Microsoft office report package

Hi Guys,
Im new to LabeVIEW but a colleague and I are working on an automated monitoring project with our company.
We have the Microsoft office report package however I am looking for a few simple examples or tutorials explaining their use.
I seen that the below 2 examples were available at one point but now seem to be dead.
labview\examples\office\Excel Reports.llb\Generate Report From Template (Excel).vi
labview\examples\office\Word Reports.llb\Generate Report From Template (Word).vi
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Seamus

Hi Seamus,
Welcome to the National Instruments discussion forums!
I have found a number of resources which may be of use to you as a starting point:
Creating a Report in Microsoft Excel Using the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit: Introduction http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3178/en
Creating Professional Reports with the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3201/en
LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office http://sine.ni.com/psp/app/doc/p/id/psp-358/lang/en (See example code section)
With regards to the two examples you specify, I have attached a ZIP file containing the entire 'office' folder.
Please let me know if you require these for older LabVIEW versions etc.

How to restrict "insert new data source" in Analysis, edition for Microsoft Office report

Hi Experts,
There is a requirement in my current project: when an end user access a Analysis, edition for Office Report from BI platform, they can view and refresh the report. But users should not be able to add new data source in that Analysis Report. As per my understanding, that means "insert data source" button should remain disable for the user.
I have check all available access levels from CMC, but cannot find any. It will be great if you let know correct access level in CMC for the same.
Any comments/recommendation will be appreciated.
I am using BOXI4.1 SP3 version with Microsoft Office 2013.
Thanks in advance.

The answer from our account manager is that there is only one license model for AO - which means every user is able to refresh, navigate, use planning functions and add source data (whith the standard license). Adding a DS is not really more then navigation because you can build a Query with all key figures and characteristics of a cube which gives you flexibility. That makes sense because there are no authority checks installed from SAP to avoid this (maybe this is different in combination with HANA and workspaces) .
Futhermore SAP has no possibility to measure how many users are doing which functions instead of recording every action of every user. But where should they do it? You could use it with BO or with Netweaver or in mixed Environments. The BO license check is done on BO platform and there you have no possibility to create new users which you need for connection (I'm not sure how this is monitored in a pure BW Environment without BO).
Furterhmore another possibility to add new data is using vba. You don't really need the buttons from the menu.

Microsoft office and Outlook not responding at launch

Hello.
I have a brand new macbook pro running OS X version 10.8.2 and have just downloaded the Microsoft office 2011 package including Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Outlook and Lync.
Microsoft Word crashes at launch every time I try to load it. It simply freezes at the welcome screen and appears to be loading indefinately.
Instead of a welcome screen, the top bar of microsoft outlook loads and then freezes in a similar fashion.
Excel, powerpoint and Lync seem to work fine.
One other thing, the microsoft programs fail to load if another microsoft program is already running - is this normal behavior?!
Help appreciated!
Cheers.
Joe.

You should try asking Office for Mac questions in the Office for Mac forums where the Office for Mac gurus hang out. They may be able to provide a quicker answer. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac?auth=1

Install of Report Generation Toolkit without Microsoft Office previously installed.

After installing "LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office Version 1.1.3" on a computer without Microsoft Office I noticed that the Report Generation VI palette does not include the "Excel & Word" specific VI's, even though I have "Excel & Word" installed. Is there any way to "activate" those VI's without installing "Microsoft Office?" If the answer is no and I do install "Microsoft Office" will those VI's become available on the Report Generation VI palette? Or will a reinstall of the "LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office Version 1.1.3" be required?

OK any question? Install the specific Office version and if that doesn't change the registery keys that NI is depending on reinstall the LV Add-on. Of course NI, software tool-kits check registered software! Why install a "for Office" package that is unusable or (worse from a litigation point) includes functionality for unlicensed or pirated "Office" installations. Again- "*xx For (R) Office xx*" means they have gone through some licensing agreement.

Basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005 and there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed in Production

Hi all,
I got one basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005. I wanted to know How this package works in production where there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed. To check that there is excel driver installed
or not, I followed steps: Start-->Administrative Tools--> Data Sources(ODBC)-->Drivers and I found only 2 drivers one is SQL Server and another one is SQL Server Native Client 11.0.
Windows edition is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, Service Pack-1 and System type is 64-bit Operating System.
We are running this package from SQL Server Agent and using 32-bit (\\Machine_Name\d$\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\DTExec.exe /FILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\ Folder_Name\EtL.dtsx" /CONFIGFILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\Folder_Name\Config.dtsConfig"
/MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E) to run this package. I opened the package and tried to find out what connection we have used and found that we have used "Excel Connection Manager" and ConnectionString=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=F:\Fares.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"; and source is ‘Excel Source’
I discussed with my DBA and He said that SSIS is having inbuilt Excel driver but I am not convinced.
Could anyone please clear my confusion/doubt?
I have gone through various links but my doubt is still not clear.

How Can I Get a List of the ODBC Drivers that are Installed on a Computer?

Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

Hi S Kumar Dubey,
In SSIS, the Excel Source and Excel Destination natively use the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider which is installed by SQL Server. The Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider deals with .xls files created by Excel 97-2003. To deal with .xlsx files created by
Excel 2007, we need the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider. SQL Server doesn’t install the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider, to get it we can install the
2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable or Microsoft Office suit.
The drivers listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator are ODBC drivers not OLEDB drivers, therefore, the Excel Source/Destination in SSIS won’t use the ODBC driver for Excel listed in it by default. On a 64-bit Windows platform, there are two versions
of ODBC Data Source Administrator. The 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator is C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe, while the 32-bit one is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. The original 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC drivers are installed by the Windows operating system.
By default, there are multiple 32-bit ODBC drivers and fewer 64-bit ODBC drivers installed on a 64-bit platform. To get more ODBC drivers, we can install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable.
Besides, please note that 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components only install 32-bit ODBC and OLEDB drivers because it only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable has both 32- bit version and 64-bit
version.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

How to obtain the table index in word use LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office

I created a word templete and it had several tables. When I use the "Word Edit Cell" function in LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office, the function need "table index", and I didn't find any function to get or set the table index in word document. How can I achieve my attention to write value to specified table cell using the "Word Edit Cell" function?
Thanks for reply!
YangAfreet

Hi yangafreet
You do not need to get the table index for the word edit cell.vi from anywhere. LabVIEW will automatically index all the tables in the document. See the attatched vi for an example.

Add Report Generation toolkit for Microsoft Office in exe

Hi
I am having a problem. I am using LabVIEW 8.20, Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 1.1.2 and Microsoft Excel 2003. My OS is Windows XP (SP )
I want to build the vi attached below into an exe. The vis that I used are from addons>>_office>>excel.llb. I follow the suggestion found in the link below and add in all the files in excel.llb into my project so that it can be added into the executable as dynamic vis. However, some vis in excel.llb cannot be added into my project. After I have add all vis that can be added into the project, I build an application (exe) with the vi below as the Main vi and all other added vis (from excel.llb) as dynamic vis. After that, I build and run this exe on the same PC. I am unable to run it.
This vi will save datas when I click on the stop button. After I click on the stop button, a window will pop-up and prompt me to select which directory to save the vi. When I run the exe, I type in test.xls (for example) but the file saved is a picture and not an excel file. If I just run the vi instead of the exe, Excel will open and datas and graph will be displayed in Excel.
May I know where did I done wrong??
How do I use the Report Generation Toolkit in an executable with Microsoft Excel?

LV Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office says "This VI or item belongs to a library that is expired or invalidly licensed"

I have downloaded the LV Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office for evaluation with LabVIEW 2010. The examples for the Help get many errors, including "The subVI is not executable. You must fix all errors in the subVI before this VI can run." and "This VI or item belongs to a library that is expired or invalidly licensed".
I selected that I wanted to evaluate the toolkit instead of putting an activation code during installation. Installation went OK.
How can I get the examples in this LV Toolkit to Run so that I can evaluate it?
Solved!

Also when I place the MS Office Report function in my block diagram, I get: "Unable to View Properties" popup message and no Contextual Help on the function.
How can I get these RGT function to work properly so that I can evaluate the toolkit?

How do I put data into a template using the Labview report generation toolkit for Microsoft Office?

I am running Lookout 5.0 and have recently purchased the Labview Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office to create reports from my Lookout logged data. Since I have never used Labview I am having my problems. I tried following the tutorials but they do not seem to be examples of what I want to do.
I log rainfall totals (1 spreadsheet)in Lookout from 40 different sites in 5 minute increments. I copy these totals and paste them into another spreadsheet which sums them up to give me hourly totals and then paste those totals into a spreadsheet for distribution.
In Labview I create a new report and use the distribution sheet as my template, but how do I complete
the steps of loading the raw 5 minute data into labview and then paste it into the hourly total spreadsheet and then transfer those totals into the distribution template?
I have been trying to figure this out for over a week, and I am getting nowhere.
Any response would be appreciated.
Thanks

Jason Phillips

Lookout saves the files in .csv form which can be opened in Excel. I did make some progress by using the "append table to report" vi which allowed me to put values into an array and then those values were entered into my template on my report vi.
Where I am stuck now is I want to be able to put values into my template from a .csv file, not from an array I have to manually put numbers in.
Once those values are in my template I want to pull summed values from the template and place them into a final excel file for printing.
I have attached examples of the files I am working with to help you better understand what I am trying to do.
I hope that makes sense.

Control checkbox form field in word with report generation toolkit for Microsoft office

Hi all,
Happy New Year!
I insert in the word template the check box form field. It has a bookmark name "Check1".
Now I'm trying to checked or unchecked this field using the report generation toolkit for Microsoft office and I couldn't. If anyone now how to do it? I'm using LabView 8.0
Thanks in advance,
Boris
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Boris,
The Microsoft Office Toolkit does not have support for checking/unchecking check box forum field. You would have to research the activex functionality that enables this to be checked or unchecked and then do the activex calls yourself. I did hear of one csutomer who used a special font to write a blank box or a checkbox into a word document and changed it that way as well.
Maybe http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53715 gives a hint to an activex reference

National Instruments releases LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office.

The new LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office is a library of flexible, easy-to-use tools for programmatically creating and editing Microsoft Word and Excel reports from LabVIEW. Whether you need to generate reports summarizing manufacturing test results or compile process statistics to improve your production yields, this toolkit speeds your development of customized, professional reports.
To see examples of this toolkit or get more information please visit :
http://www.ni.com/labview/report_gen_toolkit.htm

It is a bit limiting though. I built my own set of VI's, a toolkit if you will, that does some of what this tookit does. But, I also wrote some functionality that isn't available in NI's kit, such as creating charts as separate worksheets and linking the charts to data on another worksheet. All in all, the toolkit is great, but you can't get as much out of it as you can using the ActiveX calls yourself.
