Writing data from labview to excel

Hi, currently I'm trying to get an array of data from labview into a specific excel file everytime.
The attachment i have is a program creating a new worksheet everytime it runs. I couldn't figure out how to make it work. Anyone can help me?
Attachments:
Excel Copy Example.vi ‏19 KB

So what is the specific problem? What is it doing that is incorrect? If the problem is that it is creating a new file every time its because the first subVI is opening a spreadsheet template file. Or at least I think it is since all of the subvis are missing...

Try using format part of the JSTL tag libs.
Syntax :
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>

I task that something is wrong in my system configuration.
I work on a Win2000 platform and Office 97.
Someone knows the reason of this error and can suggest what to make.
Thanks in advance.
Antonio M.

Antonio, maybe you can post this back to the Jacob list. As an alternative to Jacob, what about Apache POI or writing the data as comma-delimited and opening the file using Runtime?
Hope that may help.
Good luck.

How to acquire and display data from labview to excel simultaneously

hello,
I am using the NI-DAQ to measure the falling edges of a clock and display them into a table. What I need is to display these data in a table in excel while the program is running. In addition, when I receive a pulse from an external clock, for which I have created a digital channell, the data must be logged in a different column. In other words, every time I receive a pulse the data must be stored in the adjacent column in excel.

Hello Evangelos,
As far as I know and have experienced, it is not possible to access a spreadsheet file (or any file, for that matter) by two programs at the same time, you will get an error.
Also, a couple of observations on your code:
A constant wired to a case selector of a case structure makes no sense as the false case will never be executed.
Move the DAQmx Read from your Digital Input task into the while loop, as the DAQmx Read will only read once and the wire won’t get information in or out of a while loop as long as the while loop is iterating.

Is it possible to export a histogram from labview to excel

Hi achfire,
The LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit allows you to create different graphs in Microsoft Excel, including Bar Graphs. Check out the Report Generation Toolkit section of the White Paper below for more information. I've also linked to a section of the Report Generation Toolkit Help document which gives more details on the different types of graphs you can export.

How to Save Data from DataGrid to Excel Sheet?

Hi All,
I am trying to use Adobe Flex 3.0 for making web pages.
I want to save the data from DataGrid and Advanced DataGrid of Adobe Flex 3.0 to Excel Sheet file. I am trying Flex Help, but didn't find answer for it.
In the application there is a button for 'save' by pressing which the 'Save As' window should appear.
And giving the path to the '.xls' file, the data from DataGrid should be saved on that location in .xls format.
This is my requirement.
If anybody knows how to do this please help.
Thank You,
Sharad

Hi
Using document.applet.saveAsCSVFile(); code you can not get data in proper format.
For one of my application i have stored the data from Grid to excel.
But i am not sure about Adobe Flex 3.0, my code will work or not.
Also you need to make the "Initialize and Script Activex Control Not marked as Safe" as enabled in your IE.
You can share ur email. So that i can send the code. Here I am not able to paste the code.
Thanks

Query Data From Oracle to Excel

Dear all,
Please guide me to solve.
Regards
Dharma

Question's Caption is : Data From Oracle to Excel
While you are asking :
data in execel (windows ) move to Oracle Database table (Linux *64)Anyway, if your question is export data from Excel to Oracle then below thread may be of your interest which are saying that you have to install Dg4ODBC on Windows and use the ODBC driver there.
When running DG4ODBC on Unix you need an ODBC driver on this Unix box which can connect to the MS Excel file. I'm not aware of any suitable driver so far that fulfills the ODBC level 3 standard required for DG4ODBC.
So instead of using DG4ODBC, get the Windows software of DG4ODBC and install it on a Windows machine. You can then connect from your Oracle database to the Dg4ODBC listener on Windows which then spawns the DG4ODBC process. This DG4ODBC process then uses the MS Excel ODBC driver to connect to the Excel sheet.

Copying data from Plus to Excel

Hi,
We are having a problem with the Plus version (10.1.2.48.18).
When copying some data from a Plus workbook the headers that standabove columns aren't being copied. This is different then in the full version where headers are being copied.
Is there someway to include header information in a ctrl-c/ctrl-v action? Or is this simply not possible?
TIA.
Jacco

I understand you copy the data from Plus to Excel using ctrl-c/ctrl-v action directly and you can have errors. You have to export directly from plus.
To do it, you have to click File in the menu and select Export to Excel.
Hope this helps.

it's bit urgent issue. So please help me in this. it would be very helpful to me. so please share your suggestions for this.It might be urgent for you, but what makes you think everyone should drop what they're doing (their own work) as if your issue is more important than anyone elses?
And to top that you've come onto the Oracle SQL and PL/SQL forum to ask a question about TOAD (a non-oracle product) and Excel (a non-Oracle product).
In answer to your question however, when you go to export your data from TOAD do you have the "Display all results in grid" option checked (which is the default). If so, then as it queries all the data and tries to write it out to a CSV file, it will also try to load all that data into the grid within TOAD, which can cause it to run out of memory. Uncheck that option and TOAD will just read the data and write it to the file.

Export data from forms to excel

HI
In my application im trying to export data from forms to excel.Everything works fine.First of all im using get_file_name for selecttion of file and passing it to ole2 package as follows
FILENAME := GET_FILE_NAME(File_Filter=> 'XLS Files (*.xls)|*.xls|',dialog_type=>SAVE_FILE);
     ARGS:=OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
     oLE2.ADD_ARG(ARGS,Filename);
     OLE2.INVOKE(WORKSHEET,'SAVEAS',ARGS);
The problem is if i select an existing file the get_file_name itself raises one message ".....file already exists Replace an existing file?"
Similarly the excel also also raises the same message "".....file already exists Replace an existing file?".I want to suppress atleast one of them? Could anyone help for this problem?
appreciate ur help
THANKS

Looks like...
ole2.set_property( ex_app, 'DisplayAlerts', false );
where "ex_app" variable Excel Application -
     ex_app:=     ole2.create_obj('Excel.Application');
and more Question:
When i close excel app - in process viewer i see "excel.exe"
ole2.release_obj don't work :(

Filter data from Powerpivot to Excel

Hi Everyone
Is there a way to filter data from Powerpivot to Excel so that you are only selecting a subset of records to pivot over in Excel?
Paul

Hello Paul,
Your requirement isn't quite clear for me, can you explain it more detailed, please?
If you add a PivotTable with PowerPivot as data source, then you can use slicer/filter in the PivotTable to filter a subset of the existing data.
