That's because you're wiring the N value of the for-loop to the "column" element of the cell cluster, and you are wiring a constant of 1 to the "row" element of the cluster. You also have several issues with the code:
Do NOT hard-code a path the way you are doing. What will happen if someone else tries to run this code? What will happen if it runs on another computer that has Windows XP? Use a control and set it to a default value if you want.
No error handling whatsoever.
Do not use integer constants in lieu of enumerations. The VIs you are calling have parameters for which enumerations are provided. Use them. Right-click on the inputs and select Create->Constant. This will create the enumerations for you. They are self-documenting.
Do not have a time delay that cannot be bypassed if there is an error. You are running the loop 500 times. What will happen if there's an error on iteration 20? The loop still has to run 480 times, forcing you to wait 480 seconds before you can stop.
Be aware that timestamps between LabVIEW and Excel are different, since they use different epochs. This has been discussed ad nauseam in these forums, so do a search and you will find out how to deal with this.
See attached modification as a starting point. You should also review the LabVIEW training materials. To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the introduction material, tutorial(s), and other material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. There are also several Technical Resources. You can also take the online courses for free.

    You might want to swap up to this Version.  There are a few things that LVtime2Exceltime.vi   does not handle correctly (like Zone, DST and the Leapyear Bug in excel)  you may want to vote for this Idea

  • Can you get an elapsed time stamp into excel that is good to a mSecond. Time since 1904 is only good to 15 msec.

    I'm try to log data at a fast rate and I'm using the 1904 time stamp. I've noticed that the system clock only updates every 15 msec. I'm logging data every 5 msec. So when I plot the data I have three readings per time slice.

    I don't know what the true update time is it exactly it looks to be around 15msec to 16 msec. If I sync to nist I will get an accurate time stamp but I'm still stuck with the slow 15msec update rate of the system clock. The time stamp accuracy isn't that important but the elapsed time from start of the test is. You can see some times you get 3 readings at the same time stamp and some time 4. To get elapsed time what I did is put time stamp value into excel then subtract that value from all values taken after that point (= D4-$D4$). Since the number of reading at each time stamp varies I can use my simple excel formula. Thank you both for you replies.

  • Excel time stamp format mismatch

    Hello all, 
                                          I am writing time stamp into an excel file. Time stamp for time 2013 & 2012 appears different although format & method of writing is same in both the cases.
    In the attached file below. When time stamp is 2012 then format of time stamp in excel file & in input is same but when time stamp is 2013 then format of time stamp what i am writing actually & what appears in excel file is different.
    Dont know where exactly it is going wrong ?
    Kudos are always welcome if you got solution to some extent.

    Thats what my question is ?
    Just to be absolutely certain I understand you: when you type a date in 2013 into an Excel sheet, it displays differently than when you type a date in 2012 into the same cell in the same Excel sheet. Is that correct? If you did this with two different files, try it with a single file.
    If you see this behavior when you enter the text directly from the keyboard, why are you posting it in a LabVIEW forum? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with LabVIEW.
    Why can't you upload your Excel files that demonstrate this behavior?

    Your program does not create an Excel File.  It creates a text file that Excel is able to open up and import.
    As it is right now, the name of the file you create is  determined by a dialog box that pops up with the old version of the Open/Create/Replace file that you have.  If you want the program to determine the file name, you need to build a file path out of string data in the same manner you are using the string coming from the Get Date/Time String function you have inside the loop.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You have at least two possibilities:  One is to do the formatting yourself with string functions and write the data as a text file or an array of strings.
    Another is to convert the timestamp to a Double and save it as numeric data.  This is only useful if your are going to read the data back into LV and analyze it there, because Excel's numeric representation of date and time is different from that used by LV.

  • Exporting data to excel with time stamp

    We have written an express VI code recording voltage. The code works, and the data is recorded, but the data is transferred to an excel file without the time stamp. In the excel file we have the data down column A, but there is no time at which any of the data was recorded. Is there a way we can get the time recorded in excel also? Thanks for the help.

    I maybe wrong but I believe that the timestamp data associated with the data that is logged will be in the TDMS file as properties of those channels.  Are you sure the time data isn't logged as a property?

  • Time Stamp problem while writing data into the excel file

    Hii, All
                  I am taking the data from the DAQ card of the TOPSCCC with the 8 ms of scanrate for each channel and there are total 16 no of Analog channels in the Card, now i am acquiring the data from the card, time stamping it and writing it into the excel file, which is tab delimited, now the problem is, the data which are in the excel file have the same timestamp for 4 to 5 continuous records, instead we want each data with the different and continuous time stamp with same difference of time stamp between two records, mean if it is difference of 8 ms then it should be the 8 ms for all, but here it is taking the differnce of 16 ms for two samples and giving same time stamp for four to five records and that shouldn't happen, here i am attaching my vi, drivers for the cards and Excel file with the data, can you please give me any suggestion how to do it?
           Please help me i require this suggestion as early as possible, i am requiring it urgently.

  • Format Time Stamp String for excel error

    Hi all,
    I am currently trying to format the time stamp from labview to excel, in an excel recognizable format.  Ive attached a photo of that part of the vi.  The time stamp is formated correctly when it leaves the format time stamp block and after it leaves the build array block, but when it is written to excel file it is formated in what looks like a standard format and excel does not recognize this as a time stamp.
    Any ideas to fix the issue?
    Thanks

    The Example Finder has a few ActiveX examples I think one uses Excel.
    Also if you have the Report Generation Toolkit I think this is what you need
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/38D7104644E0F7A5862578B1001A86C5
    It sets the cell format to be how you want.  The default for a timestamp is "m/d/yyyy h:mm".
    BUT I just think I have an easier solution.  The problem is it correctly detects that this is a time stamp, but the cell format is incorrect.  If we convince it that it is a string it will look right and I assume that's all that matters.  So add a space to the front of your time, so have the format be " %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" (notice the space) and I think it will look the way you want because Excel thinks it is a string.

  • Help with saving time stamps to "write to measurement file" excel format.

    I am having problems saving the timestamps from my data to the write to measurement express vi for excel.  My incoming data is converted from dynamic data to a 1d array for processing, which I understand you lose the time stamp data. I added a new array for time stamps but this array then cannot be converted back to the dynamic data that is requested to go into the write to measurement file express vi.  I would prefer to leave the data in an array to be saved rather than converting it to a waveform so is there any way to add the time stamps from my 1d array back into the write to measurement file? 

    I set it up to build a waveform now but I am still having issues with it saving the correct timestamp.  The time just incriments for every second (as it did before converting the dynamic data to the waveform). I attached a screenshot.

  • HOW DO I ACHIEVE A TIME STAMP, IN THE FIRST COLUMN OF MY SPREADSHEET IN EXCEL,SHOWING THE TIME INTERVAL, INCREASED BY THE SCAN RATE ?

    FROM AI START VI TO FORMAT AND APPEND VI TO CONCATENATE STRINGS,SECOND INPUT IS TAB,THEN EVEY OTHER ONE IS TAB. THIRD AND FIFTH INPUT IS ATTACHED TO GET DATE/ TIME VI, THEN END OF LINE, THEN CHANNEL 0; TAB; CHANNEL 1;TAB, AND SO ON THROUGH CHANNEL 7. THEN THE LAST INPUT IS END OF LINE. ON THE SPREADSHEET I RECIEVE THE SCAN RATE, THEN THE DATE ,THEN THE TIME; ALL ON THE FIRST ROW. THE NEXT ROW HAS THE COLUMN LABLES, AND DATA GOES TO THE CORRECT COLUMN. BUT NO TIME STAMP COLUMN. I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE IN COLUMN "A" EVEN WITH THE FIRST ROW OF DATA. EX." 10:01:01 200 300 400
    10:01:03 200 300 400
    THANK YOU
    FOR YOUR HELP, JOE BOB CRAIN

    I think the best way is to generate an array of time values to send to your spreadsheet BEFORE channel 0 data.
    To generate the array you can use Ramp Pattern.vi from 0 to 'Actual Scan Rate' (from AI Start) * number of scans performed.
    That way in your spreadsheet you will have the first line same as now, next the columns with time(secs), channel 0, channel 1... channel 7.
    If you need the time column with date and time string, you can use Get Date/Time in Seconds.vi when you begin acquisition, then sum the seconds obtained to the array calculated as above and next use Format Date/Time String.vi to obtain the time stamp you need, next build array of time stamps and sent to your spreadsheet.
    Hope this helps
