Read data from excel. Build wavefrom.

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi all,

 

      I'm trying to generate signals from excel in labview. I cannot figure out how to read data from excel than build it as a waveform. I tried the " read from spreadsheet.vi" and " build waveform vi". It doesn't work. It's super helpful if someone could tell me how to make the vi or make an example. My example excel file is in attachement.

 

Thank you so much,

Laffer

You cannot read a native Excel file with that function. It reads delimited text files. Save the file in that format or use ActiveX to read Excel.

Hey gentlemen,

these are your options:

 

- Do it yourself: get started with the ActiveX examples that ship with LabVIEW (Help->Find Examples->Search "ActiveX"). Find more info here: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3520/en/ and here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/BreakPoint/Excel-Board/td-p/379682

- use the Report Generation Toolkit that now ships with LabVIEW Full: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3178/en/

- use our commercial Tool "XLR8" that does not require Microsoft Excel to read and write xlsx files. Download it for a free trial from the LabVIEW Tools Network: http://www.ni.com/labviewtools/xlr8 - Get started using the Quick Reference Guide to be found here: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-30645
