Writing to Spreadsheet

Hello,
I am trying to write data to a spreadsheet.
I have to import this:
import jxl.*;
import jxl.write.*;
I get an error that says PACKAGE JXL DOES NOT EXIST.
How can I import this package to use it?
Thanks in advance.
Jenny

Do you have a .jar file that contains the classes? Add the full path name of the file to your CLASSPATH. Google for "set java classpath" or some such.

  • Writing to spreadsheet question

    This is fairly basic yet I have been unable to nail it. I have 3 variables (x,y,z) that I need to record onto a spreadsheet in a single row, for each iteration I run through a loop. What I've been trying to do is to create an array of the 3 values, and then use array to spreadsheet string, and then write to the spreadsheet.  The only problem is that one of the variables is a string, the other a numeric, and the other already an array (its a length measurement from IMAQ). How do I put them together in the same array...I've included example code and excel output.
    Thanks

    You can manually build the output file for tab delimited text output.  Just convert any numbers to strings, then concatenate these strings with tabs separating the variables and an End of line constant at the ends.

  • Help on Writing to Spreadsheet

    I have made improvements on my program. Now i am trying to export the data to a file.

    I don't know? Is it? Did you open the log file after your program stopped and see if it was correct? We don't know what you're trying to log. If you really only want to log the max values, and log when the program stops, then yes seems correct. If you want to log continously, then no it's not correct. Did you look at the example Crossrulz suggested? That example will log continuously. But, again, we aren't sure exactly what you need to log.

  • Excel 2010 cannot complete this task... Error in a shared spreeadsheet

    The layout
    A server in an office connects 5 computers running windows 7 and using MS office plus 2010(32bit) and 1 computer running XP using MS office plus 2007(32bit), they are all 64bit OS's besides xp. They share many spreadsheets that are opened, edited and updated
    simultaneously off the server. Since the spreadsheets need to be referred to each other, 2 up to 5 excel files must be opened on the computer I'm working on.
    I'm working with a computer that has the following error during reading and writing to spreadsheets.
    "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources choose less data or close Other applications"
    This error occurs simply because excel has used up all the resources. However I'd like to avoid the simple "close redundant spreadsheets" because sooner or later they will need to be used.
    The problem is that its only one computer that is having this problem all other computers don't get this error despite having equal amount of spreadsheets opened as the problematic computer. We've upgraded the ram and graphics card on that computer yet problem
    persists. I'm aware of the 2gb ram access restriction office 32bit has.
    The only solution I can think of would be to install a 64 it version of office on this computer set the default program that opens the file to the 64bit excel version (only for the problematic computer). Will cause errors? Seeing as other computers run 32bit
    office?
    Does anyone know of any other ways of doing this? When the error occurs the file is locked and all data that is entered into the file after that is lost. Thanks in advanced

    Hi,
    Do these five pcs have the same hardware?
    As far as I know, the above memory error messages can be very generic and don't always identify the real cause of the issue. Please follow the KBs below, try the methods and check if they are helpful.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2779852
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2655178
    Then, I agree with you, we can update the Excel to 64bit version. Because the max RAM usage of the Excel 2010 32bit version is 2 GB. Even if we add more physical memory, 32bit version won’t be able to use it.  I recommend you use Excel 64bit
    version to open/edit the large workbook instead. The 64-bit version of Excel 2010 is not constrained to 2 GB of RAM usage like 32-bit applications does.
    Hope it's helpful.

  • Number to fractional string not working correctly

    I am measuring some parameters from oscillsocpe. i need to write these values to text file for which i am using write to spreadsheet, but what is happening is it is always writing zero value to file, on debugging i found that while converting from number to string it is always writng zero to string indicator, then separately i used that number to fractional string indicator and it is always showing zero in string output , i dont why it is happening.
    Attached below is the code.

    Thanks for ther reply
    Ranjeet singh,
    number to fractional string is working correctly, there is some other problem, because inly when i am executing this code converting this rise time value to string then only it is showing zero, otherwise for any random number if i am checking this number to fractional string is working correctly.
    Norbert_B
    i dont need to convert it back to string that i am doing only to check why it is showing zero value on converting number to string , because when i was writing to spreadsheet file it was always writing zero value, so when checked that code it was observed that while converting from array of numbers to spreadsheet string it is always writing zero value that's why i am doing it here just to check why it is not converting to string, but your suggestion helped in focussing the string that i am gettong from VISA read, i can use that  in last case if i wont be able to find the solution but main problem is that why i am not able to convert it back to string, why it is showing zero because it is because of this only write to spreadsheet is always showing zero value .

  • MacBook Air 11" for a College Student

    I am an incoming freshman in college and will definitely not be majoring in any math or computer courses (therefore, no heavy gaming, no intense graphics, no photoshop, no art stuff, etc.). I would mostly be using the laptop for writing papers, spreadsheets, presentations, surfing the internet, and storing photographs and a couple of movies. I have an external disc drive (1TB) to store the thousands of pictures I have and whatever so it doesn't take up a lot of space on my computer. I love the portability and sleek design of the MacBook Air 11" and I am definitely purchasing it, but my question is: what specs should I get in terms of RAM, speed, etc. so that I can do what I need to do and it will last me 4+ years with software updates, etc? Will the base model be enough?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I would suggest the 13" screen because it is much easier to read. Get the most RAM you can afford; next the biggest SSD you can afford.

  • What are some of your favorite packages / VIs?

    After Hoovah gave me a link to his Variant Repository, I realized it was a very useful bit of code.  This got me thinking:  What are some other addins or libraries that people use, and why?  Or maybe just one little VI that you find yourself using over and over.
    To get it started, I have attached one such VI that will move a "pop-up" input window to your mouse location.

    I made this vi several years ago and still use it all the time. We do lots of data logging here and the standard is a time stamp on column 1 and then data in columns 2-x.
    The time stamp can be fed in or generated in the vi if the timestamp input is left disconnected.
    It also takes a single dimension [DBL] array of measurements and file reference and converts the LV timestamp to OLE (Excel) time.
    The thing I like about using it over other methods of writing a spreadsheet file, even XLR8, is since it uses file references the data file is locked so if you try to open it. You can still open it in Excel but only read only. This allowes LabView to still be able to write to the file when you are viewing it in Excel. I know you should not do that, but everybody here does it.

  • Creat file to write to spread sheet

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to save my voltage and time data after DAQ. The data went
    out OK. They are built to be a 2D array and I transposed them.  I
    wish to write them in Excel and thus can process data in that.
    I used  "File Path Control", "Open/Creat/Replace File', and
    connected the refnum to "Write to Spread Sheet File". Now I have two
    questions about writing to spreadsheet file.
    First, I'm using Labview 8.0, and there is no dialog pops out even if
    the "File Path" is empty. If I enter file path firstly, I have to
    specify .xls in order to create a Excel file. How to make the dialog
    telling me I haven't select a file path pop up in case I forgot and all
    the data would be lost?
    Second, Is there a way to append string head to a spread sheet? For example, time   (tab)  voltage?
    Thanks a lot!

    hi learner2,
    if you want to wrtie to an excel file directly, you can try to use a wrtie to spreadsheet vi on the functions palette in file I/O . you can connect your 2D array to the input, specify the format and it will automatically ask you the location where to save your spreadsheet. Try using find examples and type "excel" in the search field to find more examples regarding spreadsheet .

  • Saving the data to spread sheet.

    Hi guys, i just have a simple question about the function "writing to spreadsheet". I have a 16 channel output from the DAQ assist, and i connect this output the the "2D line of the writing to spreadsheet". I do have a a file save at the location i desire. Here is the question, the data i collect is continuous, is there a way that i can only store a controlable number sets of data point in the spreadsheet? The next question would be that is it possible to give a title before each data in the spreadsheet. I.E if i have a 3x3 array. i want to see the following happened in the array" DATA1 DATA2 DATA 3
                                                            5            5           5
                                                           5             5           5" or
                                                       "DATA1     5           5
                                                        DATA2      5          5
                                                        DATA3      5          5"
    Thank for you time reading my problems,

    1) to store a controlable number sets of data point in the spreadsheet you just need to play with your 2D array of data and remove what you dont want.
    2) you can add text by simply creating a string that concatenate whatever text you want with your data. See my example

    You are not writing to an Excel file -- you are writing a "spreadsheet", which is entirely different.
    It is usually a good idea to write yourself some documentation, as it can help decide how to structure your program.  For example, do you collect all of the data, and then write it all at once?  That suggests three sub-VIs, "Acquire Data from VISA", "Extract Data from Serial String", and "Output Data to Excel".  The output from the first VI could be an array of Strings that look like "XCount: 123   Depth: 456  YCount: 789", the output from the second could be a 2D array whose columns are the XCount, Depth, and YCount values, and the third sub-VI would take this 2D array and use the Report Generation Toolkit to write a true Excel file (.xlsx) with headers XCount, Depth, and YCount and containing the values from the 2D array.  Each of these tasks is relatively simple to do "stand-alone", and it will be much easier to maintain/modify your top-level design if you only have 3 sub-VIs (with maybe some "bookkeeping functions" like getting file names) to worry about.
    On the other hand, if you need to acquire/parse/output a point at a time, this can still be done, but now you have to mix everything together.  Still, conceptualizing it as three sequential tasks (and maybe making three sub-VIs that do "one piece" of each task) might help you develop your algorithm.

  • Bug in writing Integer Data in Hex in Write Spreadsheet File

    It appears that Write to Spreadsheet File forces all data to I64. Try writing an I16 or I32 array with a negative number. Format specification to 4x, 8x or whatever is ignored and you get a full completent of 16 bytes with a lot of FF's at the beginning making it I64

    Hi;
    it's not a bug it's a feature :-)
    Whenever you want to format numbers the formatting routine will try to leave as much digits as needed/possible. When you format I8 then 2 digits are ok, I16 needs 4 digits and so on.
    You can easily test this behaviour when using the 'Array to spreadsheet string' function (it's also used inside 'Write spreadsheet file'). When saving negative integers as Hex formatted ALL digits are needed to describe the number and so you get all of them in your text file!
    The only problem is: 'Write to spreadsheet file' only knows about I64. Whenever you want to save negative numbers you get 16 digits regardless of format string.
    Solution:
    Change the 'write to spreadsheet file' as described before or do the formatting on your own by using 'array to spreadsheet string'!

  • My vi is writing just the same data into spreadsheet even after changing the loop iteration time. hw can I change this mode ?

    My VI is writing the same amount of data into spreadsheet file even after changing the for-loop iteration time

    You should post the VI (with appropriate values saved as default) to this thread.  (At least a JPEG or PNG screenshot).
    Inside the For Loop, right-click on the N terminal and create Indicator.  Run the VI and you will see how many times the Loop spins.
    Further guessing:  You may have a 2D array with two rows and many columns feeding the For Loop.

  • Writing two arrays to a Excel Spreadsheet

    Guru's
    I am trying to take information from two arrays and write them to a spreadsheet. One array generates the headers information for the columns, the other array is a random number generator. The number of columns and rows are input from the front panel. The first column of the chart is time at some multiple (interval) input from the front panel
    The problem I am having is timing the data out of the loop at the same time so they write together. One loop writes first and the other is left out. The data is going out to an excel spreadsheet. The data is correct for the headers and the columns, but won't write together.
    I have only been using LabView for six weeks and have spent a good portion of this weekend working on this problem.
    Attached are screen shots and the .vi of the problem. Explanations of each loop are writen in the block diagram.
    Thank you for your time and help!!

    First let's talk about the code flaws:
    Placing a text decoration over a path constant does not turn it into a valid path constant.
    All your controls belong outside the loop, because it would be really bad if they could change during running of the loop. This is also less work, because LabVIEW does not need to re-inspect the control during each iteration.
    Your while loop should be a FOR loop because the number of iteration can be calculated before the loop starts. This eliminates checking for termination.
    You are not writing any excel files. You are just writing an ASCII table, but you possibly force excel to open it via a fake file extension. (this might be OK, but make sure to NEVER save it later as excel or the file structure would change dramatically).
    "# of rows" and "# of machines" should be integers (blue).
    Don't be afraid to brance a wire. You don't need any local variables if you do so.
    To determine the order in which the segments are written to the file can be determined by dataflow if you wire it correctly. Wire the path to the write function that needs to write first. Then use the path output of this function and wire it to the next instance. Now the second instance must wait until the first one is finished.
    (Currently you are branching the path wire, and the execution order is random!)

  • Writing data to spreadsheet in FOR loop without shift register

    My program has a case window within a For loop.  The loop iteration index is wired to the case, so there’s a case for each iteration of the loop (about 30 cases).  In each case, data points are gathered, formatted to a spreadsheet and written to a file, along with some occasional header strings to describe the data.  This works fine, as I can simply write the data to file as soon as I get it. 
    At some point in the loop, I’m gathering from two sources (rpm data for two fans) over several iterations that is to be written to two separate but similar formatted tables in the same output file.  Since I’m writing two tables to one file simultaneously, I can no longer write on-the-fly in a linear fashion; I’d need to store all the information until I complete the iterations, then format the header & raw data to spreadsheet and write to file in two chunks – at least, this is what I believe is the way to go, but I’m all ears if there’s another way.
    In order to buffer the data, I could use a shift register, but this requires me to wire an array across my loop for all loops, whether I’ll be using it or not.  I’ve also considered initializing an array at the case I’ll need to start buffering, then writing to a local variable of that array, but in fiddling with this approach, I don’t see how to specify what index to which I’m storing the data point.
    So I’m looking for advice on whether (1) there’s another way to accomplish my goal and/or (2) how to execute the initialize array and local variable approach. 
    Below is a picture of what I want this portion of the spreadsheet to look like.  Also included is a much abbreviated mock-up of my program for a case where I’m writing on the fly for a single table or column of information and a case where I’m setting up the write to local variable approach.

  • Writing CAN data to a spreadsheet or word processing file.

    Hi. I need to know how I can write CAN data to a spreadsheet or word processing file. I have a vi that reads information from a CAN device and I need to write everything that is read to a spreadsheet or word processing file. Also I'm getting an error message using a vi that uses the frame API to write and read frames. It happens when I change the read or write queue value. Right now they are set at 100 each and when I change them just a little(even by 1) there is an error. Thanks in advance.

    I would recommend against writing DIRECTLY to Excel, while the CAN vi is running, the MSOffice interface is too slow to be doing while the CAN vi is running. There are 2 different ways you can get around this problem though.
    1. When you receive a CAN frame you want to log, write it to a buffer of some kind in Labview (this could be a string buffer wired to a shift register, it simply adds the new data to the end of the buffer) then when your VI closes, it writes the string data to an excel worksheet.
    2. You could log the data to a text file, if you use the Write File.vi (in the File I/O pallette) you can quickly write data to a file if it is done correctly. DO NOT use the VI's on the first row (Write to Spreadsheet.vi and Write Characters to File.vi) because they will be too slow, they open the file, write data, and then close the file each time they run, which takes too much time.
    As for changing the buffers, you can do that, if you change the buffers at the time you call ncCANConfig, if you change the buffers after that you will get an error.
