extracting data from RS232 port

I woul like to know whether I can perform the following task with Labview, or if such a task can be implemented with other softwares more efficiently:
A program should extract ASCII code from the RS 232 port(which is received from an external device), translate the data appropriately, and then take the data and place it on a spreadsheet the appropriate way.

LabVIEW can do this quite easily. The following link has links to several LabVIEW serial examples that you could use within your program or adapt to your needs.

For seeing how to put the data in a spreadsheet, trying using LabVIEW's example finder and searching for the word spreadsheet.

You might be able to combine two example programs, make some minor modifications, and have your program working without a lot of effort.
