3D Pie chart from Excel to labview

Hi every one,
How can I Import a 3D pie chart from Excel to labview ?
Thx

There is no direct import mechanism for that. You would need to re-create the pie chart in LabVIEW, as LabVIEW has different 3D graphs than Excel. You would need to get the data out of Excel and use the 3D graphs to draw it. As for getting the data out of Excel, there have been numerous posts on reading data from Excel using ActiveX - just search for "read excel labview". You can also find many links to lots of other examples in the Excel thread. Please note: the Excel thread is a repository of links. Do not post a question in that thread.

  • When copying a Pie Chart from one Excel tab to a new Excel tab, the chart data is still referring to the original table

    Hi,
    In Excel 2007, I have a pie chart on sheet 1. I want to make a copy of the pie chart from sheet 1 and past into sheet 2, and change the table data in sheet 2 to get new chart recalculated based on new table values in sheet 2.
    However, the chart in sheet 2 is still pointing to the table data in sheet 1.
    All the cells in sheet 1 have relative cells.
    Please advise.
    Thanks - Bijan

    Hello Wind,
    As teylyn suggested:
    "An Excel chart is hard-wired to its data source. You can copy and paste a chart to a different sheet and it will still refer to the initial source data."
    So I did create the template and used in my 2nd tab which worked perfectly. However, I had an issue with merged cells which I am using for my data, and tylyn suggested that I provide the excel file that I am working with, and I did.
    So now I need help as how to make merged cells work when I try to create a pie chart from template based on new data (which reside in mergerd cells).
    P.S. I cannot resize my cells to make the data and labels fit into one call, so I have to have merged cells.
    Thanks

  • Keep pie chart from shrinking due to long labels outside of chart

    I was wondering is there a way to keep my pie chart from shrinking when I have labels outside of the chart that are long?  Is there an option to wrap the labels, or dynamically shrink the font size of the labels, or both, so that my pie chart doesn't
    have to be shrunk?
    Please provide details on how this is done if you know how.  Thanks.

    Hi jiwalkersm,
    According to your description, you want to avoid your pie chart shrinking when the label outside is too long. Right?
    In Reporting Service, if we want to always keep the pie chart size, we can set Docks into Default in Legend Properties, and let the legend not to show outside of chart. This will keep the position and size of the chart, but the legend will stay above the
    chart which is not good for view. So we try to use expression to set font size in Legend Properties. However, we don’t have any function which can make the label wrapped. So we can only set font size based on the length of the label (For example: =IIF(Len(Field!Name.Value)>10,”5pt”,”8pt”)).
    If this workaround still can’t be effective, we suggest you delete the legend, and create a tablix next to the chart, put the data into it.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best Regards,

  • Creating a pie chart from a list of indicators

    Hello:
    I'm working with WebIntelligence XI R2 and I have created a table that displays a list of indicators:
    Indicator 1   15
    Indicator 2   35
    Indicator 3   40
    Indicator 4   10
    The problem is that I want to create a pie chart from this table but it seems that Webi is unable to convert a list of numbers in a pie chart.
    Is there any workaround to make this chart, without having to change the universe? ( I suppose that if I convert the four indicators into a single dimension it will be possible, but I would like to avoid that).
    Thanks in advance and regards,
    Joaquín Castellano

    Please disregard. i went back to the original blog code and started over, and figured this out.

  • Problems pasting pie chart from Numbers into Pages table

    Hello,
    I'm trying to paste a pie chart from Numbers into a table cell in Pages 09 but it doesn't allow me. Would you know why?
    Thanks,
    Pedro

    Probably because it is a smart object connected back to the Numbers document.
    If you want it purely as a graphic, try copying the chart in Numbers switching to Preview.app and going command n which will make it a pdf file, then copy that and paste that into Pages. But it will no longer be a live chart.

  • How can I have a csv file read from excel to labview.

    Hi,
    I would like to read multiple csv files from excel to labview, creating a duplicate of the tables in excel, which would allow me to then draw some graphs for data analysis and comparison between the two.
    Are there any examples that could be useful to what I am trying to do?
    Thanks

    From one of the csv files, I only require 3 of the columns. Is there a way to only read that part of the csv file?
    No. The characters in a file are just one long string and delimiters and linefeeds are special characters that defined where fields and lines start and end. As such, columns are interlaced into the file and consists of many small sections, where the position depends on the number of characters in each field, which is typically variable. You really need to read the entire file, then only look at the interesting columns later.

  • Insert Pie Chart to Excel Using OpenXml

    I managed to implement the code(I got from MSDN) to create a bar graph in excel, I am however facing challenges in creating a piechart, I had thought that I can manipulate the code a little bit and  produce a pie chart-but I have spent nights and
    nights still can't find my way to create a pie chart. I need help on this, I would appreciate if you can help me through this.

    Hi F.Shuba,
    From the description, you want to create a piechart using Open XML.
    A recommend way is that create a pie chart manually and use Open XML SDK 2.5 Productivity Tool to open this workbook. Then you can get the code for creaing the chart for reference.
    If you still have issue, please feel free to let me know.

  • Sending arrays from Excel into Labview

    I want to send an array from Excel VBA into a LabView VI.
    The Excel example shows how to send individual numbers and return an array into Excel but not send an array.
    Everything tried sends blank arrays into LabView, which can then be modified in LabView and returned to Excel.
    A VBA code snippit that does not work is:
    Sub LoadData()
    ' LoadData Macro
    ' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+l
    ' This is an example to demonstrate LabVIEW's Active-X server capabilities.
    ' Executing this macro loads a LabVIEW supplied example VI "Frequency Response.vi",
    ' runs it and plots the result on an Excel Chart.
    Dim lvapp As LabVIEW.Application
    Dim vi As LabVIEW.VirtualInstrument
    Dim paramNames(0)
    Dim paramVals As Variant
    Set lvapp = CreateObject("LabVIEW.Application")
    viPath = lvapp.ApplicationDirectory + "\examples\apps\freqresp.llb\DAK Frequency Response.vi"
    Set vi = lvapp.GetVIReference(viPath)   'Load the vi into memory
    vi.FPWinOpen = True                     'Open front panel
    paramNames(0) = "Foo"
    paramVals = Sheet1.Range("j1:j1000").Value
    Call vi.Call(paramNames, paramVals)
    This code generates an error - expecting 1D array or variants.
    However, if I supply the correct array, then LabView thinks it is empty
    'foo' is a cluster
    'Array' is a double array
    Neither work to receive the data

    Thanks for the reply but that approach will be difficult.  The problem to solve is relatively simple IF LabView could read arrays (it writes arrays easily).  Here is the problem:
    I want to convolute two large arrays.  I have written VBA programs to do this but they take too long - over 30 sec whereas the LabView version take <1 sec IF I could get the data into LabView.
    The convolute is part of an optimization program that goes though many loops so that it takes hours to run efficiently AND if I manually change cells in the spreadsheet, then it takes 30sec to come back as VBA does not respect clean cells (for some reason).
    I was trying to write a function in VBA to do this calculation via LabView rather than VBA.  One way to  do this is to write a text file in VBA and read in LabView, then pass the results back or maybe the clipboard as a buffer.  That is faster but clumsy.  You could also have LabView look for dirty cells and then do the calculation as the server rather than the client.  Again, time consuming and cumbersome.  I have written pure LabView code to do the curve fitting but prefer to use Excel as that is easier to incorporate and work with the data.   You can do convolute using FFTs but Excel does not do that correctly - they CANNOT make their FFTs into a function (VBA functions cannot modify cells in the spreadsheet but only return variables.  FFT modifies cells so cannot be called from a function, only a macro, which then needs to be updated manually).  Again, I can kluge VBA (real kluge this time) to make FFTs work as a function BUT prefer the LabView solution, if possible, as I am not sure the FFT will actually save time.
    I am not sure if the problem is LabView's fault or Excel's (2013) fault that the variables are not set-up properly.  LabView claims to be able to do this.  Again, you can pass single variables into LabView and read back arrays but try as I might, I cannot get arrays into LabView.
    Any help in sending arrays (maybe Labview expects a variant variable and needs to convert it somehow) would be appreciated.  Variants are suppose to be able to be converted automatically but maybe there is a bug in LabView (2010) that does not handle input variant arrays correctly (I have tried making them clusters, double arrays, ect).  LabView thinks that all the arrays sent by VBA are empty. If LabView modifies the same array, VBA sees that modification so that the addresses appear to be sent correctly i.e. the array "handle" is being sent to LabView or else it could not fill the array to send back to VBA.
    If ever this is solved, I will put on-line the solution for others as again marrying both programs will have advantages.  Others may find this interesting is marry LabView with Excel so that LabView does some of the heavy calculations that Excel has kluged. 

  • Copying chart from Excel to Illustrator

    The calibri font used for graphs in Excel are not recognized when the graphs are copied into Adobe Illustrator. Other than changing the font to arial or another font, does anyone know a workaround? I upgraded from CS4 to CS6 on my mac and I still get the same error, "An unknown shading type was encountered," and the letters in the chart get substituted with jumbled symbols. I've tried copy the chart directly from excel to illustrator as well as saving it as a pdf or postcript file and then opening in illustrator. But neither approach works.
    A friend managed to open the chart in Illustrator (CS5 on a mac) which gave the prompt that it cannot read the font and that it will display it as outlines. This worked and the text was displayed properly. But for some reason I never received this promopt whether using illustrator from CS4 or CS6.
    Thanks

  • How to randomly select data from excel using labview.

    A very good day to all. I am actually working on a system that will be selecting integer number from randomly generated set of number. If that wouldnt be possible, I would like the system to be able to select number from the set of numbers which have already been randomly generated from excel. kindly help me with the solution. To make myself clear, supposing I have set of numbers from 1 to 10, I want a labview setup that will be picking these numbers one after the other either with replacement or without from excel or self generated. I know this is possible in matlab but would prefer labview if possible.  Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Most, if not all, of the languages I've run across have a rand() function that returns a random number between 0 and 1.  Getting some other range is up to the programmer.  Usual method is to multiply by the range you need and add an offset to adjust the mean.  For instance if you need a random number between 200 and 300 the formula might look like  " rand()*100+200 ".   If you need an integer, you can use the round function (which will leave it as a float with no decimal pportion) or the conversion (to int).    All of this is doable and straightforward in LabVIEW.  Have a look: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/FCCDCD678EEF3A9186256D7B008054F5

  • Pie chart from Largest slice of another pie chart.

    Greetings!
    I'm trying to come up with a method which will allow me to create a pie chart of the subgroups from the largest slice of an existing pie chart. The "parent" pie chart will change depending upon the parameters given in the report.
    declare @dataTable table (category varchar(10), task varchar(10), timeSeconds int)
    insert into @dataTable (category, task, timeSeconds)
    values
    ('Alpha','Scrub',100),
    ('Alpha','Sweep',100),
    ('Alpha','Polish',100),
    ('Bravo','Wash',200),
    ('Bravo','Dry',200),
    ('Bravo','Fold',200),
    ('Charlie','Paint',300),
    ('Charlie','Sand',300),
    ('Charlie','Spackle',300)
    In this example, when a pie chart is produced, Charlie would have the largest slice. I then want to produce a pie chart showing only the tasks contained within the Charlie category, but which has the flexibility to render if the Alpha or Bravo groups are
    the largest slice next time.
    Thanks

    For anyone else attempting the same thing: I wound up bringing in a reference to the largest slice using a subquery in the initial query, and using that column as a filter on the second pie chart.
    I was hoping for a solution from within SSRS itself, but settled on that. I'll leave the question open in the hope someone knows how to achieve the same result from within SSRS.

  • Possible to Import a Chart from Excel?

    I beleive you can import a chart to XCelsius from Excel but can you do so to Crystal Reports?
    This would solve my current chart problems.

    Hi Philky,
    Try the following to insert charts into your CR.
    Go in Insertu2014OLE Objectu2014and select Microsoft Excel 97-2003 Wookbooku2014It will open a excel sheet.  You can open your chart and insert as OLE Object.
    Or
    You create a chart in excel and copy the chart and past in your Crystal Report.  If you double click on your chart it will take you to excel sheet again.

  • How to create a pie chart from a pop-up menu in Numbers?

    I would like to be able to select a persons name from the Pop-up menu in the E column to chose who has bought an item. I would then like to create a pie chart showing how much money each person has spent on buying the items and have this update automatically. I have no idea how I would go about doing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Costs per person, with "Ali & Baker" as a separate entity (since no provision for separating costs)
    The formula is this:
    =SUMIFS($Cost, $Who Bought it?, "="&$Who Bought it?, $Bought?, "=TRUE")
    The reasoning is:
    Sum all Costs, if the following conditions are true:
    $Who Bought it?, "="&$Who Bought it?
    Group items in the 'Who Bought it? column that match the item in the same row as the formula.
    $Bought?, "=TRUE"
    Only include items that have actually been bought.
    Screenshot
    I have highlighted the selected cell in red. 
    The coloured columns show which ones are relevant to the formula.
    To create the totals, I added Footer rows to the table.
    You could make a separate table if you prefer.
    To create the pie chart, I selected just the costs in the footer rows, and clicked on Charts.

  • How to import timestamps from excel into labview

    hello everyone, how to import timestamps from a column in excel into labview?
    I am bugged with this problem for long now... can anyone help please?
    Now on LabVIEW 10.0 on Win7

    LV and Excel use a different reference time (LV was 1.1.1904?). You need to convert between both references. I don't remember the details how I did it and I'm away from my code base.
