Generate Excel with Graphs

Hi
I need to generate an Excel spreadsheet with data extract from Oracle (no problems) and some predefined graphs. Any suggestion about how can I automatically include graphs in the new spreadsheet?
The content of Excel, including the graphs, depends on some user choices made during runtime.
Our environment is:
Oracle 9.2
WebSphere
Java 1.4.2
Xks,
Miguel

Hello Miguel,
how are you generating the Excel File?
Have a look at this:
http://poi.apache.org/index.html
e.g.
http://poi.apache.org/hssf/limitations.html
With the Apache POI you cannot create charts directly, but if you have a template Excel sheet you can modify an existing chart.
With best regards

Generating excel with more than one tab

Hi,
I would like to ask if anyone of you know how to generate excel file from Oracle Reports with more than one tab? Is it possible? If yes, can you provide me some references on how to do it. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Do this:
1. Create an Excel file, put some dummy data in 2 or more worksheets. Save as HTM. This will create one main HTM file, and some sub-files under a folder. One HTM sub-file will be created per worksheet. In addition, one XML sub-file (called filelist.xml) and some other sub-files will be created. (you have already done this)
2. Open one of the HTM sub-files in reports builder, and follow the steps shown in the Excel Demo on OTN to insert data in this file at appropriate place, and save as JSP.
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/excel/index.html
3. You can repeat this step for all worksheets. So finally you will get one JSP file per worksheet.
5. Now open the main file in reports builder, and add the Excel contentType element at the top
     <%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=windows-1252" %>
6. In this file, search for the following tag
     <x:WorksheetSource HRef="./filename_files/sheet001.htm"/>
Note that instead of filename_files you will have your own file name
Change this tag as following:
     <x:WorksheetSource HRef="./filename_files/sheet001.jsp?userid=scott/tiger@myDb"/>
Note that in userid, you must provide your own DB connect string
7. Additionally, change ALL references to sheet001.htm in this file to sheet001.jsp
Do steps 6 and 7 for sheet002.htm, sheet003.htm, and so on (if needed).
8. Open filelist.xml (you will find this file inside the folder that contains sub-files). Here, too, change all references to JSP instead of HTM
9. Now place the main JSP file as well as the folder containing all sub-files inside your J2EE deployment folder. Run the main JSP file. This will run the associated JSP files (the worksheets).
This will do the trick.
If you are worried about placing the USERID information inside your JSP code, then you can use CGICMD.DAT file, and place the userid there.

Hi Alan J Stewart,
This issue may occur due to the column name in your scenario.
Would you please change the column name: raised by column to “raised_by”, and export the list with this column, check whether the issue persists.
I have seen similar issue that caused by the column name.
Thanks,
Qiao

Using Excel with Visual C++ 6.0 (need a graph control that behaves as much like the one in CVI as possible)

I hate to beat this to death but I was unable to find a
clear answer to this question. Does NI provide Excel control from within
Visual C++ 6.0?
I read that NI supports the ANSI-C library only for Visual C++ 6.0 users:
Thread : "Re: Benifits of using measurment
studio for VC++ 6.0?"
NI REP : drohacek
Quote : "we made the decision to support Visual
C++ 6.0 users only through the ANSI-C interface and not through the Measurement
Studio MFC-based class libraries."
If there is a suggested way of controlling Excel from within Measurement Studio
for Visual C++ 6.0 then I’d love to know it.
If not, can a plain statement be made basically stating that if you want
to control Excel you can’t use a Visual C++ 6.0 environment even with Measurement
Studio support?
With .NET of course you can just decide to have Excel support added during
project creation. CVI can act as an ActiveX server and easily control
Excel just by building off the examples shipped with CVI. I see that
there is support, using the Measurement Studio for Visual C++ 6.0 Project Wizard,
for taking existing CVI projects and converting them to Visual C++ 6.0 projects
or for calling CVI libraries from a .dll from within Visual C++ 6.0. I suppose I could do the work
in CVI and then convert the project but I'm so deeply tied into all my MFC calls that I don't see
how I can cleanly include the CVI libraries into my existing VC++ 6.0 projects.
What I'm really after here is a visual graph control like the one in CVI that I
can use from Visual C++ 6.0. I purchased a 3rd party graph control for use
in VC++ 6.0 that works well but isn't really visual. I mean you can't
enter any values in it until you run the program and fill it out programmatically.
Then you can see which columns are two narrow, quit the program, adjust the
column width of your now empty control, and repeat, until you get the thing
looking the way you want. If I could call into Excel from within Visual
C++ 6.0 the way I do from within .NET
then I could use Excel to hold the table and just read in the values into my table
control at run time. Basically I'd use Excel as a visual development tool
for all my tables.
I do all my coding from within CVI and Measurement Studio for Visual C++
6.0. I'd use CVI for everything if I didn't depend so heavily on certain
outside controlled C++ .dll's. Could you please suggest then what I can
do to get Excel support for Visual C++ 6.0?
Last question :
Is there any plan to ever have a NI table control like the CVI table control for
use in Visual Studio? One that you can
completely set up before you do any compiling?
I imagine that the way Microsoft sets up their environment makes this idea impossible. Otherwise someone would
have come up with a truly “visual” table control before now.
Thanks,

Hello Grant
You can most certainly use Excel with VC++ 6.0. Measurement Studio won't provided you with any classes to talk to Excel in VC++ 6.0. This is because Excel allows control via Automation and you can use its automation API to do anything you need with Excel. This is what CVI uses as well.
You can see this MSDN article on how to set this up. This mentions VC.NET, but it should work the same way.
Here is one that talks about VC 6.0 and Excel.
Here is a code project article about this.
Even with .NET, you have to do thru the Excel Automation support. Excel started shipping with Primary Interop Assemblies (PIA) which are .NET wrappers about the Excel Automation object model. C++ Automation is definetely not as nice as .NET, BTW
See this document for more information about the Excel object model.
I would not recommend using the CVI Excel libraries if all you want to use them for is Excel automation. You will end up creating un-necessary dependencies and go through extra layers that way. You can make calls straight to Excel from VC++ without requiring CVI.
One quick observation about your excel approach. If you decide to use Excel as your table, you might be requiring everyone who uses your application to have Excel installed on their machines. Just wanted to make sure this was acceptable to you.
Have you looked at the Datagrid Activex control, which is one of the common controls that ships with Visual Studio? You can add it to Visual Studio by right-clicking and picking it from the list of installed activex control. If you have not already, you should check it out.
Microsoft has made significant improvements in the number of controls they provide with .NET. They have a Datagrid control that seems to be what you need.
Measurement Studio did add some high level classes for Excel and Word Automation that simplify some common tasks, but these exists for VS 2003 C++ and VS 2005 C++, not for VC 6.0. Underneath, we end up using the same Excel automation classes, so you can easily setup something similar for VC 6.0. Plus you can find alot of references online on how to use the Excel Automation object model with C++.
We currently have no plans in Measurement Studio to create a table control unfortunately. I am assuming when you said graph, you actually meant table, since Measurement Studio already provides a ActiveX graph controls for VC++ 6.0 that is very similar to the CVI graph.
On a side note, VC++ 6.0 is really really old. Have you considered upgrading?
To summarize
- Yes, you can use Excel with Vc++ 6.0 without mstudio.
- Try using the Datagrid Activex control if you just need a table.
- Measurement Studio provides high-level excel and word classes for VC++ 6.0
- Measurement Studio provides a graph control for VC++ 6.0 which is very similar to the CVI graph.
- Measuremnt Studio does not have a table control.
- VC++ 6.0 is really really old. Have you considered upgrading?

Report generation toolkit with excel 97 Graphing issue

I am trying to set-up mu data output to use the report generation Vis. However I am running into a problem when trying to update 2 graphs on the same sheet in Excel.
My set-up is:
Windows XP
Office 97
LabVIEW 7.1.1 with the Office toolkit installed
I noticed that I can write to the first Graph and update it without issues, but once I try to update the second I get error -41105 stating that MSGraph is not installed.
I did notice that if I set a break point between the Excel Quit Graph.vi and Excel Update Graph.vi if I click the mouse within excel in removes the highlight border from the first graph, the I continue and it works fine. For some reason LabVIEW is not releasing that Graph to be able to select another.
I tried to write data to a cell after quiting the graph and then selecting the second graph but that is not working either although it does work manually.
Next I may try a Macro but I would rather not have to do that.
Any suggestions?

Well after some debugging I found it. Apparently for Excel 97 only there is a problem that when you qiut MSGraph it may not save properly so the VI had the Quit Property removed.
I have added it into my code and it seems to work and will see how well it does and if I run into any problems.

Revised "Generate Excel Report" Example

I recently answered a question from a Forum user about an error encountered when trying to generate an Excel spreadsheet with the Report Generation Toolkit. I thought that the example code he was using was "unusual" and overly complex, and just discovered that it was, in fact, the LabVIEW 2013 "Generate Report From Template (Excel)" Example.
In the spirit of trying to demonstrate how nice the new(er) "Easy Excel" functions are, I rewrote this Example, and have attached it here. While doing so, I discovered (and have reported to NI) a "bug/feature" of the Excel Insert Graph function. One of its parameters allows you to position the graph by specifying the Left and Top edges (Left would be the Excel Column, Top would be the Excel Row). The only problem is that the parameters are reversed -- to put the graph on Row 1, Column G, you specify (0, 6), not (6, 0). Oops ...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here is a Snippet, in LabVIEW 2012, of the Excel Demo (the Revised Generate Excel Report Example). If you have LabVIEW 2012 or more recent, you should be able to drag this into a blank Block Diagram and have the VI "magically" created. If you have an earlier version of LabVIEW, you can at least see a picture of all the VIs and wiring here, and can open LabVIEW and "build it yourself". There are no Case statements, so nothing is hidden from view. In case the image is too small, I also attached the PNG file, which you should be able to open with an Image Viewer and potentially print out for yourself.

Excel Insert graph set position

Hello,
I want to generate an excel report with a graph.
I use the VI "Excel Insert Graph.vi" to set the parameters for position and size, but in the report the graph use only the size parameter. I can't set the position of the graph in y report. See attachment.
Does anybody have a solution or an idea?
Attachments:
Excel_report.zip ‏41 KB

No one answered this question but 4 years later I ran into the same problem. So here is why you cant set the position with the position/size input of the Excel Insert Graph.vi:
You connected the string "A4" to the "name ("")" input of the insert graph vi. (like on the Bar Graph(Excel). vi example). If you do that, then the graph start position will be column A, row 4, no matter what you write in the position/size input.
Hope this answer can help oher people who use the labview example to base their excel vi on.

Excel Insert Graph (Need Help!)

Hi there!
I am new to LabView, and trying to use the Excel Insert Graph vi. I am not sure what it means by "report in", I have tried to convert my file path for my Excel report into a string, but it won't take it, and the help says "links a report to the vi's used to control report appearance, data, and printing." Do I have to use another vi to open the Excel file first? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Ke
Message Edited by Ke Sun on 10-19-2006 04:35 PM

Take a look at the example VIs in your [LabVIEW]\examples\office folder. There are several examples that deal with Excel and Graphs in MSGraph Examples.llb. You must use the "New Report.vi" to generate a new report, which gives you the reference you can then use with the Excel Insert Graph.vi. The examples should point you in the right direction.
Good luck,

Using LabVIEW to Generate an XY Graph of Multiple, Indexed Plots?

Hello,
I have written a LabVIEW Program (using 8.2.1) to characterize FETs using GPIB instruments. At it's most basic level, the program sets a voltage across the Gate-Source terminals of the FET, sets a voltage across the Drain-Source terminals of the FET, reads this second voltage, and then reads the Drain-Source current. The Drain-Source voltage is then increased, the current read, and so on. In this manner, the Drain-Source voltage is swept from 0V to some defined maximum (dependent on the FET being tested) and an array of data (I_{DS} vs. V_{DS}) is generated. The Drain-Source is then reset to 0, the Gate-Source voltage is increased, and the entire process is repeated.
My problem is this: I need to generate a single Graph (I think it should be XY, but not entirely certain), that plots all of these IV curves (each curve for each Gate-Source voltage) and indicates the Gate-Source voltage for each curve (in an indexed legend of some sort). Does anyone have any suggestions about how I should do this? My program is entirely based on For Loops and Sequence Structures. If you need a screen shot or want me to upload the program, please let me know. Fair warning, though: I am a LabVIEW novice so while the program functions correctly, it is not the prettiest in the world.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Michael
P.S. I searched the forums and didn't find this question already posted. If, however, it was and I just missed it, could someone direct me to it? Thanks.

Vincent, Jon, and Andrew:
I still need some help. I used the 3524.vi Example for the XY Graph: x-array, y-array definition to generate the kind of multiple plot xy graph that I needed. My problem now is I would like to re-index the plots so that they are labeled according to the Gate-Source voltage I am applying. Each curve has its own, distinct Gate-Source voltage and I would like to label each curve with its Gate-Source voltage. Currently, the plots are labeled in the legend: Plot 0, Plot 1, Plot 2, ... Plot n.
How should I go about doing this (is there even a way to do this)?
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Michael
P.S. I have attached a copy of my program to this message. As I said, it isn't pretty, but it works so far. Hopefully this will help you in forming your suggestions.
