Excel Graph Axis Title

Hi all,
Is there a way of naming the axes titles of an excel plot created using the Report Generation Toolkit? There does not seem to be such an option in the excel specific functions of the toolkit... Could it be done through activeX?? I tried to follow the suggestions in the link below but no luck...
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/labview-excel-2007​-Axis-title/m-p/1226794/highlight/true#M521825 
Thanks a lot for your time..

Hi,
I have attached a VI incl. many useful active-x commands for plotting graphs to excel. It is a large VI but it includes what you are looking for.. Scroll to the right and locate the 8th active-x box called chartwizard. This is what you are looking for. I have added constants indicating were the name of each axis goes in the wizard box. If you are not familiar with the rest of the active x commands just follow the sequence and you'l' be able to plot an excel graph fully customised through labview.
Hope it is of help

  • How to insert the value axis in a EXCEL graph

    Hello,
    how can I do to insert the value axis (name) and graph tilte in a EXCEL graph using report generation in LabVIEW??
    I'm using excel specific functions, but I don't find it anywhere.
    THANKS.

    Hi,
    the function Excel Set Graph Font.vi has an input parameter called Title that corresponds to the name of the axis selected through Axis Type parameter.
    And the funtion Excel Insert Graph.vi has an input parameter called Graph Title.
    You can see an example called Column Graph (Excel).vi in Find Examples>Toolkits and Modules>Report Generation.

  • Modify x-axis display of an excel graph

    Hi,
    I'm want to use the excel report structure in LabVIEW.  I want to format the graph so that only the start and finish values appear on the graph in excel.  There doesn't appear to be a VI to do this. I also checked LabVIEW 8.5\examples\office\MSGraph Examples.llb but could not find this feature.
    Does anyone know if there is anyway that I can do this using LabVIEW?
    Thanks Sean

    So I guess the short answer is that LabVIEW does not have a VI to do this.
    I tried the following macro:
    Sub fun2()
        ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).Select
        With ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory)
            .TickLabelSpacing = 1000
            .TickMarkSpacing = 500
        End With
    End Sub
    I works fine with a graph created in excel but doesn't work with the one created by the LabVIEW VI's. 
    Unfortunately I am not an expert at VB macro's or indeed why LabVIEW is formatting in a strange fashion.  
    Are the LabVIEW VI's useless?  Is it better to create ones own macro to create an excel graph?  I've wasted a lot of time so far but if anyone has any ideas I'd be delighted to hear them.  
    Plan B is to create a template with the graphs already formatted and insert the numbers.  I don't want to do this the template is very big and time consuming to open  but in the absence of a better solution.....

  • SSRS 2008 - How to chnage the display axis title?

    Hi all,
    I have a bubble chart. Currently the values shown on y axis are 1,2,3 and 4. Since it is mandatory to have a numeric value on y axis so i  want to change the axis title just for display.  I want to change the axis title to some string value
    just for display. How can i do that ?
    Alok Aswal
    Thanks in advance :)

    Hi Alok,
    Based on my research, if we directly add the expression Fields!field_name.Value or other string values in the Custom Number format property, the axis will all display the first value of the field. So we cannot directly achieve the goal. But if there are
    only three values on the Y Axis, we can use
    excel format code as Peter suggested.
    If there are more than three values on the Y Axis, we can use a table control to simulate the Axis labels to work around this issue. For more details, please refer to the steps below:
    Drag a table to design surface, then delete the table header and last two columns.
    Insert the expression which have some string values as below to the cell:
    =Fields!field_name.Value
    Set HideLabels property of Y Axis to True, then adjust the table position so that it aligns to the Y Axis of chart.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • XY Graph Axis Custom Scale

    I have a graph in excel that I am trying to duplicate in labview.  I'm having trouble setting the scaling for both axis so they look like the excel graph.  Any suggestions?  I attached the vi I'm using that just plots one line currently.

    If you create a property node of the x scale marker values, you can control the displayed x scale values except the min and max values are always displayed. Also make sure the x scale style is select to display the intermediate values.
    - there is always an easy way, but it is always the hardest to find

  • Excel Graph Legend Formatting - Report Generation Tool

    Hi all,
    I'm currently using the Report Generation Tool for Labview '11 and cannot seem to figure out how to edit the font properties for a graph's legend. Attached is a screenshot of an example output.
    The Excel Graph Font.vi's Help file says that it should be able to modify the legend, yet I can't seem to figure out how to configure it to do so. If anyone can walk me through the steps or tell me what I am missing, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I've attached what I've done so far, but could someone help me (or instruct me) on making this VI work with Word?
    Thanks.
    The Word object model is probably the most complicated of the Office suite and you are loosing the calculation ability of Excel.

  • Axis titles don't display on cartesian chart

    I use Adobe Flex Builder 3 to create charts for use in a
    larger web application. Since moving from Flex Builder 2 to Flex
    Builder 3, the axis titles are no longer being displayed.
    In my mx:Application, I declare an mx:CartesianChart. I
    dynamically add ColumnSeries to a ColumnSet based on the contents
    of an XML file loaded using a URLRequest. I then add the ColumnSet
    as the only element of the chart.series Array. The rest of the
    chart (including the legend) displays correctly.
    The axes are explicitly defined as part of the
    mx:CartesianChart:
    <mx:CartesianChart left="{legend.width}" top="30"
    right="0" bottom="0" id="chart" dataProvider="{xmlDoc.elements()}"
    showDataTips="true" dataTipFunction="formatDataTips">
    <mx:verticalAxis>
    <mx:LinearAxis id="vAx" autoAdjust="true" title="Dollars"
    labelFunction="formatVerticalLabel"/>
    </mx:verticalAxis>
    <mx:horizontalAxis>
    <mx:CategoryAxis id="hAx" categoryField="Year"
    title="Year"/>
    </mx:horizontalAxis>
    <mx:horizontalAxisRenderers>
    <mx:AxisRenderer axis="{hAx}" labelRotation="-60"/>
    </mx:horizontalAxisRenderers>
    </mx:CartesianChart>
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I've isolated the issue, but I'm not sure if it's a bug or if
    something I'm doing wrong. The following simplified version of my
    chart application doesn't display the axis titles:
    [code]
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    layout="absolute">
    <mx:Legend dataProvider="{chart}" left="0" top="25"
    id="legend"/>
    <mx:CartesianChart left="{legend.width}" top="30"
    right="0" bottom="0" id="chart">
    <mx:verticalAxis>
    <mx:LinearAxis title="Dollars"/>
    </mx:verticalAxis>
    <mx:horizontalAxis>
    <mx:CategoryAxis title="Year"/>
    </mx:horizontalAxis>
    </mx:CartesianChart>
    </mx:Application>
    [/code]
    The following version does:
    [code]
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    layout="absolute">
    <mx:Legend dataProvider="{chart}" left="0" top="25"
    id="legend"/>
    <mx:CartesianChart left="{0}" top="30" right="0"
    bottom="0" id="chart">
    <mx:verticalAxis>
    <mx:LinearAxis title="Dollars"/>
    </mx:verticalAxis>
    <mx:horizontalAxis>
    <mx:CategoryAxis title="Year"/>
    </mx:horizontalAxis>
    </mx:CartesianChart>
    </mx:Application>
    [/code]
    The only difference is the left definition for
    mx:CartesianChart. When it's defined in terms of the width of the
    legend, the axis titles disappear. Is there another way that I
    should be displaying my chart using the full span of the
    application?
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Change line styles in an Excel graph

    I am using the report generation toolkit in LabVIEW 2009 and need to change the line styles of three lines on a graph in Excel.  I found the property node that allows me to change the line style but I am not sure what to pass into the varient.  I have tried the name (ie xlDash) and the integer value (ie -4115) but neither seem to work.  Has anyone tried this and can offer some advice.
    Thank you,
    AJL
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I should have posted this sooner but I found my own solution.  I decided to read the properties from an excel graph and found that LV uses an integer thats value corresponds to where in the list in Excel the line style is.  IE continuous has a value of 1 since it is first in the drop down in Excel, Dash has a value of 2 since it is second in the list, etc.  One problem with this is that your code is  not very robust since the result can change if Microsoft changes the order of their drop down list in newer verisons of Excel.

  • Excel graphs in Word document are totally black

    I have a large word document that contains quite a few excel graphs.  Many of the graphs translated into acrobat fine, but some of them are totally black with the line portion of the graph showing up on a black background.  Any ideas what may be causing this?

    If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
    Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Word conversion, with the response that different versions of Word have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)
    Go to the Acrobat update page and apply the updates for your version of Acrobat
    IN NUMBER ORDER (updates are not cumulative so, using version 8 as an example, you must apply 8.1.0 before the 8.1.1 update)
