Hi
I'm having this very problem.I'm trying to open write then save and close and I'm having trouble with the latter. Right now when I run by VI twice, I get a message saying the file is already open and whether I want to open it again, meaning that it wasn't closed in the first place. Is there a Save option rather than a SaveAs option
I tried the VI uploaded by aeastet but I couldn't get it to work.
Thanks

Automatically open, save and close excel?

I need import data from Excel to SQL.
Now, I use tSQL to directly read the excel files and transform to the SQL table.
As the user Excel is not a good format for SQL to read, I need use formula to transform the excel to be a SQL readable format.
Now, I add a sheet to copy the data from the sheet which user input the data and then ask the user to copy the excel to a specific location for import.
However, this will make the data in the excel double and result a large excel file.
I am thinking if it is possible to create a excel to use formula to copy the data from another excel.
Then, I need find some method to open that excel, let the content refresh from the source excel, save and close it.
Then I can directly use this excel for data import.
Is there any simple way to do so? I don't know marco much...
Ivan

No formula could do this (Automatically open, save and close excel).
You need to recode a marco or write a macro. Why donot you ask in msdn?
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
example:
Sub auto_open()
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:01:00"), "wswx"
End Sub
Sub
wswx() If Not ThisWorkbook.Saved
Then ThisWorkbook.Save
ThisWorkbook.Close
End Sub

I'm not sure which version of LabVIEW you are using, nor what some of the VIs are in your code. However, if you have a recent version of LabVIEW (say 2012 or later) and have access to the Report Generation Toolkit, you will have a much easier time working with Excel.
In January of this year, I posted an Example to replace the Excel example that ships with LabVIEW. However, I'm not very good at finding my own posts on this forum, so I can't easily point you to it. However, if you do use the Report Generation Toolkit and do not use ActiveX calls, you will find that the functions to open and close Excel Reports tend to work without significant problems (there is a glitch, that I've reported, whereby if you "manually" close the Excel Workbook and then try to close it with the Report Generation's "Save Workbook", it will actually delete the manually-saved Workbook for you)(there is a "work-around" until NI fixes this ...).

Automation Open and Automation Close (Excel)

Hi
I am using ActiveX to write and read from Excel.
I am writing a program which a case statement is involved. When the boolean is true, the program in the case statment (View Result.VI) will open Excel and display the last save filename file. I run this program individually and not part of the main.vi program.
It displays the filename but once I close the file, the Excel also closed which I don't want it to do that.
I run my Main.vi (together with the View Saved Result.vi) and when I want to view the result, the program open Excel, but then, the screen hang and does not load the Excel properly. But when I run the View Saved Result.Vi, it does load properly.
I was wondering should I use Automation Close f
or every Excel workbook, worksheet or Invoke nodes which I have used in my program.
Please look at my JPEG file for understanding.
Thanks,
jun

I would not call Automation Close for each one. Once you call Automation Close, Excel will exit. That's just how ActiveX is built to work. As long as you want to leave the application open, you shouldn't close the ActiveX Automation controller.
I would actually suggest gettings the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolset for Microsoft Office. I have found it to be extremely helpful and it's actually quite easy to do what you're wanting to do with this Toolset.

Hi,
Did you check the task manager on your computer.
Thank You

How do i close excel.exe in order to install Acrobat XI Pro? Thanks!

I dont have any application opened, even though the Adobe Application Manager still asks to close excel.exe in order to continue installing the Acrobat XI Pro trial version. How do i solve this? Thanks in advance!

It appears that Excel did not close properly. You will have to kill the process using the Task Manager.

DMS - Unable to open and Close Excel docs

Since updating to SP3 :
1. Excel documents, when opened, show as blank in Excel.
Activity Log show as Opened
2. Closing the Doc does not return doc to library
Activity Log shows nothing .... ie - the doc is still open
3. I need to Reset the doc to do any further actions on the Doc
4. After Checking out the Excel Doc, I opened it
Made no changes to the doc
Closed it
GroupWise kicked up an E511 Error during the Close - Unable to REturn
doc to Library
I wasn't in DMS mode while editing the doc !!

It's even worse than I thought
On a very rare occasion, opening the same problematic Excel doc works
But most of the time it does not
Per my previous post, this occurs on both T/S 2003 (with office 2003)
and T/S 2008 R2 (with Office 2010)

Close Excel com object without saving changes?

Hi, I am trying to write a script which opens each of 31 excel workbooks, retrieves a value from a cell, and closes each workbook after retrieving.
My code so far:
$day=1
$excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$excel.Visible=$True
$workbook= $excel.Workbooks.Open("C:\Path|to\File\1_"+$day+"_14.xlsx")
$workbook.sheets.item(1).activate()
$WorkbookTotal=$workbook.Worksheets.item(1)
$value = $WorkbookTotal.Cells.Item(7,13)
$value.Text #this should give you back the Value in that Cell
$excel.close()
My problem is that when the code hits the $excel.close() method, the file stays open, and prompts for saving changes. I don't know why it thinks there are changes, but what I want is to close the workbook without saving changes.
I've just closed 44 open browser tabs, and have tried many things over the last hour, but can't seem to get this one.
If anyone has any advice on how to do this, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,
Please replace below code:
$excel.close()
with
$workbook.close($false)
$excel.quit()
Hope this helps.

Close excel programmatically after user cancels file selection

Greetings all. I apologize but I incorrectly posted this question on the wrong board originally so am posting it again here. I have a VI that I wrote with some help from this site that reads in as many user selected Flat Data Files as desired into Excel. The VI opens Excel, places each Flat Data File on one row and ends, allowing the user to manipulate the Excel data as desired. I have tested it without problems with up to 100 files at a time. The VI minimizes Excel at startup so that it will not block the Select File(s) dialogue. MY problem is this: If the user cancels the file selection, it returns an error and leaves Excel open. I understand how to handle the error, but have been unable to make Excel close automatically if the action is canceled. I have tried to invoke the Close without saving node with no luck... probably because I don't understand how to apply it. Ideally, I want to take the error number to a case statement, and if it is anything other than zero (0), meaning no error, I want Excel to close down. This will eventually be an executable so I need to make this right. Can anybody help? I have attached a zip file with the VI's and some sample Flat Data Files.
Thanks

If you want anything to run after an error you must clear the error status boolean from the error cluster. To do this use the bundle by name and set the status value to FALSE, take this output cluster into the function you wish to run.

Close Excel File after getting data from it

Hi!
I have a big vi to make data aquisiton from a spectrometer. I have the aquisition part and the "save to spreeadsheet" part also. Now I want to make a button to open the data from the excel file and show it in a xy chart. I had some problems but now its working except one important thing. After I read the data from the file and have it in the chart, it seems like the file it's not closed cause if I try to open it in excel, it "hangs" the computer. If I stop the vi, there's no problem. What can I do? I saw here in the forum that its not necessary to open or/and close spreedsheet files but i think this problem is because the file it's not "released" or something. Any help would be great.
Here's the part of the vi that reads the file, and the file itself.
Thanks in advance

Strange. I made the attachment. Anyway, here it is:

Cannot close excel application on an ipad

How do I close an excel file other than restarting?

How did you get the Excel file onto the iPad and in what app are you opening it? If it was an attachment to an email message, you should be able to just tap the spreadsheet to get the header bar, then tap the Done button.

Excel automatically create .tmp file when open after close Excel, tmp file still there

Anytime I save a change to one of my Excel files, the TMP file appears in the destination folder and remains. The "main" Excel file
saves the retains the changes that I made and after each subsequent change, a new TMP file is created...old TMP files are not deleted. This is only happening with Excel files.

Hi,
From your description, I understand that you want .tmp file disappear . If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
This issue can be related to many factors.
First, try to check out file->save-> Save autorecover information, if you use Excel 2010.
If the problem persists, it may be a permissions problem.
Take ownership of the related file
=============
1.      In the "Start" menu, locate "Command Prompt". Right-click and choose "Run as Administrator".
Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Note 2: In Windows XP, click Start >Run, type cmd and press Enter.
2.      Type the following commands, then press "Enter" to execute them one by one. Please note the space before the command and its parameter.
takeown /f <path>\<file name>
cacls <path>\<file name> /G administrators:F
3.      Restart the computer to check the issue.
More references:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308421
If all user has full control rights , the .tmp file still in the folder ,please clean the virus .
You could try disabling this program to see if the problem goes away.
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.
