Import excel data for labview control

I'm having some trouble importing excel data into labview. Goals: Input valve flow rates into excel, use those values to control DAQ, have user balance odor with excel defined flow rate, export balance data to excel. Here is what I have so far. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Where in the code are you reading from the Excel Spreadsheet? What VIs are you using? What are the problems are you experiencing (errors, unexpected values, etc.)?
There is a Read From Spreadsheet File.vi in LabVIEW. LabVIEW uses ActiveX controls for .xlsx files, so saving the spreadsheet as a CSV file may be better for this VI. Try it out! See what happens.
Here some more info on reading from spreadsheets:

Importing excel data into oracle tables

Hello gurus,
Importing excel data into oracle tables..
I know this is the most common question on the thread ...First, i searched the forum, i found bunch of threads with loading data using sqlloader, converting excel into .Txt, tab delimited file, .csv file etc....
Finally i was totally confused in terms how to get this done....
Here is wat i have
   - Excel file on local computer.
   - i have laod data into dev environment tables(So no risk involved, but want to try something simple)
   - Oracle version 11.1.0.7
   - Sqlplus and toad (editors)
Here is wat i like to do ....i dont know if its possible
    - Without going to unix server can i do everthing on local system by making use of oracle db and sqlplus or toad
   SQLLOADER might be one option...but i dont want to go the unix server for placing files and logs and stuff.
Wat will be best and simplest option to do?? and wat format will best to convert from excel into csv, or txt or tab delimited etc.....
If you suggest sqlloader, any code example will be greatly appriciated.
Thank you so much!!!

Imran,
This is increadible option in toad!!! It works absolutely sweet!! I have toad 9.7 version. IT works great. Thank you so much!!You are welcome :)
Well i have further discussion on this ....this option is great if you doing in staging or development area. What if your doing in prod?? If you automating the sqlloader then how do u do it?? I think we still need to stick with traditional approach of laoding data by making use of SQLLoader right ?? If m wrong please correct me.well, in our case, we do have access to a custom schema in prod where we create the staging table and load the data from datafiles.
try this:
load data
infile 'C:\dest.csv'
into table dest_table
fields terminated by "~" optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(name,
owner_nm,
description_column,
UPDT_DT DATE 'MM/DD/YYYY')
{code}
you can get more info about sql loader and your error here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch05.htm
http://www.allinterview.com/showanswers/53766.html
And one more quick question ...i found an example of control file , in that i see .dat format file. Is it a data file ?? can i try that option ?? But in excel i didnt see to convert the .dat format file.
Any thoughts ???
It is same as a delimiter text file.
steps to create a .dat file (from a excel file):
1. Insert a column between two columns and populate it with the delimiter (in our case, it is ~)
2. Save the file as unicode text.
3. Open the file in text editor and remove all the tabs (find an replace with blank)
4. Save the file as "DEST.dat". Select encoding as UTF-8 while saving.
5. Your .dat file is ready.

Imran

Import excel data from OWB10.2

I wanted to import excel data into OWB 10gr2. So i have followed the steps in the attached link. But i cannot perform the operations from step 6 in OWB 10rR2.
In OWB10.2 how could i create a new database link. Inorder to create a new module below ODBC i have to give the location. I cannot create the location.
Step 6: Create an ODBC Source Module and a Database Link
Use the following steps to create an ODBC source module and database link:
1. From the Warehouse Builder console, create an ODBC source module. On the
navigation tree, ODBC modules are listed under the Others node of the Databases
node.
2. On the Connection Information page, click New Database Link to create a new
database link that reads data using the data source created. Figure 3–3 shows the
entries used on the New Database Link dialog.
Note: Ensure that the initialization parameter GLOBAL_NAMES is set
to FALSE in the database's initialization parameter file. FALSE is the
default setting for this parameter.
Step 6: Create an ODBC Source Module and a Database Link
3-4 Oracle Warehouse Builder Case Book
Figure 3–3 New Database Link Dialog
Notice that the Oracle Service Name field uses the Oracle system identifier
specified for the agent.
3. Ensure that the Use for Heterogeneous Services option is selected.
Because you are not accessing an Oracle database, you can enter any value for
username and password.
4. Create and test this database link. Close the New Database Link dialog.
5. Leave the Schema name <unspecified>. Click the Change Schema button and
select <unspecified>. The Connection Information page now looks as shown in
Figure 3–4.
Step 8: Create a Mapping to Load Data Into the Target Table
How Do I Load Data Stored in a Microsoft Excel File? 3-5
Figure 3–4 Connection Information Page
6. Create a new deployment location for the module or specify an existing location.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/pdf/Cases/case3.pdf
But i cannot create in OWB10.2.
Can any body suggest me the process.

Gillies,
I am not able to create a new location for ODBC in connection explorer.
Which option should i consider. Should i consider database link or host:port:service or sql*net connection. suppose If i take database link option what is the description i have to enter in database link box. Should i create a database link manually from sql*plus.

Inability to import Excel data with xlsx or xlsm extensions

Inability to import Excel data with xlsx or xlsm using Microsoft Project Standard V14 Import Wizard.
Get error message"Project cannot recognize this file format. Do you want to open this file in text only?"   when using xlsm.
Nothing no wizard or data when when trying xlsx.
Windows XP/Office 2007. SP1 for MSP2010 installed.
Thank you in advance.   Pete

Pete H --
No, it is not possible to import Excel files with either the xlsx or the the xlsm file extension. This is simply a limitation of the Import/Export Wizard. Sorry. Hope this helps.

How can I set Excel Data In LabVIEW

Hi,
There is an example about how to use LabVIEW and ActiveX to programmatically read in Excel data. It uses Range and then by reading Value2 it is possible to read excel values in that range in a specific sheet.
http://www.ni.com/example/28409/en/
Now I would like to write data ( 2D string ) to specific excel sheet. Could you please let me know if there is a way to modify this code to use it for writing to Excel instead of reading
I actually would like to write 2D data to specific sheet of an Excel form. The Read_Excel_Values.llb works perfect for opening an Excel file, specify a sheet and then read the data but I would like to write instead of read.
Thanks

Hi Tintin,
Please find the attached VI where i tried to write a 2d array using activeX functions to an excel sheet.

Retaining changes and format of imported excel data.. please help.

Is there some kind of secret that Im mising out on that will allow me to make changes to the data in the excel cell range in which I import to an InDesign document?
It was working fine, until I had to add a line of data to the import field range, and now it asks me every time I open the InDesign file to apply changes.. And now when I update said imported data, it comes up as little red dots, and I have to change all of the cell parameters to get the text to show.
Obviously this is very annoying, and Im hoping there is an easy solution. Im thinking it must involve re-linking the data in the InDesign file, and I must be doing something wrong not to be able to get it to keep the changes I've made and the format it is in so that I do not have to the "red dot" fix every day.
Hopefully Ive explained this well enough.. Im dying for some help :)
Thanks in advance
J

Im not sure I want it to not keep the link..
I'll explain what Im using InDesign for, maybe it will help..
I use it to update daily information (numbers/data) for a publication. I update and save all of the info in the Excel files that contain the data, and then I use InDesign to place all of the data together in a file (which I then turn into a PDF).
All of the other data that Im pulling into the InDesign file from the same excel file do not go all screwy and give me red dots, only the one box of info that Ive had to add a line of data to.. and like I say, now it updates and pulls into InDesign as different font size and red dots.
If I turn of that link option like you say, will my daily info still update and pull into the InDesign file?
Again, thanks for your help.

How do i import excel data base into pdf form drop down field

Hi,
I have a table of about 2500 rows and three columns that i would like to import into a drop down window on a PDF form to be self populated when item selected rather than entering the data. How can this be done?
Thanks!
Richard

Hi,
I did not know only two entries for each option item is it. I have manually entered data in the drop down an list boxes. With 2500 lines of data I was hoping there was an easier way other than manually entering the data.
I have no knowledge of Java Scripting.....
I was just wondering if there was a way from an Excel spreadsheet to import that data into a PDF form to be selectable to populate PDF fields in a form. It doesn't sound like it.
Thanks......

Maintain Validity Date for Mitigation Control Assignment to Users Virsa 5.2

We have over 1,000 SoD's all mitigated. The val;idity date for these mitigation controls needs to be updated. Does anyone know a way to perform a range of updates so it is not necessary to update each user assigned to a Mitigation Control.

The only way to do that currently would be to download the table information, edit in Excel and re-upload the table.
Not for the faint of heart, but doable.

Import a Date for Sorting

I had a large database of my songs on MS Access which included the following info for each song: Title(Name), Artist and Date. The Date was the mm/dd/yy which the song first entered the Top 40 according to Billboard (from one of their reference books).
I have imported all my music into iTunes and while I am satisfied with the automatic entry of Name & Artist during the rip, I would like to find a way to copy or enter the Top 40 Date for each song. I'd like to create playlists sorted by the Top 40 Date.
Is it possible to add this info - hopefully in a scripted way?
The only solution I can see is to enter a date in "yyyy-mm-dd" format into an unoccupied field such as "Sort Show" which is found under the SORTING Tab when you do a "Get Info" (ctrl-I) on a song. This requires entering the date for each song manually which in my case is prohibitive since I have over 2000 songs.
Are there any scripts, apps or suggestions that simplify the process? Any easy way to import the data?

Hi,
1) getting date from Excel:
What format does the date have?
Are you able to convert the value to the Date Type ?
2) putting into the SBO form:
Are you filling it into the DataSource, or just typing it as a String into the EditText?
These are the basic questions, you have to ask yourself.
1)
For example: there is a difference when accessing the Excell Cells(x,y).Value and the Cells(x,y).Text
.Value is usually in Date_Variable format, but the Text is formated to for example MM-DD-YYYY format.
Perhaps you're not able to convert the MM-DD-YYYY into the date variable, thus you will have to change the "MM-DD-YYYY" into the "DD.MM.YYYY" format so you can put it somewhere.
2)
Same problem is with the insertion of date into the SBO, when filling the EditText.String, you will have to convert it into the date, according to the SBO settings ... for example: "MM.DD.YYYY"
There is also the SBObob object, which has the "Format_StringToDate" method, which will convert the string, into the format for DataSource...

Importing excel data into ZAM 7.5 using SQL2005

Hi,
I am running ZAM 7.5 and have about 6500 workstation records in inventory. I have an excel spreadsheet that has been maintained for several years with some demographic info in it such as Site, Department, Building, etc for about 4000 of those workstations. I would like to get that information into the ZAM SQL2005 database. Can I import the data into the SQL database directly or is there a tool to do it? There are no purchase records tied to this data so using the purchase record import does not seem like an option. Any advice?
Thanks,
Jay

Help with Importing Excel Data into Formatted Tables

This is my first post, here, so please be gentle!
I am a relatively new user of InDesign CS4, and I am creating a 70-pg manufacturer's price book. A very large portion of each page is going to be size and price information imported from a large Excel spreadsheet.
I have created the table format that I'd like to use for each page, but the trouble comes when I import the Excel data into that table. For some reason, when I import, it all dumps into one cell. Would it be best to import as an unformatted table, and then format the table each time, or is there a way to simply import the data into my pre-formatted table? I've seen how the former is done, but the latter seems much easier (...although that could be my inexperience talking).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Laura (V1500)

Thank you both so much for your time! This is exactly what I needed.
Cheers

How can i pass '13-06-13 05:54:33' to database table.
if i put condition
vcInsert:=vcInsert||','||''''||TO_CHAR('i_ldata(i).V3','DD-MON-RR HH12:MI:SS')||''''
i get the error
to_char many declaration..
if i remove this i got error
ORA-01843: no a valid month
Since i am dynamically importing the excel data, every time the position of the date fild is going to change. For static its ok that i know that V3 is going to be a date.
But for dynamic date may be at position V22 or at any place.
please suggest something.

Thanks for the reply. Yes i understand what exactly you are saying.
That's why i have created a test table. All fields in the table are of varchar2 type and no constraints were given to the table and import the data to test table.
Once the data is imported to test table, then i am inserting data to my original table i.e CRM_DELT_IMPORT. I have written the following code for that.
But when i press the button i got the error
FRM-40735:WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-00001
my CRM_DELT_IMPORT have composit key on ("ROUTE_ID", "DELDATE", "DELSNO", "PROFILE_ID")
I also inserted few records with normal insert on SQL prompt , records gets inserted in to the table.
But when i use the form for insert and click on button of insert i get the error.
I also check that records gets imported in test table but not get inserted into CRM_DELT_IMPORT table (with the help of form. )
(can i use IGNORE_ROW_ON_DUPKEY_INDEX here? and how?)
Please help me in this problem.
Thanks again.

Cannot import Excel dates

I am using Oracle SQL Developer v1.2.1 and I'm trying to import an Excel file that contains date values formatted as 21-Sep-2007 11:29:45. During the import process, Data Preview shows that the date columns have values such as 39282.8. I have tried setting the Format on the Data Types tab and nothing is working. When I try import the file the following error messages are being displayed "Error at line 1:insert into EMMA_DB_PUSH_REPORT (MNTC_EVENT_ID,TKT_NBR,SCHED_COND_CD,NOTIFY_INDCR_CD,EVENT_DESC,OPEN_DT,START_DT,STOP_DT,SUBMIT_DT) VALUES(11848740186780000000000,3890.1,'SCHED','Y','APPROVED A SECOND TIME TO RE-GENERATE E-MAIL NOTIFICATION TO TSA SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE',TO_DATE('39282.8','DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),TO_DATE('39347.6','DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),TO_DATE('39348','DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),TO_DATE('39346.4789930556','DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'))...SQL Error:ORA-01847: day of month must be between 1 and last day of month". Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Barry - The only way that I could import a date is if it was formatted as MM/DD/YYYY in Excel.

Importing Excel data

I'm trying to import a bunch of names, phone numbers, etc. into an InDesign file from an Excel file. When I import the data, it comes in as a table. How do I get it to come in as tab-deliniated text? i.e., basically, I want the name in the first column, the phone number in the second column... etc. But I don't want that information in actual cells. Just in text columns. Thanks!

PS I'm using InDesign CC on an iMac.

Thanks so much! I tried converting the table to text, but that option was not available to me in Indesign. I see it... but it's grayed out. So I tried saving the Excel file as tab deliminated text. This works, but it imports tons of extra tabs. So I have to go in and delete thousands of tabs. Is there a way to just save the data as text (as opposed to the entire spreadsheet... including the blank cells...which is what I think it's doing)?
