC to query SQL Server 2008 / 2012 database and write to EXCEL
$excel = New-Object -Com Excel.Application
$excel.Visible = $True
$wb = $Excel.Workbooks.Add()
$ws = $wb.Worksheets.Item(1)
$ws.name = "GUP Download Activity"
$qt = $ws.QueryTables.Add("ODBC;DSN=$DSN;UID=$username;PWD=$password", $ws.Range("A1"), $SQL_Statement)
if ($qt.Refresh()){
$ws.Activate()
$ws.Select()
$excel.Rows.Item(1).HorizontalAlignment = $xlCenter
$excel.Rows.Item(1).VerticalAlignment = $xlTop
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Name = "Calibri"
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Size = 11

I would like to use connection string to query the database and write results to EXCEL, i.e.
$SQL_Statement = "SELECT ..."
$conn = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$conn.ConnectionString = "Server=10.10.10.10;Initial Catalog=mydatabase;User Id=$username;Password=$password;"
$conn.Open()
$cmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand($SQL_Statement,$conn)
do{
try{
$rdr = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
while ($rdr.read()){
$sql_output += ,@($rdr.GetValue(0), $rdr.GetValue(1))
$transactionComplete = $true
catch{
$transactionComplete = $false
}until ($transactionComplete)
$conn.Close()
How would I read the columns and data for $sql_output into an EXCEL worksheet. Where do I find these tutorials?

Hi Q.P.Waverly,
If you mean to export the data in $sql_output to excel document, please try to format the output with psobject:
$sql_output=@()
do{
try{
$rdr = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
while ($rdr.read()){
$sql_output+=New-Object PSObject -Property @{data1 = $rdr.GetValue(0);data2 =$rdr.GetValue(1)}
$transactionComplete = $true
catch{
$transactionComplete = $false
}until ($transactionComplete)
$conn.Close()
Then please try to use the cmdlet "Export-Csv" to export the data to excel like:
$sql_output | Export-Csv d:\data.csv
Or you can export to worksheet like:
$excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$excel.Visible = $true
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
$sheet = $workbook.ActiveSheet
$counter = 0
$sql_output | ForEach-Object {
$counter++
$sheet.cells.Item($counter,1) = $_.data1$sheet.cells.Item($counter,2) = $_.data2}

How do I write an excel file and check what the next empty column would be to put the data in?

I have somehow managed to write the portion of labview that prompts the user for a name. It checks a file to see if they are a new user or not and then assigns a number if they are. The program then acquires data that is to be put into a spreadsheet. Each subject will have ten trials which will have three columns. How do I get the information into the columns and then check each time to see which column it should go into (i.e. the next empty column for that subject). I have attached what I have thus far. I wrote this a long time ago and haven't touched it for some time so everything is a blur.

To perform those operations in excel you will use ActiveX. I will attach some examples of using Excel in LabVIEW and you can use these to do exactly what you want.
These three examples show how to manipulate properties, write to excel and read from excel. Let me know if there is more I can do.

Write to excel using Range function - Excel_write_range.vi

I am using the write using range Excel function to dump some data into Excel.
My data is an array consisting of decimal numbers (data type double) but I have to use "Number To Fractional String" before I can dump this array into Excel. And then when I open the output excel file, you have all these warnings for each cell saying, "number displayed as string". Is there a way to instead dump numbers (in format double) into the Excel. That way each cell in the excel output file will already be formatted as a number instead of string.
Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming you're actually using ActiveX to write out Excel files. I say this because a lot of people say "Excel files" when they're really talking about spreadsheet-formatted files, generated using the Write to Spreadsheet File VI. That said, the "Value" ("Value 2" in newer versions of Excel) is a variant, so you can wire any datatype to it. Just wire the numeric value directly.

Write an excel file using File adapter

Hi,
I have a scenario in which i have to write an excel file in the target system.
I tried creating a tab delimited file conversion and just named the file as .xls.
When i saw the output file it did look like a excel but a report that i have written to read a excel file cant read it.
The report says 0 records found. It works for other excel sheets that are created manually.
So will this method noit work for creating excel files?
Is using the jexcel api the only option for this?

Write to excel file (into AL11 directory)

Hi,
I am able to loop an internal table and write to csv file in AL11 directory.
But how to write to excel file instead of csv file. And how to format the excel file (for example, column B should be format to numeric and column E should format to date format), and are we able to put like red color on column C for example?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You need to add the tab inbetween all the fields of internal table and upload to application server using
OPEN DATASET
TRANSFER
CLOSE DATASET.
to add the tab inbetween the fields..you can use this code....
concatenete itb-field1 itab-field2......... into string seperated by CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
one exception whicle uploading data to the Application server you need to convert dec or currency field to char type otherwise it will give you short dump.

Not able to write to Excel using Client_OLE2 and webutil

Hi
I am working on Windows 2000 Pro SP4 Oracle Forms Builder 10.1.2.0.2
I am using webutil to invoke Excel Application .
The following code invokes Excel application and saves in the path specified as Test_Excel and writes the "Test Data to be written" to R1C1 when I use OLE2.
But when I replace OLE2 with Client_OLE2 the Excel file is getting created but the data is not written to the cell.
PL/SQL :could not find program unit being called is the error.
Can anybody help me solve this issue ?
Thanks in advance.
FUNCTION WRITE_TO_EXCEL(
excel_file_name in varchar2, ---for eg.. C:\Test_Excel.xls

How to use ActiveX to open/write to Excel template but not to overwrite it

Hi there again (it's me...if anyone recognised me...)
I managed to use ActiveX to open Excel and make it visible onto the screen. But I would like to know how can I make Excel open an Excel template and let me write data to the cells without overwriting the original template. I did try to use another program source such as the EXCEL TOOLKIT but I can't still figure out how does it work for my case. Is there a simpler example for me to refer too? Please help.
Thank you,
juni

Hi Mike..
I have tried to use the examples provided LabView 6.0. I don't understand how to use the Range value to get the data from my global array and also how to open the template and write data to it.
At the moment, I could only open a saved dialog box and a default string filename is used to save my data into a new Excel but not the formatted excel which I want.
If possible, please help again. Vi attached.

Thank you for your responses. Your feedback was helpful. This is what I ended up doing for a solution:
DECLARE
v_JOBTYPE varchar2(8);
v_STATUS varchar2(8);
v_FAILURE varchar2(8);
v_CAUSE varchar2(8);
v_ACTION varchar2(8);
v_GROUP varchar2(30);
BEGIN
SELECT EVT_STATUS, EVT_FAILURE, EVT_CAUSE, EVT_ACTION, EVT_JOBTYPE, USR_GROUP
INTO v_STATUS, v_FAILURE, v_CAUSE, v_ACTION, v_JOBTYPE, v_GROUP
FROM R5EVENTS, R5USERS WHERE R5EVENTS.ROWID = :ROWID
AND USR_CODE = O7SESS.CUR_USER;
IF NVL(v_STATUS, 'X') = 'C' AND NVL(V_GROUP,'X') IN ('MTM','MTL','MTMGT','FTL','FTMGTS','PLANNER','DISPATCH','PMCOOR','R5') AND (v_FAILURE IS NULL OR v_CAUSE IS NULL OR v_ACTION IS NULL) THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR( -20001, 'FAILURE, CAUSE AND ACTION FIELDS MUST BE POPULATED');
END IF;
END;

How to write to Excel TextBox?

I am using LV 8.2 (and the report generation toolkit). I am trying to write to an existing Excel textbox.
The closest I can get is Excel._Worksheet.Shapes.Item(0) to get the Shape reference for the textbox, but I cannot seem to figure out how to put text in it.
Any suggested method will be tried, I'm not prideful

Figured it out, see picture.
If your text is greater than 255 characters, you will have to split it and set the Start input on the TextFrame property node to the correct offset to append to what is already there. Otherwise it does not put the text in the textbox, but does NOT return any error.

How to write to Excel values from following measurements to neighbour cells?

Hi,
I build app for some measurements, "end" of this app:
As you see I have few arrays (with 12 rows). I want to eksport 2 arrays to Excel. In upper case results looks like this:
And everything is OK, this I want, but... When I run app next time I want to save this next results in columns C and D in the same file. Next app run - columns E and F, etc. How can I do this?

Express VIs (such as Write to Measurement Files) are basically "shortcuts" designed to provide a quick fix, but rarely allow much flexibility, such as allowing you to determine where to put your data on subsequent writes.
What you are trying to do can be done with the Report Generation Toolkit, which includes components that directly link to Excel (I'm not sure if Write to Measurement File actually uses Excel or simply writes data in an Excel-compatible format).
However, there's a minor complication. The task you have stated is to write columns, with subsequent columns going to the right of existing columns. There's a function in the Excel-specific sub-Palette to find the last row, which you can use to write rows, with subsequent rows going below the last row. It's not too difficult to use the functions in the Report Generation Toolkit to basically do what you want, but it isn't exactly straight-forward. It would be a lot easier if you could write your data in rows ...
