I think my explanation isn't the best. Maybe the attached VI (LV8.5) explains it.
I have two 2D Arrays with data. The first 2D Array (Profil HOR) should insert in the first chart and only the second 2D Array (Profil VER) should insert in the second chart.

You need to close Exel when before your VI is running. Excel can not have two instances running at the same time.

Report Generation Toolkit, Print Excel Report, LabVIEW Crash

Hello,
when printing a report generated with the report generation toolkit for excel my build application crashes on our customers PC.
When I run this application on my PC it works fine.
The problem is the active X invoke node that trys to print the report but i cant get any error messages to find out where to locate the problem.
Maybe that there is a problem with the active X node or the Excel Version on the customers PC?
I use LabVIEW 2010 and Excel 2007 the customer has Excel 2003 SP 3.
I changed the report to generate it in Word where the Print_Report.vi fine on both PCs. But in Word Report there is called another active X invoke node to print the Report. So it seems for me that there really is a problem with the Print in Excel active X invoke node.
Mybe someon can help me in finding out whats the problem.
Greetings Daniel.

Hi Daniel,
your behavior has been reported by others. For example:
Application Build Failure on Excel.Print Report call

Problem posted: 05-17-2011 02:19 PM
Workaround posted: 06-01-2011 and later
So their workaround was to use Excel 2007 or 2010 instead of 2003. Is this working for your customer?

Problem for Report Generation Toolkit for excel 2000

Hi all,
Now I am Developing my program with Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.0 and Labview 7.1.
In my computer I am using Excel XP, and there is not any problem. But when I build to
a exe file, and use in a computer with Excel 2000, it didn't work.
And I try to check the source file in this computer, I found that there any some connection
error. And this is caused by the active X class. As I know Excel 2000 is using Microsoft Excel
Object Library 9.0, but i cannot find it in the list of active x. So it is using Microsoft Excel Object
Library with a very old verison. So in the property node there are missing functions, such as the
UsedRange in _Worksheet in the Excel_Get_Range.vi. However, In VBA, I can find the 9.0 Library.
Is it the problem of 9.0 library? How can I solve the problem? How can I upgrade the library to 10.0?
Thanks.
Regard,
Ryan

Hi Mike,
Since my program is for all the staff in office, everyone may use it.
I cannot call the whole office to upgrade the excel to XP.
And I think Report Generation Toolkit is alway support Excel 2000,
since the old version of it is not support for Excel XP.

Report Generation Toolkit with Excel 2003 and Excel 2000

Hello,
I'm using the Report Generation Toolkit to generate an Excel report from an Excel template.
The "NI_Excel.lvclass" is included in the "source" section of the application builder options.
I create an exe file on a PC where Excel 2003 is installed. On a Notebook, where only Excel 2000 is installed, the application crashes at the generation of the report:
I guess the problem is the different version of Excel but I don't know. On the developer PC with Excel 2003 it works fine.
In this document it's only talked about different Word versions.
How can I use the Report Generation Toolkit here?
I'm using it that way:
Regards

Oh, it seems that the Report Generation Toolkit "only" supports Excel XP/2003/2007.
I think, that's the problem.

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.

Mantosh,
Have you seen this developer zone article which details accessing Citadel Data using COM+ and ADO?
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/725A6C3843F13C8786256EA600633724#6
Also, this KB article provides more detail on how to access Citadel data using SQL commands and I think will help answer your question:

Reports Generation in Microsoft Excel using Forms Server

How can I generate reports in Microsoft Excel from an web-enabled forms application, as using Dynamic Data Exchange invokes Excel on the Application Server? My work-around was to generate the file on the application server, save it ,exit the Excel application and then display the excel document using Web.Show_Document. Though this method is successful, the processing time is very high.

Changing the Size of generated graph in excel report generation toolkit

Hi, i am trying to build a report generation vi for my Structural health monitoring system in which i need to export 3 graphs in to an excel report. The idea is to have the report on a single page, but when i paste them along with the ceiling and pillar deviation percentages, the report just exceeds the page limit. I wanted to know whether one can change the size of the graphs in excel? One can do it in word(tried that), but i dont want to use the bookmark option as it intend to put this up as a webservice in the next step. I am using LabVIEW 2009 Thanks.

Report Generation SHM.vi ‏30 KB

Hi,
I haven't tried this myself, but looking through the report generation toolkit the "Excel format image VI" (in the Excel specific tab of the Report Genertaion window) looks to be the one you are after. The help entry for the VI says to: "Use this VI to format any type of image in a worksheet, including front panel images, images from a file, and graphs"
Hopefully this will help.

test_table.vi ‏10 KB

OK, if NI won't provide a workaround, I'll create my own:
The problem stems from the fact that the NI Report Toolkit populate a Word table by first creating an empty table of the correct size, then placing the table contents into the copy buffer, then selects the whole table and uses Paste to push the data into the table. The problem is actually in Word, because in Word 2010 it interprets the contents of the copy buffer differently.
The solution is to alter the data that gets pushed into the copy buffer by the NI Report Toolkit. To implement my fix, you will need to alter one VI of the NI Report Toolkit (so you might want to make a backup in case this stops it from working in other previous release of Word).
Open [LabVIEW installation folder]\vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb\Word_Insert_Table.vi
There is a nested for loop that interprets the provided string array data and reformats it into a long ASCII string for the copy buffer. It should look like this:
Change the nested loop to look like this:
The changes I've made are twofold:
1. Within the inner loop, replace the "\n" char with a Tab character
2. Just after the inner loop, add a new "concatenate strings" function that adds "\n".
This alters the string that the toolkit places into the copy buffer. You should find that report tables now populate correctly in Word 2010!
This is untested on previous releases of Word, and could possible introduce problems there, so if anyone could test this for me it would be most appreciated
Best of luck!

Error Showing While Using Report Generation ToolKit VIs

Hi All,
           When I use report generation VIs Like Excel Easy Tables its showing following errors and i am not able to contiune using the same,
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\utility\NIReport.llb\Set Report Font.vi
    - LabVIEW 8.0 changed a constant that was wired to a Case structure to a hidden control to maintain compatibility with LabVIEW 7.1 and earlier.
    - LabVIEW 8.0 changed a constant that was wired to a Case structure to a hidden control to maintain compatibility with LabVIEW 7.1 and earlier.
what might be the issue, i am using LabVIEW 8.2

Hi,
In
LabVIEW 7.1 and earlier, subVIs could be kept in memory by wiring a
constant to a Case structure and placing the subVI in a case that would
not be executed. For example, you could wire a True constant to the
Case structure and place a subVI in the False case of the Case
structure, and LabVIEW would load the subVI along with the calling VI.
However, from LabVIEW 8.0 onwards, the case structure is optimized to remove code that is not going to be executed. Changing the
constant to a control ensures that this VI behaves as it did in LabVIEW
7.1 and earlier. If the intent is not to keep the subVIs in memory, you
can change this control back to a constant by right-clicking the
control and selecting 'Change to Constant' from the shortcut menu. The
proper way to keep a subVI in memory without calling it is to use a
Static VI Reference.
Good Luck!

I want to generate the same using excel report generation toolkit. when I use Excel Insert Graph.vi where the input data is 2D array with numeric data but here labview converts the empty cells (eg.x -axis 1,data1- is empty) as zero and while plotting i am getting zero for empty cell values.
Can anyone please help me on how to plot the graph without adding zero for empty cells?

Hi Bharathi,
The Excel Insert graph function takes in only 2d arrays as inputs. Since arrays can only have numeric values, any table with a null string is read as 0. Now to get a plot like you mentioned, you could read the table and replace blank Strings as NaN. NaN values in an array when plotted do not appear in the excel sheet. For reference I have attached a sample vi to help you understand.
