.tmp file is created by NI Report generation toolkit for logging data to MS Excel

Hi,
I am getting ".tmp" file while logging data to MS Excel by NI Report generation toolkit. Instead of assigned file name, toolkit is generating a junk value with .tmp extension, but I can able to open this .tmp file with MS Excel.
Can anyone help to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Thirumala

Hi Thirumala,
You may experience issues when you try to save a Microsoft Excel file if one or more of the following conditions are true:
1. You save an Excel file to a network drive where you have restricted permissions.
2. You save an Excel file to a location that does not have sufficient drive space.
3. The connection to the Excel file has been lost.
4. There is a conflict with an antivirus software program.
5. You save an Excel file that is shared.
6. The 218-character path limitation has been exceeded when you save an Excel file.
7. The Transition Formula Evaluation feature is turned on in Excel.
8. The file was created from a template that contains embedded objects.
Hope this will help to solve your problem.
Thanks,
Sanad MM

  • Setting the title font and axis labels in a graph created with the Report Generation Toolkit

    I'm using the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office to generate Excel worksheets containing plots. Unfortunately, the default font size used in the plots is huge (see attached worksheet). I was able to use Excel Set Graph Font.vi to reduce the size of the axis labels, but there does not appear to be a function to do this to the title and legend. In addition, there does not appear to be a function to set the axis text labels. Before I write my own, has NI released additional functions to perform these tasks?
    Thanks for your help,

    Test1_-_embedded_graph's_title_and_legend_font_is_huge.xls ‏14 KB

    Hello Zeidan
    The graph title and legend font sizes can be changed by accessing a low level VI (Excel_Insert_Chart.vi) that is part of the excelsub.llb that is located at (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\addons\_office). This VI is called dynamically from within the Excel Insert Graph.vi and it uses VI server technology to access the Excel exposed properties. Attached to this post is an image of the block diagram of this VI after I have modified it to set the font sizes of the title and legend to 15. The circles in the image represent what I had to add to accomplish this.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

    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

  • LabView database connectivity toolkit 1.0.1 compatibility with MS-ACCESS 2010 / Labview report generation toolkit for Office 1.1.3 compatibility with Office 2010

    In the very near future we will be forced to upgrade to Office 2010 Company wide and I am a little concerned with some of our older test platforms that have applications built in LabView 8.2.1.  These applications save data to MS-ACCESS 2000 databases using the LabView database connectivity toolkit 1.0.1.  Office 2003 is also loaded on these test platforms with all test reports generated using the LabView report generation toolkit for Office 1.1.3.
    I have not gotten my hands on a copy of Office 2010 yet to see if there will be any compatibility issues.  Does anyone have any experience in this area?

    The MS-Access part is fairly well isolated through the ADO interface LabVIEW uses. The only possible problems there IMHO are difficulties with possible Acess compatibilities itself such as an example, SQL statement you may have invoked directly through the ADO interface. Maybe you did use a depreciated command back then that has since been removed. As long as the only thing you do are simple INSERT and SELECT statements only, I would expect it to just keep working.
    The Report Generation interface is a different beast. Microsoft manages to change the Automation interface with every version of office in a way that strongly binding applications like LabVIEW break on. There is no good way around that except not changing those methods, but that is a cause that has been lost already. You will certainly have to verify the version dependant Report Generation API VIs to still work with Office 2010 and most likely you will have to make some changes to those VIs to make them work again with the modified ActiveX interface of Office 2010. Note, that I have no experience with porting report generation to Office 2010 but I have had some headaches from porting that between Office 97, 2000, 2003, and 2007.

  • Report Generation Toolkit - Write cells to already open Excel file.

    Greetings,
    Does anyone know a way to write numeric cell values to a worksheet in an Excel
    spreadsheet that is already in memory using the Report Generation Toolkit?
    I've found that if the spreadsheet is already in memory and the user has made
    changes to it without saving the changes, when LabVIEW opens the reference to
    the report, the user’s changes are overwritten if they have not been saved
    since LabVIEW opens the last saved version of the spreadsheet.  I'm aware
    that there is a setting to "display alerts" to the user but I'd
    rather not do this.  I would like simply to obtain a reference to the open
    spreadsheet without re-opening the spreadsheet file.
    Thanks in advance!

    Space_Flight:
    I do not believe this is possible to do with the report generation VIs
    (although I have VERY little experience with these. If you really had
    to do it this way, you could use activeX controls to manually right
    values to cells in an open excel spreadsheet, but this can get rather
    cumbersome. Are users changing the values in the spreadsheet while
    your program is running? Is there maybe a way around this?

  • Getting "Save File" permission message related to Report Generation Toolkit

    I started having this problem about a month ago.  It does not affect the operation of my project but is a minor nuisance, but a nuisance none the less.  I opened a couple of Excel Specific VIs.  I did not nor did I attempt to make any changes, I was just curious as to their content (truth is I wanted to see how the active X controls were being used).  Ever since then I get the attached messages when saving my project and have not been able to get rid of it.  When OK is pressed, a Save As dialog box appears (see attached) pointing to the NI directory which contains the Excel VIs for the Report Generation Toolkit.  I press cancel and am able to save my project VIs just fine, but I would like to get to the bottom of this problem.
    I would not think that simply opening a VI would cause this behavior.  I should also mention, it not only attempts to save the VIs I opened, but every RGT VI that is a part of my project, which is even stranger.  I have not attempted a reinstall.  I was hoping for something a little less drastic, and that won't prevent this from happening again, unless I can kill my curiousity that is. Is there a setting somewhere which I am missing?  Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    It did not work.  In fact, it called out four bad VIs (see attached).  But I think this is probably normal behavior.  All the VIs in question are broken due to an unwired input on the bundle.  The bundle is the only thing in these VIs.  Could you please verify that this is the case.  It said the mass compile was complete and I am assuming that it did compile the rest of the VIs, correct?  Unfortunately I am still getting the same message.  Do you have any other ideas?  Anyone?  Thanks again for your assistance.

  • 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.
    Regard,
    Ryan
