How to write to Excel TextBox?

I am using LV 8.2 (and the report generation toolkit). I am trying to write to an existing Excel textbox.
The closest I can get is Excel._Worksheet.Shapes.Item(0) to get the Shape reference for the textbox, but I cannot seem to figure out how to put text in it.
Any suggested method will be tried, I'm not prideful

Figured it out, see picture.
If your text is greater than 255 characters, you will have to split it and set the Start input on the TextFrame property node to the correct offset to append to what is already there. Otherwise it does not put the text in the textbox, but does NOT return any error.

How to write to Excel values from following measurements to neighbour cells?

Hi,
I build app for some measurements, "end" of this app:
As you see I have few arrays (with 12 rows). I want to eksport 2 arrays to Excel. In upper case results looks like this:
And everything is OK, this I want, but... When I run app next time I want to save this next results in columns C and D in the same file. Next app run - columns E and F, etc. How can I do this?

Express VIs (such as Write to Measurement Files) are basically "shortcuts" designed to provide a quick fix, but rarely allow much flexibility, such as allowing you to determine where to put your data on subsequent writes.
What you are trying to do can be done with the Report Generation Toolkit, which includes components that directly link to Excel (I'm not sure if Write to Measurement File actually uses Excel or simply writes data in an Excel-compatible format).
However, there's a minor complication. The task you have stated is to write columns, with subsequent columns going to the right of existing columns. There's a function in the Excel-specific sub-Palette to find the last row, which you can use to write rows, with subsequent rows going below the last row. It's not too difficult to use the functions in the Report Generation Toolkit to basically do what you want, but it isn't exactly straight-forward. It would be a lot easier if you could write your data in rows ...

Write to excel file (into AL11 directory)

Hi,
I am able to loop an internal table and write to csv file in AL11 directory.
But how to write to excel file instead of csv file. And how to format the excel file (for example, column B should be format to numeric and column E should format to date format), and are we able to put like red color on column C for example?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You need to add the tab inbetween all the fields of internal table and upload to application server using
OPEN DATASET
TRANSFER
CLOSE DATASET.
to add the tab inbetween the fields..you can use this code....
concatenete itb-field1 itab-field2......... into string seperated by CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
one exception whicle uploading data to the Application server you need to convert dec or currency field to char type otherwise it will give you short dump.

How do I write an excel file and check what the next empty column would be to put the data in?

I have somehow managed to write the portion of labview that prompts the user for a name. It checks a file to see if they are a new user or not and then assigns a number if they are. The program then acquires data that is to be put into a spreadsheet. Each subject will have ten trials which will have three columns. How do I get the information into the columns and then check each time to see which column it should go into (i.e. the next empty column for that subject). I have attached what I have thus far. I wrote this a long time ago and haven't touched it for some time so everything is a blur.

To perform those operations in excel you will use ActiveX. I will attach some examples of using Excel in LabVIEW and you can use these to do exactly what you want.
These three examples show how to manipulate properties, write to excel and read from excel. Let me know if there is more I can do.

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.

Hi Mon,
We also could use OleDbConnection to insert data into excel.
using System.Data.OleDb;
using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop;
//in the method section use as :
string datevariable = "02/02/2010";
string namevariable = "Shyam";
string strConnectionString ="";
string cmd;
string filepath = ""C:\\sample.xls";
strConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="+filePath+@";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;""" ;
OleDbConnection conn =new OleDbConnection (strConnectionString);
try
conn.Open();
catch(Exception e)
Console.WriteLine(e);
try
// Insert into Sheetname
cmd = "Insert into [Sheet1$] ( [Date], [Name]) values ('" +datevariable+ "','" +namevariable+ "');
//Similarly you can update also
OleDbCommand cmdUpd=new OleDbCommand(cmd);
cmdUpd.Connection = conn;
cmdUpd.ExecuteNonQuery();
conn.Close();
catch(Exception e)
Console.WriteLine(e);

Powershell use Connection String to query Database and write to Excel

Right now I have a powershell script that uses ODBC to query SQL Server 2008 / 2012 database and write to EXCEL
$excel = New-Object -Com Excel.Application
$excel.Visible = $True
$wb = $Excel.Workbooks.Add()
$ws = $wb.Worksheets.Item(1)
$ws.name = "GUP Download Activity"
$qt = $ws.QueryTables.Add("ODBC;DSN=$DSN;UID=$username;PWD=$password", $ws.Range("A1"), $SQL_Statement)
if ($qt.Refresh()){
$ws.Activate()
$ws.Select()
$excel.Rows.Item(1).HorizontalAlignment = $xlCenter
$excel.Rows.Item(1).VerticalAlignment = $xlTop
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Name = "Calibri"
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Size = 11
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Bold = $true
$filename = "D:\Script\Reports\Status_$a.xlsx"
if (test-path $filename ) { rm $filename }
$wb.SaveAs($filename, $xlOpenXMLWorkbook) #save as an XML Workbook (xslx)
$wb.Saved = $True #flag it as being saved
$wb.Close() #close the document
$Excel.Quit() #and the instance of Excel
$wb = $Null #set all variables that point to Excel objects to null
$ws = $Null #makes sure Excel deflates
$Excel=$Null #let the air out
I would like to use connection string to query the database and write results to EXCEL, i.e.
$SQL_Statement = "SELECT ..."
$conn = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$conn.ConnectionString = "Server=10.10.10.10;Initial Catalog=mydatabase;User Id=$username;Password=$password;"
$conn.Open()
$cmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand($SQL_Statement,$conn)
do{
try{
$rdr = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
while ($rdr.read()){
$sql_output += ,@($rdr.GetValue(0), $rdr.GetValue(1))
$transactionComplete = $true
catch{
$transactionComplete = $false
}until ($transactionComplete)
$conn.Close()
How would I read the columns and data for $sql_output into an EXCEL worksheet. Where do I find these tutorials?

Hi Q.P.Waverly,
If you mean to export the data in $sql_output to excel document, please try to format the output with psobject:
$sql_output=@()
do{
try{
$rdr = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
while ($rdr.read()){
$sql_output+=New-Object PSObject -Property @{data1 = $rdr.GetValue(0);data2 =$rdr.GetValue(1)}
$transactionComplete = $true
catch{
$transactionComplete = $false
}until ($transactionComplete)
$conn.Close()
Then please try to use the cmdlet "Export-Csv" to export the data to excel like:
$sql_output | Export-Csv d:\data.csv
Or you can export to worksheet like:
$excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$excel.Visible = $true
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
$sheet = $workbook.ActiveSheet
$counter = 0
$sql_output | ForEach-Object {
$counter++
$sheet.cells.Item($counter,1) = $_.data1$sheet.cells.Item($counter,2) = $_.data2}

How can I change excel column header using Labile.

Dear Experts,
                      How can i change excel column header using LabVIEW.
Thanks for any and all help!
M.S.Sivaraj.

As I said in my previous post, column headers in Excel are merely row 1 cells. May be I missing something here, so please be more explicit with your question.
I guess you are using the Excel Report tools, and you want to modify an existing sheet. From my limited experience with the Excel Report tools, it is not possible to open an existing woorkbook (except as template...), so the answer to your question should be "Forget it"...
The work around is to use the example I pointed for you before, and either to write the whole new colum headers as a string array, starting in A1, or to write a single string to a given cell in row 1.
Hope this helps

How to open a Excel file and display on the custom screen

Guys, I am new to screen programming. In my first screen (SCREEN #9000) I want to put a field, where I must be able to select a file from my desktop and when I click the DISPLAY button, it should suck all the data from the spread sheet in to an internal table, and should display the next screen (SCREEN #9001), displaying the data from the internal table along with a button called LOAD. Now when I click the LOAD button after reviewing the data, it must load the data to my custom table in R/3. I know how to load an Excel spreadsheet to R/3 without the custom screens. But my requirement now is to do from custom screens like I mentioned above. Any ideas how to do this? Thanks.
Dan

Hi Dan,
In my first screen (SCREEN #9000) I want to put a field, where I must be able to select a file from my desktop and when I click the DISPLAY button, it should suck all the data from the spread sheet in to an internal table, and should display the next screen (SCREEN #9001)
For this create a MPP program and create a Push button. Write the code for this to open a file like use f4_filename.From here you are able to select a file.
+ displaying the data from the internal table along with a button called LOAD. Now when I click the LOAD button after reviewing the data, it must load the data to my custom table in R/3.+
With the above you are able to open a file and now you have to load that data into internal table. Select the file from the desktop.
Totally you have to create 1) Screen 2) Push button( Open File) 3) Load data ( From file) .
[Create Push Buttons|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/9f/dba9a635c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm]
Check this if there is any please post.

hi,

el file use java.i can use .csv input the date to
excel.but i want to know how to format it.
thanks
JoveIf I understand your question correctly you need to know the format of a .csv file for use in an Excel spreadsheet. A .csv file is a comma-delimited file so all that you need to do is write your data elements to the file with commas in between them. Having done something similar in the past, let me warn you that when Excel is reading your file, it uses some characters other than commas as field delimiters. for example, / : and ; are treated as commas. To defeat this, you will need to surround fields containing those characters in double quotes.
Hope that helps
