Format time for excel

I want to take the time data i have, and make it 'nice' for excel, so when i send this array of numbers to excel, excel knows the time and date and shows that. does this have to be done in excel afterwards (by formatting the col)? or do i have to make the time into a string and write the time string to excel as an array of strings? can i even do that? I'm useing the write to spreadsheet vi example.

It would be best to format the time in LabVIEW before you send it to Excel. The best format for time numeric is to select its representation to be I32, and under Format&Precision select Decimal format, Relative Time (seconds).
The attached example shows how to measure the current time, and display it in an array with relative time format. It is created with LabVIEW 6.1

  • Disk Utility - Format Time for 500GB (Zero Out Data)

    Hello.
    Is there one length of time for formatting a hard drive with one pass of Zero Out Data? For instance, does the length of time change depending if you format with zeros using USB2, FW400, FW800, or eSATA?
    *My Format Setup*
    LaCie Rugged 500GB All-Terrain (USB2 & FW400/800)
    FW800 Cable
    GUID Partition Table
    Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    Zero Out Data (One Pass)
    I'm formatting with a FW800 connection. Disk Utility has said it will take 1.5 hours for about 3.5 hours now. The blue bar has progressed even though the time remaining is incorrect. At this rate, it will take seven hours to format 500GB.
    I'm going to be formatting multiple 500GB and 1TB drives, and I'm wondering if the time I'm experiencing is normal. Therefore, it should take a day to format 1TB with one pass of zeros. Is this correct?
    Thank you for your help! =)

    It takes a long time to zero out data on a 500GB drive. The larger the drive, the longer it takes. I don't think the connection makes a difference, since each of your listed options are high speed. Never tried it on an external with USB 1.1, so can't give you any real time experience there. But it will take well over an hour to write zeros on every block of a 500GB drive.

  • How to format time for a char field?

    Hello team,
    I'm looking for a command where I can format a time value in a character field in the way how it would look when you would display it in a time field.
    Similar to what you would do with date:
    "WRITE date TO date_formatted MM/DD/YYYY."
    Can anybody help?
    Regards,
    Torsten

    Try this :
    write time to time_formatted using edit mask '__:__:__'.
    Hope this helps,

  • Long formatting time for reports to generate output

    Hi all,
    Would really be glad if someone could help out on the following problem. i've a few reports that takes up more than 20 minutes to get the output. The reason being is, it only takes about 1-2 minutes before the report starts to format the pages. The formatting part would take about 15-20 minutes to generate the output. My question is why is the report taking such a long time to format 1-2 pages?
    thank you.

    Hieee,
    Firsly determine how much time your query is taking to execute run that query (without parameters use hard coded values instead)at sql prompt.If the query it taking 20 Mins thats where your query is you go to Optimize your query.
    Else the problem could be with your frames check them out

  • Format Time Stamp String for excel error

    Hi all,
    I am currently trying to format the time stamp from labview to excel, in an excel recognizable format.  Ive attached a photo of that part of the vi.  The time stamp is formated correctly when it leaves the format time stamp block and after it leaves the build array block, but when it is written to excel file it is formated in what looks like a standard format and excel does not recognize this as a time stamp.
    Any ideas to fix the issue?
    Thanks

    The Example Finder has a few ActiveX examples I think one uses Excel.
    Also if you have the Report Generation Toolkit I think this is what you need
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/38D7104644E0F7A5862578B1001A86C5
    It sets the cell format to be how you want.  The default for a timestamp is "m/d/yyyy h:mm".
    BUT I just think I have an easier solution.  The problem is it correctly detects that this is a time stamp, but the cell format is incorrect.  If we convince it that it is a string it will look right and I assume that's all that matters.  So add a space to the front of your time, so have the format be " %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" (notice the space) and I think it will look the way you want because Excel thinks it is a string.

  • Report in Excel format fails for huge amount of data with headers!!

    Hi All,
    I have developed an oracle report which fetches upto 5000 records.
    The requirements is to fetch upto 100000 records.
    This report fetches data if the headers are removed. If headers are given its not able to fetch the data.
    Have anyone faced this issue??
    Any idea to fetch huge amount of data by oracle report in excel format.
    Thanks & Regards,
    KP.

    Hi Manikant,
    According to your description, the performance is slow when display huge amount of data with more than 3 measures into powerpivot, so you need the hardware requirements for build a PowerPivot to display huge amount of data with more than 3 measures, right?
    PowerPivot benefits from multi-core processors, large memory and storage capacities, and a 64-bit operating system on the client computer.
    Based on my experience, large memory, multiprocessor and even
    solid state drives are benefit PowerPivot performance. Here is a blog about Memory Considerations about PowerPivot for Excel for you reference.

    Besides, you can identify which query was taking the time by using the tracing, please refer to the link below.

  • Shortcut for Paste Special+Match Destination Formatting in MS excel on OSX Mavericks

    Hi,
    I am wondering if someone can help me create a keyboard shortcut for 'paste special -> matching destination formatting' into MS excel 2011. I realise this isn't the most ideal situation (not being a mac app), but it's what I have, and I have a lot of text to copy in, so i'd love to create a workaround if possible.
    I am running Mavericks 10.9.5 on a 2010 Macbook Pro. I've tried various options that I've found on the net for previous versions of OSX, but none have worked for Mavericks, and I can't find any information on this that was posted after 2012.
    I am willing to experiment with a macro, but I have no experience with them so I don't really know what I'm doing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help / advice.

    Hi Barney,
    Thanks for your reply. I should have mentioned that I've tried to create a keyboard shortcut in both excel and through systems preferences, however to no avail. In excel there is a keyboard shortcut in place for 'paste special', however there is no option to move past this into paste special options. I am starting to think perhaps this isn't available because there is no menu command for it directly, rather a popup box appears with paste special options. But it is so tedious to click this every time you want to paste.
    Cheers

  • How do I export v-card formatted files for use with either Numbers or Excel?

    How do I export v-card formatted files for use with either Numbers or Excel?

    Did you open Automator and just look around?
    Actions are listed in the left pane.
    You drag them into the workflow on the right in the order you need to process the items that you want.
    If this is a on-off requirement, just make a Workflow. If you plan to use it often, make it an Application.
    If you want to select the contacts you want to export, use a get Selected action. You'd then select the contacts in Contacts App before running the workflow.
    I'm not on a Mac to take screenshots, so you'll have to look at Automator's help or google for more info.

  • When i paste some copied color text or formatted cells from excel to my mail draft while composing a mail, it is being pasted as plain text. No back groud or text colors are copied to it. Please suggest a possible solution for this issue.

    Colors & Formatted Cells from Excel application can not be copied to my mail composer as it is. Only Plain text is copied.

    Wish I could be king. But you described the problem perfectly and I am still but a pawn. All I can say is that I trashed the mail preferences (com.apple.mail.plist) on my Mac Mini, and now my MacBook seems to work right.
    Sorry. :>) But that is the truth... The MacBook now has actually sometimes displayed pasted text in its actual, different, font and style as I paste it into a partially composed new mail message.
    In other (more rational) words, the problem seems to be tied to pasting only certain types of text. I have not been able yet to pinpoint what. Yes, frustrating indeed. The only work-around has been to re-train my fingers to command-option-shift V, for "paste and match style" (like you, I do not want to always use only plain text). Maybe someone else will eventually weigh in with a real solution. The solution I want is just to be able to consistently see any font variations within my message before I send the email.
    The info about the different ppi scales between Windows and Mac is interesting, although not relevant to this particular problem. It does explain the apparent overall size differences I have seen before.

  • Format Date for time.

    i have a doubt as to how to store the date along with time from my front-end Forms Developer Suite 9i application.
    I am trying to give this kind of statement from SQL-plus:-
    update login_master set last_accessed=to_Char(sysdate,'dd-mon-yy HH:mi:ss')
         where login_ID = :GLOBAL.LOGIN_ID
    but, there is a message which comes like this:-
    ORA-01830 date format picture ends before converting string.
    Also, i want to compare this time stored against time a little later, say after 1 or 2 hrs to get number of minutes.
    How can i do this? I hope, my question is clear. Please help in solving the doubt.

  • Error When Refresh Formatted Data inside Excel Analyzer

    I have build a Excel template and load up this to the BI Publisher Server. When I call this template after the log in works fine. When I refresh the data normal it works also fine, but when I try to refresh formatted Data I get the error "Error: This report does not support HTML as an output format." I will not use html output inside Excel, I will use the original Excel template with refreshed data.

    Hi Tim,
    The Refresh Formatted Data works on MS Excel 2003.
    May need to check if its really supported on MS Office 2002.
    Btw another question, is it possible to create an excel template without using Excel Analyzer?
    Also when I used the generated excel file of Excel Analyzer as template, when the report is generated the data sheet sometimes is not filled with correct data or sometimes there is no data at all, even if the parameters used is the same as the one used in generating the original excel file using Excel Analyzer. This happens most of the time for reports with Concatenated Queries or SQL Queries using "CURSOR" to group a set of data. Note that on initial generation of excel file using Excel Analyzer, correct set of data is displayed. It is only when it is used as template and viewed/exported in Excel format that data is not properly loaded.
    Please advise.
    Thanks!

  • How to Design Report for Excel output?

    Hello Experts...
    I have both versions Crystal Report XI and Crystal 2013 at this time as we are in the process of Upgrading...
    How to design for excel output with no page size limit.
    I have several fields going across (crossing width of paper size 11X17 landscape) and I do not need this report output to be printed at all only for excel output.
    Appreciate your time!
    Thank you,
    Padma

    Hi Padma,
    You would need to increase the Page Size horizontally. Go to File > Page Setup > Check 'No Printer' > Check 'Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer page Size' > Increase the Horizontal value.
