Excel MSGraph Axis Value w/ Report Gentration Tool kit help needed

Hello,
I am working on making all my Printed Data sheets dynamic so I don't need to have an Excel Template for each test I create. I have been able to make my own modifications to some of the Report Generation tool kit VIs to add little things I need or want changed, but I am stuck.
I currently have LabVIEW writing Charts in Excel, using the Insert Graph VIs from the tool kit but I want to be able to make the X Axis Values invisible but leave the Y values for this particular data sheet. I have looked through all my documentation but cannot find anything referring to setting that.
What is the correct ActiveX Method and/or Property that I need to incorporate to do this? I found that in Excel if I click on the Chart it is in the Chart Options Menu but I cannot find a way to control it through LabVIEW.
I am currently using 7.1.1 with Office 98 and the Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.0
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jeff

Hello,
LabVIEW should have access to everything that the excel ActiveX object publishes. One way to discover how to do it would be to record a macro in excel, where your recorded actions are on the x-axis as you desire. This way you will have a macro which you can run that will do this for you. Perhpas more importantly, you will then be able to look at the code for that macro you recorded, and make the equivalent calls in LabVIEW, which should basically expose which ActiveX calls on that object achieve the axis modification. In any event, to help you with this process, below are some useful links. Also, you will find other threads on this matter if you search the discussion forums.

How to Use 2 Separate Y-Axis in Report generating Tool Kit

Hello
How do I make 2-Y-Axis chart on Word document from Report Generating Tool Kit?
Now can make Chart to appear in Word document with Multiple plots, but all plots go to same Y-Axis.
I want to put in chart two Plots with Same X-Axis, but different Y-Axis.
I know it is possible manually in word, but how can I do it with Labview RGTK?

hmm, yes. I guess that is the only alternative. But is there anyone who has made something similar in the past?
I am not sure how to interpolate this data to an array of 30 000 data points without loosing data in the beginning.
Since it is exponential, the first few dozen datapoints are at really low freq. All about 10.xx Hz and increasing.
Then in the end of the array, i have like one datapoint at 15kHz, one at 15,5kHz etc. Will be alot of gaps in my array and alot of lost data in the beginning I think.
It's strange though that labview doesn't allow for waveform, or atleast let me put an XY-array into these methods since i believe always you want an logarithmic freq-axis when having a frequency-response to handle.
Anyway, anyone who has a nice little VI that interpolates data like this?

Report generation tool kit not printing

I had the report generation tool kit version 1.01 for some time but never used it. I was comfortable with printing front panel vi 's.
But now I installed it on my computer with a windows 2000 and LabView 6.02 .
I created an application (executable) that will print (using the report
genartion tool kit). The application works fine in my development computer
(win 2000).
When I installed it on another computer with a win 2000, it prints as
expected
but when I try to exit I get a message from windows that the application is not responding (I have to go to task manager and terminate the application).
Both computers have word and Excell installed
I installed the application on a third computer (win 2000), but this com
puter does not have word or excell installed. The application does not print the
portion of the software that uses the report generation tool kit, but it can print the front panel of vi's (set to print an end of excution).
In all 3 computers, I have runtime engine 6.02 installed. My vi is simply
the example vi ""Sample test report.vi"", but customized to my application, printing standard report.
What is happening ?

Based on what you sent, the version of Excel and Windows that are being used is a non issue since none of the code makes any calls to either one. They all refer to the older version of the report generation VIs that use NI's proprietary report generator.
I can think of two explainations. First, you aren't using what you think you are. Second, NI retained the same VI names when they went to the Word/Excel version of the generator, and I am linked into the old version.

Report Generation Tool Kit

Hi,
I have LabView7.1 and Labview8.0 installed in my pc.Recently i installed Report generation tool kit(version 1.0.1.0)
In the functions palette i couldnt able to see the Excel Specific VI sub palette and Word Specific VI sub palette.
Can u tell me what is the problem
Regards
Meenatchi

You can not see it in either version? Or has it been installed to the wrong version? There has been postings on this board regarding how to get it to install to multiple versions. I have not found tha to work. I go in a 'manually' copy the VIs from add-ons, examples, and help to the latest version of LabVIEW that I have. But if you look here you should find the help you need.

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... :)

Report Generation tool kit for MS office (Opening an existing excel file and appending to the bottom)

I don't have any problems creating and filling an excel sheet with data. I use the New Report.vi, Easy Title.vi, and Easy Text.vi to create the file. I then save and dispose properly.
What I don't seem to be able to do is open the exsting file and append data to the end of the sheet.
Thanks in advance for your help.
todd

Hi Todd,
You can do this by creating a new Excel report with the existing excel file path wired to the "template" input. Then use "Excel Get Last Row.vi" (located under Report Generation\Excel Specific\Excel General) to obtain the location of the last row. Then use that location to input new data into the file.
Hope this helps,
Dan

I was using Illustrator CS5 last Friday without issue then suddenly I lost the ability to use the Black selection arrow top left in the tool menu.
Now it will only select pieces of objects, but will not create a box for item move and resizing.
Is there a mater reset to go back to go back to default settings?
Or does anyone know how I can switch this back?
I need help please.
Thanks,

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.
Solved!

Thanks.
The Word object model is probably the most complicated of the Office suite and you are loosing the calculation ability of Excel.

Load excel file value to graph problem(about x-axis value)

Hello,everyone,I have this problem.
When I load the excel file which I saved before,the waveform came out normally,but the x-axis of graph waveform was not shown the number I want,it shown the number based on the no.of samples.
What I want is plot the x-axis value based on the rate(pts/s).For this case,rate is 50prs/s,so after calculation...0.02s per reading.totally is 20 seconds.I tried to use XY-Graph,but didn't solve out.

is it always 0.02s per reading or did you get this figure from some calculation?? in anyway, you just connect that value (the constant 0.02 or calculated amount) to a Property Node... you link the Property Node to Waveform Graph 2... under property choose X-Scale -> Offset and Multiplier -> Multiplier...
i'm not sure if this is the best method but hope it helps... i've tried it on your code and it works...
