I'm having problem with writing the data from my simulated vi data into Excel. After I run the Vi it works fine. But when I wish to open the excel file in which I set as the file path, it says the file extension is not valid. Why is that? Oh btw I'm still new so forgive me if this is an obvious question. I attached my VI as well as the error.
No I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. Actually my purpose is just to create a saving application and I thougt writing to Excel would be the best choice. Do you have any tips or guide that I could follow to do so?
Actually this is something that has changed around a bit over there life of Excel. At one point it wouldn't open tab-delimited files at all unless you explicitly told it that was what you were doing. Then there was a period where it would automatically open tab-delimited files if you gave them the XLS file extension. Now, it will still open files like that, but will generate the "warning" you saw first.

If you really want to write to Excel, you need the Report Generation Toolkit (which is now bundled with LabVIEW 2014). If you type the word "Revised" (without the quotes) in the Search box of this forum, the first thing it pops up is an Example that I posted here showing how to do this.
