Running Excel macro to format sheet from Labview?

Hey, thanks in advance.
I am trying to put together a VI that can run a macro in Excel. The macro I recorded simply formats some of the cells to be bold, sets the widths/heigths, merges some cells, adds some border, etc. I have been trying to piece together a bunch of examples from the discussion forum, from LV, etc. for doing this with ActiveX. I'm really starting to bang my head on the desk... all I need to do is make all the data my program sends to Excel pretty without having the operator (or supervisor) have to do this manually.
Does anyone have an example of a program that opens a file based on an extension you give it, runs a macro, then closes the file? Or other suggestions for doing this?
All the other examples I've looked at are different enough that I just can't make it work.
Thanks a million!

Well adam welcome to the world of active x. One trick I have learned with using it is when I want to do something in the program that uses macros (ie word, excel.) then what I do is create the macro and look at the code, then I will usually duplicate the code in labview using invoke and property nodes just because I do it that way does not mean it is the best way. I do it this way so I do not have to worry about someone deleting the macro. But running the macro is not trivial if you decide to go that route. Here are a bunch of vi's that will help you out.Message Edited by jhoskins on 04-27-2005 09:00 AM

How to run Excel Macros using JDBC-ODBC

Hi,
I want to run the excel macros in the excel file, after I connected to excel file, using JDBC-ODBC bridge.
How macros treated here?
Help needed please..........
- Ramesh

How to run Excel Macros using JDBC-ODBCYou don't.
As my fuzzy understanding goes.....
Macros (excel, word, etc) run via a "OLE" extension of the script host system.
So the only way to run them is via the OLE interface. That has nothing to do with ODBC. You can write your own JNI to do that, or you might get lucky and find that someone else has written a java library to do it for you.

Hi,
Please correct me if I am wrong but it seems that you have not fetched a handle to the document object before issuing the statement CALL METHOD document->execute_macro. Hence the error OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED is being dislayed. If you want to use SAP Desktop Office Integration using ABAP Objects, take a look at this article at http://www.intelligenterp.com/feature/archive/ or http://www.sapinfo.net/public/en/index.php4/article/comvArticle-193333c63b4bd807d2/en/articleStatistic
Hope this helps.

How to run excel macros using lookout

Hi,
I want use Excel macros for generating custom reports.Is it possible to run macros using run object in lookout
thanks

Hi,
I am pretty sure you can activate macros in Excel using the Run object in Lookout. I can think of two ways you can do this:
1. You can setup your Excel to run macros on startup using the Auto_Activate method. In this case, you will just launch excel with your workbook using the Run object and that should run the macros automatically. No brainer!
2. To better control as to when the macros are run we can assign in Excel some shortcut keys for their launching. We then would need to simulate these keystrokes to launch our macros. This can be done using the SendKeys method and some scripting, WHS Scripting for instance. See this pos
t for a scripting example which simulates Alt+Tab keys to bring-to-front an app.
You will launch the script from the Run object and this in turn launches Excel and then simulates the keys for luanching the appropriate macros. I admit this is kinda involved, but hey it works!
Hope this helps,
Khalid

I have problem with running excel macro in report generation tool kit

I am trying to use Excel Run Macro.vi but run into a problem: Exception occured in Microsoft Excel, The macro 'personal.xls!Macro1' cannot be found.. Help Path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\1033\xlmain9.chm and context 0 in Excel Run Macro.vi->example.vi
Also I tried to save the macro under the file that is active and I get the same results.
I saved the macro as *.bas file and ran it using Excel Import Module and did not see any erreos and it did not do anything.
Where a re some god examples that use the excel marco feature using the new report generation vis?

masoud,
Try this example out and let me know if you have any more questions. Also, this is in LabVIEW 6.1 format. If you need it in a different format, please let me know.

How can I export formatted text from a string indicator?

Does someone know how I can export formatted text (i.e., parts of the text have different formatting, such as color, fontsize, etc.) from a string indicator? Using copy/paste does not work, as it only exports unformatted plain text.

Hello Sparti,
Thank you for your suggestions, they are all very useful, and I plan to use the HTML feature under Report Generation to export the formatted text from Labview. However, I am still not sure how I can extract the formatted text from a *string indicator* and transfer it to one of those VIs, so that it can be exported to other applications. Let me give some more specific info on what I am trying to achieve: I am monitoring the communication between two pieces of equipment. A string indicator shows all the data flow, with different colors for data coming from different instruments. I managed to do that by using a property node and playing with the selection and font color properties. Now, if you just wire the output of the string indicator, the formatting is gone and all you get is just plain black text (for instance, try to programmatically transfer the formatted text from one string indicator to a different string indicator and you will see that the formatting is not preserved). Even if you try the "brute force" method of manually selecting and copying the text in the indicator and pasting it to Word, LV does not export the formatting. But, if you paste *within* LV (for example, paste it to a string constant in your diagram), then it works. To extract the formatted string from the indicator, I also tried to use a property node, but without success. I am trying to avoid duplicating part of my code to generate the same color-coding scheme on a report. It would be way easier to be able to transfer the formatted text from the string indicator. This is particularly annoying, because the information is there, stored in the data structure associated with the string indicator. But how can I put my hands on it? Any ideas?

When calling Excel 97 Macro from Labview 5.1, get error: cant find macro!

I have a macro written that I am trying to call from Labview. To assist in this task I downloaded an Excel Macro VI off the NI Websight. The VI came with an excel workbook that included a sample macro. I can run the example with no problems. I then modified the VI to fit what I am trying to do. I can get it to work with the Sample excel macro but not the one I created (I get an error saying it can't find the Macro). I have played with the timing and that has not worked. I have also noticed that when I use the sample Macro, it will work fine for a while then after a random number of executions, it will stop working and I will get the same error as with my Macro. In order to get it working ag
ain, I have to remove the sample worksheet (macro) and replace it with the original copy. I have been pulling my hair out for a couple of days now with this one so any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am not sure what the problem could be. The VI you speak of can be found at the following link:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/explprog.nsf/6c163603265406328625682a006ed37d/190d1f351297ef9a862567740073e2bc?OpenDocument
I ran the program for excel 2000 on my LabVIEW 6.1 about 50 times and did not get the error you reported. Your macro should not be corrupted with use. Have you considered reinstalling excel? I liked the idea about turning off multithreading. Do you see the same behavior if you run in high light execution mode?

I am using LABview 5.0 and I am having difficulty with running EXCEL 2000 and my macros after I build an application.

Excel opens and runs the macros correctly in my development programme, but when I build an application and try to run it, Excel opens but does not put the data into the cells or run the macros. Excel opens and runs the macros correctly in my development programme, but when I build an application and try to run it, Excel opens but does not put the data into the cells or run the macros.
The error message is 'Object is not registered in set cell value.vi code-2147220997
I stress that it all works OK until the application is built. Set cell value.vi was downloaded from this site. I am using Windows 98.
Any help would be appreciated.

Be sure you have your Excel activex controls properly registered in your system, there are lots of activex registerers in the web. If this does not work, look at set cell value vi and check for invalid refnums. If even this fails, i'd try reinstalling app builder, but be sure you install it before any LV update (for example 5.0.1f1) unless you want problems like i had with Excel built examples. You can also send an example, and see if i can fix it, but i don't have excel 2000 (only 97) so i don't know if i can do anything else.
Hope this helps

How to simplify opening/closing Excel to grab data from LabView based software running outside the main VI

Hi,
Right now I have a program written to automate an AOP pilot with a few inputs and outputs (3 valves, ozone generator, UV lamp, TOC meter, ozone meter in liquid and gas phase, and a UV-VIS detector). The valves are controlled with digital outputs, the rest are analog in- an outputs going into a USB-6009. The one exception is the UV-VIS detector (S::CAN Spectro::lyser). We read in about 200 Abs/m values with their corresponding wavelengths. The software of this tool is ran on the same computer and it writes down these values in an Excel file (.fp). My VI needs to select this excel file while running, and grabs the corresponding data from the Excel file. I made a finetuner to select the latest data from the excel file. Now, even though this works, it's not practical for many reasons. It closes all other excel files while running for example, and opens and closes Excel twice in 30 seconds.
I found out the software of the UV-VIS detector is written in LabView too, but the company doesn't seem to care much about sharing the original VI's or making it complementary with other LabView VI's. Now I was wondering if there's an easier solution than opening/closing Excel. Are global variables an option for this problem? I'm far from an expect in LabView, so I just want to know if I should put in the time to learn about global variables or not
Thanks in advance.

Pivot onto sheet from POV removes Excel formatting

When I check "Use Excel Formatting" in the SmartView 11.1.1.3 Display tab, I can drill up and down in on sheet dimensions and Excel will retain the data's numeric formatting.
When I pivot a dimension onto the sheet from the POV, the formatting is removed.
Is this by design, or is it a bug, or am I yet again doing something dumb? My track record suggests the last, but you never know.
Regards,
Cameron Lackpour

Mike,
To echo Glenn's comment -- SmartView is not getting a lot of love over on Network54: http://www.network54.com/Forum/58296/thread/1269029730/Retain+number+formating+in+Smart+View
I am trying, really hard, to make the switch to SmartView because there are so many other compelling features but this sort of thing just kills it for me. I've spent the last three days validating data in Essbase against an OFA application (don't even ask). I started out in SmartView but couldn't take it, and reverted to the Excel add-in. Hey, at least Smart View beats OFA's client. :)
I wonder if classic Essbase add-in users are ever going to make the switch. I guess parity between the two products will determine who are the bitter-enders I know I fall guiltiy to loving the product I know.

Cameron Lackpour

I get the error code -2146827284 when trying to run an Ecxel macro from LabVIEW.

I am trying to insert data in an Excel workbook and then run a macro which I recorded in Excel to produce a plot.
This worked great on a laptop running W2K + LV7 and Office 2000.
I am now trying to do the same thing on a WinXP + LV7 + Excel 2002 and I get this error.
The complete message is:
"Error -2146827284 occurred at Exception occured in Microsoft Excel, Programmatic access to Visual Basic Project is not trusted
. Help Path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\1033\xlmain10.chm and context 0 in Excel Import Module.vi->LV report test1.vi
This error code is undefined. No one has provided a description for this code, or you might have wired a number that is not an

Can anyone shed some light on this. Running a macro is the obvious and easy way to get this work done.
See the attached VI. It includes the macro and some sample data to run it on.

the user had opened the workbook, made the changes, and clicked the button connected to that macro. What the addin copied into the workbook was data in cells that the macro uses for inputs to its calcualtions.
The error reads: "The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled"
The command in question is in an ADDIN and its code is effectively:
v2="Taxplan Template 1.17.xlsm!SUMMARIZEYEAR
Application.run v2
...etc
Immediately upon executing "Application.run " it jumps to the on error location.
Taxplan Template 1.17.xlsm is open and accessible (the addin has just copied data into it and the macro is to update a summary based on that updated data) and it contains the macro Summarizeyear which has no arguments and is not private.
If I set a breakpoint in the addin right before the "Application.run", stop the addin and manually run the macro it works fine. It begins like:
Sub SummarizeYear()
Sheets("Summary").Select
...etc
If I manually open the workbook Taxplan Template 1.17 I can run the macro SUMMARIZEYEAR without issue.
Macros are enabled in Excel.
Probably not pertinent but I've used the same style of code with .xls workbooks in the past without a hitch, this is the first instance where I used it with .xlsm format workbooks.
Excel 2007 SP3
Thanks

This line is not quite correct,
v2="Taxplan Template 1.17.xlsm!SUMMARIZEYEAR
it is missing the closing double quote, also since your file name contains a space, I would also enclose it in single quotes.
