Excel Toolkit (GOOP)

I'm trying to use the Excel Toolkit (GOOP). I am using LabVIEW 7.1 and I was wondering where should I place the helpfiles so that they work properly?  Can you help me?

I'm assuming that you are talking about the "toolkit" linked here. If so, it was actually developed by a 3rd party, Philips Research, so it is not supported by National Instruments. There is some contact information for the author at the bottom of the readme file included with the package, so I would recommend trying your question there. I've posted it below for your convenience:

    Das Excel Toolkit sollte auch mit LV 5.1.1 funktionieren, da ein entsprechneder download angeboten wird.
    Ein Problem das ich sehe ist, dass das GOOP Paket für LV 5.1.1 nicht mehr downloadbar ist. In der Code library ist nur die Version für LV 6i verlinkt.
    Das andere Problem dürften die verschiedenen Versionen von Excel sein. Soweit ich das verstanden habe basiert das Toolkit auf Active-X Technik. Dann ist das Toolkit an eine Excel Version (hier 97) gebunden oder muß die entsprechenden VIs für die anderen Versionen haben (dem Text nach vermutlich eher nicht). Dies ist die gleiche Problematik wie mit dem Reporting Toolkit for Microsoft Office.

  • Excel Toolkit GOOP Stopped Working

    I spent the better part of a day searching the forums for a solution, and I am a bit stuck.
    I wrote a program some time ago where I would open a chosen Excel file, then read measurements from a multimeter, then drop those values in the active cell.
    This  .exe has worked swimmingly for several years.
    However, just this week IT replaced a PC on the floor and the program is not longer opening Excel.
    I am using the Philips/GOOP Excel plugins for Labview.  The code is written in Labview 2012.
    The trouble PC is Windows 7, 64-bit and office 2007.  This program is still functioning on a similar setup (OS and Office) without issue.  The only difference is the make/model of PC.
    I have tried multiple other Excel vi's and get no response.  This leads me to believe that it is an ActiveX issue, as I am not getting an error or anything.
    So, my question is, can I "update" Activex to get this working, is there somplace to look to see what the issue is, or do I need to start finding a way to re-write the progam without this plugin?
    Anay and all assistance would be appreciated.

    I had a VI that worked on my developement machine but not on the lab machine.  Both had Win7 and LV2013.  Both accounts were Admins.  I requested IT look into it and they changed some settings, I don't know wht, that solved the problems.  Win7 has nice security but it really gets in the way sometimes.  There are times when you need to provide permission for a program to access certain files or folders or make chnages on the machine.  The dialogs for that don't always pop up when a program tries to do it, things just don't happen.  I'm not up on Win7 permissions like I have been on previous Windows versions so I'm not sure of the settings but that would be the first place I'd start looking.
    Of course, I could be wrong about this but with what you're saying it looks to me like the most likely possibility.

  • Problem with GOOP Excel Toolkit in Labview

    Hi, all,
    I have a Labview program using GOOP Excel Toolkit. I import some data from a text file into Excel file, then save the Excel file using the path and file name I input.  This program is working fine on one computer, but when I copy this file to another computer, the run arrow becomes broken. The error message shows that in one of the SubVI of GOOP, Excel Save.vi, "Invoke Node: contains unwired or bad terminal". Below is the picture of excel save.vi. I did not change any wire in that SubVI, somehow it becomes unexcutable on the new computer.
    Did any one have this problem before? How to solve this problem?
    Thank you very much.

  • How to create an excel workbook using the excel toolkit

    I've starte working with the excel toolkit combined with the GOOP toolkit. After finding out that the GOOP Toolkit apparently has problems working with LabView 5, with which I developed my application, I changed to LabView 6. My first step was to open an existing excel workbook. Here I was successful. On the other hand I could not create a workbook using the excel open vi. Did I miss something?

    There's an input to the excel open that chooses "open workbook from file" or
    "open new workbook" which should do it. Unless you meant 'worksheet' in
    which case there is another function in the tookit to do that.

    I'm pretty sure the excel toolkit is written for 5.1, and don't know why it
    would give you problems. Do you have excel installed? I'm not sure what
    you mean that you cant link the *.llb in function pallette. Have you tried
    opening the llb using '\functions\select a vi' ? As to how to read two
    cells at once, you could read a block of cells including both cells (ie:
    A5..D10) and then pull the data out of the array.

  • Excel toolkit --excel save.vi is broken arrow

    After installing the Goop toolkit and excel toolkit . I found that the "excel save.vi" having broken arrow and give me an error.

    Ok, first -- do you have excel installed? Sorry, had to ask.
    It seems a little odd that you say the vi has a broken arrow and also gives
    you an error message. Does that mean that the vi will try to run even
    though it has a broken arrow but then it gives an error message, or do you
    mean that even without running it it gives an error message?
    I once had a vi with a broken arrow but no error in the error list window.
    I clicked the box to show warnings and it turned out that it was a warning
    that caused the broken arrow.

  • How to create report on excel without excel toolkit??

    Can anyone please tell me how to create an excel based report (much like what an excel toolkit produces) without having the luxury of
    an additional Microsoft Office toolkit/???
    thanks
    Now on LabVIEW 10.0 on Win7

    okey... simple question... i got the NI OFFICE toolkit, and i want to save all my DAQ data on an excel sheet and plot the graph for it....(create a report)
    my sampling speed it not much, 1 sample/sec. i am using the MS Office Report.vi to save the report to a file. however, i observe that if i add the MS Office Report.vi in while loop,
    the program keeps on asking for a file name every iteration unlike the Save to Measurement file.vi (where it asks only once and then keeps on adding data to the next file unless 
    any other logic is applied). also, it only saves the first 3 rows of data.
    how do i make the code so that the excel file saves the entire data and the graph plots a summary kind of plot of the data i have from the DAQ.
    Thanks in advance.

  • MS Office (Excel) Toolkit - trouble formatting cells

    I have the MS Office toolkit 1.1 and LabVIEW 7.0. I am using 'Excel easy table' to write arrays of strings (number strings and titles, etc.) to a spreadsheet but I also want to control the number of decimal places and the number format.
    I want to use 'Custom ##0.0E+0' number format (engineering notation) and I want to have 3 or 4 decimal places. Currently, the format of the number written into Excel changes based on whether I converted from a number to an engineering string (engineering notation is not preserved in Excel) or if the string in the array is read straight from my GPIB query. I want to be able to control these things within LabVIEW. Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Sara

    Hi Sara,
    The easiest thing to do would be for you to create your new report based off a template Excel file. I have attached a sample VI and a sample Excel template that show how to do this. If you know which way you want individual columns to be formatted, this is the easiest solution. If, however, you might have different formatting that needs to be assigned dynamically, you will have to use the more advanced Excel VIs, like the "Excel Set Cell Format.vi", located in the Excel Format subpalette. There is an example that ships with the Report Generation Toolkit that uses this VI to set the colors of certain cells in the spreadsheet...the example is located at examples\office\Excel Examples.llb\Conditionally Formatted Spreadshee
    t.vi.
    I hope these suggestions help. Good luck,
    -D

  • Excel Toolkit Get True False

    Hi,
    I am using the excel get data toolkit to get string.  It is reading in a for loop for a row by row read.  It is reading a string fine, but when the element is TRUE, the output is 0 in string.  When the element is FALSE, the output is -1 in string.  Why is that?  Why aren't I reading TRUE and FALSE instead.
    Yik
    Kudos and Accepted as Solution are welcome!

    There are two options:
    1. As Ravens Fan mentioned, you can put quotes around your TRUE and FALSE strings in Excel directly. This will likely be really tedious.
    OR
    2. Since you're reading line by line, you can check for a 0 or -1 are replace it with the TRUE and FALSE strings, respectively. This just requires a case structure after the read.

  • How to use ActiveX to open/write to Excel template but not to overwrite it

    Hi there again (it's me...if anyone recognised me...)
    I managed to use ActiveX to open Excel and make it visible onto the screen. But I would like to know how can I make Excel open an Excel template and let me write data to the cells without overwriting the original template. I did try to use another program source such as the EXCEL TOOLKIT but I can't still figure out how does it work for my case. Is there a simpler example for me to refer too? Please help.
    Thank you,
    juni

    Hi Mike..
    I have tried to use the examples provided LabView 6.0. I don't understand how to use the Range value to get the data from my global array and also how to open the template and write data to it.
    At the moment, I could only open a saved dialog box and a default string filename is used to save my data into a new Excel but not the formatted excel which I want.
    If possible, please help again. Vi attached.
