Error when using Report Generation Toolkit

Hi, all,
I am using Report generation toolkit to generate a report in either
word or excel format. But i even can't run the "new report.vi". It
returns an error code of "Bad variable type (-2147352568)", and seems
this error comes out from the "call by reference" after the
word/excel's "open VI reference". I have checked the folder
"C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW
6.1\vi.lib\addons\_office", there are "_exclsub.llb" and
"_wordsub.llb". The respect VIs are all inside. I don't know why there
is such error. Currently i am using labview 6.1, Microsoft office 2000
and Windows NT 4.0.
Your kindly help will be appreciated very much!!!
Thannk you in advance!! ^_^
Your sincerely,
celery

So, if you place just New Report.vi on the Block Diagram, wire in the report type and run it, it gives you this error? Do the example programs which ship with the toolset give this same error also? If so, I would just reinstall the toolset first and see if that helps. It sounds like the entire install is corrupt.

I am using report generation toolkit 1.1 with Labview 7.0 and Office 2003 professional. The create new report VI opens Excel but throws error (-2147167262- from automation open VI) when I try to open MS word. please help...

Hi Leo22,
Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!

Error Showing While Using Report Generation ToolKit VIs

Hi All,
           When I use report generation VIs Like Excel Easy Tables its showing following errors and i am not able to contiune using the same,
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\utility\NIReport.llb\Set Report Font.vi
    - LabVIEW 8.0 changed a constant that was wired to a Case structure to a hidden control to maintain compatibility with LabVIEW 7.1 and earlier.
    - LabVIEW 8.0 changed a constant that was wired to a Case structure to a hidden control to maintain compatibility with LabVIEW 7.1 and earlier.
what might be the issue, i am using LabVIEW 8.2

Hi,
In
LabVIEW 7.1 and earlier, subVIs could be kept in memory by wiring a
constant to a Case structure and placing the subVI in a case that would
not be executed. For example, you could wire a True constant to the
Case structure and place a subVI in the False case of the Case
structure, and LabVIEW would load the subVI along with the calling VI.
However, from LabVIEW 8.0 onwards, the case structure is optimized to remove code that is not going to be executed. Changing the
constant to a control ensures that this VI behaves as it did in LabVIEW
7.1 and earlier. If the intent is not to keep the subVIs in memory, you
can change this control back to a constant by right-clicking the
control and selecting 'Change to Constant' from the shortcut menu. The
proper way to keep a subVI in memory without calling it is to use a
Static VI Reference.
Good Luck!

Problem with writing continuous data to excel using using Report Generation vi's

Hey Everyone,
I am trying to read the data from DAQ and write to excel continuously using Report Generation vi's.
But when I run the VI, it writes only one interation of the while loop (gathering data from DAQ continuously) and doesn't append the data into the same file when I run it again after stoping the VI.
I have attached the VI i created. Please let me know if you have any idea to solve this issue.
Thanks

There are two problems with your VI. First, the basic logic of writing/appending to a file (Excel, TDMS, anything) should go something like this: Open the file, position yourself at the end of the file, then, in the loop, acquire data and write it to the file until you are finished with data acquisition. When you exit the acquire/write to file loop, then close the file. In particular, the opening and the closing of the file should not be inside the loop.
As others have pointed out, writing to Excel might not be optimal, particularly if you are acquiring data at a high rate (and would therefore be writing a lot of data). We actually use Excel in our data acquisition routine, mainly reading from a WorkSheet to get the parameters of a particular stimulus, but also writing the outcome of the response to the stimulus. As it happens, our "acquisition rate" in this example is on the order of several samples per minute, so there's no problem using Excel (we also sample 16 channels of analog data at 1 KHz -- this gets written as a binary file).
Second, if you really do want to use Excel, use the (existing) Excel file to which you want to append as the "template" argument of the New Report function. Then use the Excel Get Last Row function to position yourself at "end of file", as noted above.
Good Luck.

How to populate the last empty row in Excel without using Report Generation Kit

I wrote a Labview SUb Vi that uses Report Generation Toolkit that is not loaded on the test stand. I am looking to convert it from Report Generation Vi like New Report, Append Table to Report, Dispose Report. The tunneling through all the report generation Vis seems extensive. Code is attached. Thanks, Greg
Greg

Thank you that was a big help...
I used the Excel Forum to get a lot of great ideas. My code is almost working.
There is a 2-D String Array that represents the String data that I am exporting to the Excel File Sheet 1 - 5.
I am attempting to determine the last populated row in sheet 1 then populate the next row of Sheet 1. Since all 5 sheets are populated every time, I should not have to search every sheet for the last row.
I am getting two row populated on sheet 1 with seeming the same data.
I found an AXExcelWrite2D ArrayWorksheet.vi that I thought would work. I think there is a Table determination that is causing me problems. The link is http://lavag.org/topic/13324-labview-and-excel-activex-or-ado/. The Application Invoke Node has a convert formula with "FromReferenceStyle" with R1C1 Attached to it. I am not sure what this function is doing. When I try to bring the function help up, there is a missing file.
I am including both the new active x vi and the report generation vi. Report Generation VI works.
I would appreciate any assistance I can get on this.
Thanks

Is it possible to insert data into two Excel worksheets using Report Generation Toolkit?

I'm using the toolkit to insert data into two separate worksheets in Excel using named cells. The problem is that it tends to favor one sheet or the other. In other words, one sheet will have data and the other no data and vice versa. (Sometimes I get data in both sheets.) Is there something I can do to clear this up or is what I'm trying to do unreasonable? I would like to use two worksheets so one sheet receives text and data. The other sheet is used to format the data into a printable report. (i.e. using Excel's CONCATENATE function) The second (report) sheet is also used to receive plots (JPEG files) from LabVIEW. I'd send the plot images to the first sheet, but I can
not see a way to automatically transfer images from sheet to sheet. I'm using LV 7.1, Win2000 and Toolkit v.1.0.1

Hi,
You can use the "Excel Get Worksheet.vi" under All Functions >> Report Generation >> Excel Specific >> Excel General to specify a particular worksheet as the current worksheet. Then, you can specify which worksheet you want to write to in your VI.
Let me know if you have any further questions and good luck!

Error 7 with Report Generation Toolkit

Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to generate an Excel sheet report for some readings using "Report Generation toolkit" But when trying to generate the report, the report generation part of code is executed and gives Error(7) and there is no report is generated.
The Code I use is atached in the following Link:

Can I get help please?
Thanks in advance

I was able to download and open your compressed file. I unpacked it into a folder.
There are numerous peculiarities that lead me to ask "Are you trying to learn LabVIEW on your own, without a mentor and without training and guidance"? Here are some of the things that I noticed:
Although a Report Generation .lvproj, .aliases, and .lvlps file, the Project, when opened, was empty! Since Projects were added to LabVIEW, almost all development should take place in a Project, but you do not appear to be doing so.
You have an Event Loop (good) to handle pressing Start, Stop, and Report buttons. But instead of using Boolean controls with a Latch property and using a "Value Changed" event, you use Switch Until Released (which, so far, I've never used) and a Mouse Down Event. I suppose this could work, but I've never seen this pattern.
You are writing an Excel Report, but are not using the Excel-specific VIs (such as Excel Easy Table). Why (or Why Not)? The basic idea of an Excel Report is that you create the 2D text data you want to write into Excel, then with a few simple VIs, you open Excel, write the Table, and save the Report. In particular, you don't write out something that resembles the columns of the first few rows of a Spreadsheet (Date, Time, Test, etc.).
Now to your specific question, Error 7. Do you know what this error means? If you click on Help, choose Explain Error, and put in 7, you will see this means "File Not Found". Well, there is an obvious place where a File is used, right when your program starts. I recommend that you put a Probe (do you know about Probes?) or an Indicator on the path going into the main For loop and see what File you are trying to open (hint -- there's an error in the way you build the path, but you should be able to figure out how to fix it).
Good luck. Hope these suggestions get you on a Better Path.

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... :)

Unmerge cells using report generation

Hi,
I have an issue using report generation toolkit, I'm writting text data to a range of cells and the cells get merged because of that. So I need to unmerge cells in order to be able to write again in thoose cells, because if the cells are merged writing cause an error.
I have found a VI in the report generation toolkit to merge cells but I can't find one to unmerge them.
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks
Olivier

Hello Olivier,
What version of LabVIEW do you have?
How are the cells getting merged?
Can you provide information about the error message you are receiving?

Labview using Report generation toolkit in 2011 run time engine

is that possiblity to run the word in labview using Report generation toolkit in 2011 run time engine

It is possible to use the Report generaion toolkit with the run time engine. But you will have to include a lot of VIs from User lib since the report generation toolkit uses a lot of dynamically called VIs and classses.

Error -2417417851 using Report generation toolkit

I try to use the Report Generation toolkit (Version 1.0.1) for MS Office und the example "Generate Report from Template (Excel).vi" return an Error -2417417851
I run Labview 6.02, on Win2000 German, and use Office 97 (Everything is installed (included MS Graph))
Did someone experienced such a problem and found a solution?
Thank you for your Help!

Is LabVIEW and Office both German? Under Control Panel >> Regional Options >> General, is the language set to German? How about under Regional Options >> Input Locale? Reboot if you make any changes.
I would suggest reregistering the nireports.dll. It is located in the National Instruments\Shared\NI Reports directory.

Problem writing to excel file using report generation toolkit

hello everyone, i have this report generation toolkit... and i want to output DAQmx Analog I/P data on to an excel sheet. the DAQmx is programmed to collect
data at 3samples/sec. however, when i see the excel file that Report Generation Toolkit generates, the time stamp is updated every second instead of every 0.33sec.
can anyone please help me? i am using the MS Office Report Express VI.
Now on LabVIEW 10.0 on Win7

@All, I got rid of the express VI, decided to work on the custom low level VIs instead. however, i have a new problem now...
I have a case statement wherein, the user selects if he wants to start generating a report. once the program enters tat loop, the program speed reduces!
can anyone please tell me why is it happening? i ahve attached the vi... also another question.. in this VI, i am capturing the unwanted data into the graph as I am indexin the graph input. how can i make a logic
that the graph captures the data only when I am switching the CREATE REPORT button (which is in the while loop). is there a way that I can append the data to the graph without creating a new graph every iteration? please let me know
thanks
