Hi Tod,
you only display the data in an indicator, but you can use the data also for setting up device communication. No need for a control here...
Maybe you should explain "usable". Do you want to change the values read from the file before using them? I thought you would use them "as read"?
IMHO the values from the file are instantly usable:

ok so i think i understand the picture you posted and i have my program working. But what im wondering is if there is a way to put the data im indexing out of the spreadsheet file into a text box for later use. Also is there a way to index the array i have created. Right now its setup as an indicator and i do not see an option to where is can be use as both an input and an output, Im trying to eliminate the need to keep accessing the file.

You can create a local variable of a control to be able to write to it, and a local variable of an indicator to be able to read from it.
It seems like you are missing some basic LabVIEW concepts. I would recommend looking at the online LabVIEW tutorials

Hello everyone!
I m posting here cause I think that my problem is relative with the subject.
I m taking some data from my instrument so I can graph them.The data are in form 34.123 , 25.845 , 41.298,etc
I m using spreadsheet string to array with "," as delimeter and "%f" as a format string but the array that I get is like this 34 25 41.
Where is my fault and I don't get all the digits?
