Using report generation toolkit and MS Word

How do I insert data using bookmarks, using an array output for my data source and match up the appropriate bookmark for each value of data? I know how to do it individually using append report text, but I would like to be able to do it from an array. Thanks

The only tool that I have used to insert data at a bookmark was the Word Insert Object VI that is located on the Word Specific >> Advanced palette. You specify an object to insert at a specific bookmark. I am not sure if this is exactly what you were looking for, but I hope it is helpful.

  • Running macro on Table using Report Generation Toolkit and Office 2003 Incompatible!!!!!!!

    Hi,
    I am using some functions under the Report Generation toolkit (LabView 7.1). We recently updated our test PCs from Office 2000 to 2003. The "WORD IMPORT MODULE.VI" returns error code -41113 when used with Word 2003. No problem on Word 2000.
    In fact even the example VI available under Find Examples - Run Macro on Word Table fails and returns error code -41113 when "WORD IMPORT MODULE.VI" is called on Word 2003. Word 2000 is OK.
    Any one faced this problem???? Any solution to this problem??
    I would greatly appreciate your feedback / suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Mim

    darren,
    thanks for your reply.
    After checking the the property "Trust access to Visual Basic Project" , I get the following error message:
    Exception occured in Microsoft Word, Unable to run the specified macro. Help Path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\1033\wdmain11.chm and context 37401 in Word Run Macro.vi->SetFirstRowAsTableHeaderforWord(Macro).vi->Generate Report.vi
    I can run the macro directly from Word.. no problem running macros in Excel dirently either. I get error message only when running macro from LabView. So, I doubt if it is an IT issue.
    You don't have a problem with Word 2003 and Word Import Module.vi???
    I am attaching my Vi-Report Generation.vi and the subvi. I would so much appreciate if you run ReportGenerate.vi on your PC and let me know if there is a problem.
    Many Thanks for your help.

    Hi Leo22,
    Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!

  • Labview using Report generation toolkit in 2011 run time engine

    is that possiblity to run the  word in labview using Report generation toolkit in 2011 run time engine

    It is possible to use the Report generaion toolkit with the run time engine.  But you will have to include a lot of VIs from User lib since the report generation toolkit uses a lot of dynamically called VIs and classses.

  • Error when using Report Generation Toolkit

    Hi, all,
    I am using Report generation toolkit to generate a report in either
    word or excel format. But i even can't run the "new report.vi". It
    returns an error code of "Bad variable type (-2147352568)", and seems
    this error comes out from the "call by reference" after the
    word/excel's "open VI reference". I have checked the folder
    "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW
    6.1\vi.lib\addons\_office", there are "_exclsub.llb" and
    "_wordsub.llb". The respect VIs are all inside. I don't know why there
    is such error. Currently i am using labview 6.1, Microsoft office 2000
    and Windows NT 4.0.
    Your kindly help will be appreciated very much!!!
    Thannk you in advance!! ^_^
    Your sincerely,
    celery

    So, if you place just New Report.vi on the Block Diagram, wire in the report type and run it, it gives you this error? Do the example programs which ship with the toolset give this same error also? If so, I would just reinstall the toolset first and see if that helps. It sounds like the entire install is corrupt.

    the problem is:
    i must read & write from a excel worksheet when this is open but when i using the report generation the worksheet is open another time
    have some solution for this problem?

    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 and Office XP and 2K

    Hello Everybody
    I am having few problems with running executable using Report Generation Toolkit on machine with Office 2000, which was compiled and build on machine with Office XP (toolkit also XP).
    There are many errors which pops up, but the very first one is that the "New Report.vi" can not open the existing Excel book.
    Is there any trick, which allows machines with Office 2k to run application build with Office XP?
    Thanks in advance.
    Pawel

    Hi Cin
    Yes, that is correct. The reason why I ask was how to find a solution so both XP and 2k can work in the same time.
    You are right that most of the features for XO and 2k are simmilar, but try to use XP to open w 2k workbook from excel, it will fail.
    cheers

    you try to select a specific worksheet what is not existing, therefore just select "Channel Power" (and not Power Channel) and it should work for you.

  • Error involving Report Generation Toolkit and Labview Run Time Engine

    Developed an application using LabVIEW 6.1 and LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 1.0.1. From there, tried to build a shared application for use with the LabVIEW Run Time Engine. The Run Time version functions properly until "New Report.vi" is called and then an error is generated, code 7, calling out "Open VI Reference in New Report.vi" could not be found. When building the application, I did include the "NI Reports Support" in the advanced installer options. The machine used for original development and application build is running Windows XP Pro and Office XP. Any suggestions??

    I am having the exact same problem but with LV 6.1 and M/S WORD 2000. It appears that the "New Report.vi" is trying to open "C:\APP.DIR\Word_Open.vi" and "C:\APP.Dir\Word_Open_Document.vi" by reference. The "OFFICE 2000.TXT" says that "_exclsub.llb and _wordsub.llb must be added as support files when building an application or a dynamic link library with the application builder." I added them as Support Files and I copied them to the "C:\TESTER\" where the TESTER.EXE is and I still get ERROR 7 in "NEW REPORT.VI" at VI OPEN REFERENCE.
    Do I need to make a "C:\TESTER\DATA\" sub-dir and put the support files there?
    I am building on MY COMPUTER on F: Drive on a network and transporting files to the real Tester.
    I displayed my App.Property of APP.DI
    R at start up and it is C:\TESTER\ ! How would my application know that "Word_Open.vi" and "Word_Open_Document.vi" are actually inside the _wordsub.llb?
    Any ideas ?

  • Report Generation Toolkit and Labview 8 ?

    I currently have Labview 7.1 on my computer, and Labview 8.  I have installed the Report generation Toolkit 1.1.1, but when I try to open several of the excel and word vi's in labview 8, I get the error that "constants wired to case structures were changed to a hidden control to maintain compatibility with labview 7.1 and earlier".  And therefore the subvi's don't run.  Labview 7.1 doesn't have the toolkit installed, and I've even tried uninstalling 7.1 but nothing works.  How do I fix this?  Relinking to subvi hasn't work because it is not offered on any of the errored vi's or subvi's.  The broken wires are going into invoke node vi's, but I don't know how to fix them.  It doesn't allow me to rewire them.

    If you dont want to use it in LabView 7.1, Just make a mass compile with LabView8.0 on the directory of you package.
    It could solve a lots of that kind of problem.
    Be sure that you do net need it with your previous version.

  • Report generation toolkit and signal express user step : problem of closing reference in "Stop" event

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to make a package of Vis to easily make Excel reports with Signal Express. I'm working on LabVIEW 8.2.1.
    I'm using the report generation toolkit, so I build a .llb from my project which contains all the hierarchy of my steps, but also the hierarchy of dynamic VIs called.
    I have made some steps, like "Open Workbook", "Write Data", etc.
    My steps run well, excepts one step : "Close Workbook".
    If my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Run" Signal Express event, I have no error, so my reference is properly closed.
    But if my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Stop" Signal Express event, I have an error "1", from "Generate Report Objectrepository.vi".
    I feel that I'm trying to use a reference which has been killed in the "Stop" step...
    I would like to know what exactly do Signal Express on "Stop" event and why my close function does'nt run well.
    Thanks,
    Callahan

    Hi Callahan,
    SignalExpress (SE for short) does the following on the Stop event:
    1. Takes the list of parameters that SE found on your VI's connector pane, and sets the values that the user set from the "Run LabVIEW VI" configuration page, if any.
    2. Then tells the VI that SE is running the Stop event by setting the Enum found on your VI's front panel. This in turn should produce some boolean values telling your VI to execute the Stop case.
    3. The VI is then run, with those values and states.
    4. SE checks to see if any errors where returned.
    5. Since this is the Stop event, SE releases the reference to the VI which it possesses.
    Questions for you would be, is the reference to your Workbook linked to a control on your connector pane, or held in a uninitialized Shift Register. If it's held in a Shift Register, SE would not be aware of it, and would not be able to affect that reference.
    Hope that helps. Feel free to post your LLB if it doesn't.

  • Report Generation Toolkit and Office 10 - build errors

    Using LabView 2011 and Report Generation Toolkit 2011.
    After installing Office 10, I would get build error for Excel-Print.Vi and Excel-SetCell.vi and build is then aborted.
    2011/vi.lib/addons/_office/_excelsub.llb/Excel-Print.vi.
    Says it is unable to save a vi without a block diagram.
    Uninstalled Office 10 and reinstalled Office 2003 and build went thru just fine.
    I can program using Excel 2003 and the compiled executable will work on another computer with Excel 2011 but once I install Office 10 on my LabVIEW computer I cannot build.
    Can't believe I could be the only one to experience this. Any workarounds?

  • Error -241741785​1 using Report generation toolkit

    I try to use the Report Generation toolkit (Version 1.0.1) for MS Office und the example "Generate Report from Template (Excel).vi" return an Error -2417417851
    I run Labview 6.02, on Win2000 German, and use Office 97 (Everything is installed (included MS Graph))
    Did someone experienced such a problem and found a solution?
    Thank you for your Help!

    Is LabVIEW and Office both German? Under Control Panel >> Regional Options >> General, is the language set to German? How about under Regional Options >> Input Locale? Reboot if you make any changes.
    I would suggest reregistering the nireports.dll. It is located in the National Instruments\Shared\NI Reports directory.

    Next, mass compile (Tools >> Advanced >> Mass Compile...) the LLB's in the \vi.lib\addons\_office

  • Problem building applicatio​n using Report Generation Toolkit, LV 2011

    I'm using LabVIEW 2011 under Windows 7.
    I tried to use Application Builder to create an executable from a large body of code. One thing the application does is load VIs into a subpanel and run them.
    Application Builder created the executable and gave no error message. The built application ran except that it couldn't run any of the dynamic VIs.
    I finally succeeded in doing a screen grab on a transient dialog (about 1/10 sec. appearance). The dialog showed an attempt to load <vilib>:\Utility\NIReport.llb\NI_report.lvclass.
    In one dynamic VI I commented out the call to the only VI that uses the Report Generation Toolkit (called only from dynamic VIs, all of which call it). Sure enough, when I built the application with that change and ran it, the dynamic VI that didn't invoke the Report Generation Toolkit did successfully load into the subpanel and run.
    So, trying to prove to myself that that was the only problem, I wrote a VI that does nothing but load a VI into a subpanel and run it. User can choose one of two VIs: one that doesn't call the Report Generation Toolkit (or do much of anything), and one that does. Both VIs run fine standalone.
    The not-much-of-anything VI loaded and ran in the subpanel. The other VI didn't--the same dialog, mentioned above, popped up for 1/10 second or less. Screen grab is attached.
    When I included LVClass and NIReport.llb folders in the project (from vi.lib\Utility: Snapshot folders), and "Always Included" those folders (per a suggestion on this forum from a few years ago), the result was the same. The result was also the same when I included either one of those folders but not the other. Likewise it doesn't matter whether I add the dynamic VIs as "Always Included" or not.
    Another piece of information that may be pertinent: when adding the NIReport.llb folder, I got a message that it was impossible to add a certain VI that's part of some report-type class, because a VI of that name already existed in the project. Screenshot of that dialog is also attached.
    VIs and project file are also attached along with the two screenshots. I hardcoded VI paths, so put everything into C:\Testing if you want to see what the code does--or hack as desired, etc.
    I will be deeply grateful for any help! And I apologize in advance if there's already some exact or close-enough solution posted--but I doubt there is. I looked around.
    Thanks very much,

    Test-App-Build.zip ‏336 KB

    Hi again,
    If you extract all files in the original zip attachment to a folder called C:\Testing on a Windows 7 machine running LV 2011, and then use the build script within the project file to build the application, you can run the application and see what happens. You can also play around with the build parameters, rebuild, run, and see what happens then. You can also open my VIs and see what I'm doing.
    The application lets you pick one of two dynamic VIs to run in a subpanel. One VI contains calls both to Report Generation VIs and some functions from the Advanced File Functions palette. The other VI does not.
    When you pick the first VI to load and run (the one with the Report Generation and Advanced File Functions calls), it loads into the subpanel but is not executable.
    When you pick the second VI to load and run, it does load into the subpanel and execute. So there's nothing wrong with the way I load and run a VI in the subpanel.
    In the development environment, the whole thing runs with no problems.
    Evidently the built application has problems resolving paths of something called by Report Generation VIs and by the Advanced File Functions I use.
    I've done a lot of experimenting and no luck. I've looked in forum archives, etc. etc., for possible solutions. I'm hoping there's some simple solution I've missed.
    Thanks very much for any help!

  • Report generation toolkit and column

    Hello, i asked this question before, but this time i just needed some input..
    I originally asked, if i am doing various experiment sets and say each sets takes in about 1000 data points, and i have to do 50 such experiments continously i wanted to know if there was a way of arranging the data so that for each experiment is written in a different column, so i have 50 different column. Instead of the current one column with 50000 data points.
    I was kindly suggested various alternatives such as using arrays...now my querry is regarding something that i heard which involves Report Generation toolset.
    If i was to get this toolset, with this make my life easier interms of sorting my data out into different columns? I ahve also been
    told it will do all sorts of graphs and do pretty much everying thing falling short of making a cup of tea
    Now has any one had any experience in this type of porblem? or do i have to stick with the array solution. Incidently the reason why i have a niggling problem with arrays is that my programme is stricly no limited to just 50000 data for some runs i can decide to take more data in one set then the orther so building an array becomes problematic.
    Please let me know what you all think of this kind Regards
    Mansoor

    Hello Mansoor
    If you want to write the data to an Excel spreadsheet there are several options available to you as well as the Report Generation Toolkit.
    I have posted some links to help and advice on performing this action using the toolkit, but also using the file I/O vi's and using active X.
    Have a look at these links and if you have any further questions please reply to this post.
