No, no, no!

You've been told that you cannot use the Read From Spreadsheet function with a native excel file. Either save the excel file as comma or tab separated text or use ActiveX function to read Excel. You have no other options so please pay attention to what has already been said.

I am confusing about AxtiveX function, I selected Invoke node function in that what should i give the input? in  the name of reference?

I just want to know , How to use the ActiveX tool. What should I give as input for refernence

[Yamaeda]

You should be able to invoke an Open document node (or similar) and wire your file path to that. (i dont have office at home)

Write Table to XL.vi

Look inside the subVI's.

Hello Ravens,

                            That example Is writing the.xls file from .vi. but, I need to write the .xls file to .vi to plot the graph between specified coulmns and shouold start from 24th row in the excel file. You see  that ecel file here I am attaching

Look inside the SubVI called Set Cell Value.  Instead of writing a cell value, change that property node from Write to Read.  Attach an indicator to it instead of a control as it is now.

Now with that bit of code (save as a new subVI since you don't want to accidentally overwrite the example) you can Read from a particular cell in Excel.

hai, Here there is "open exel" file tool from this how can i convert to read .xls filr from this example?

[RavensFan]

Use the instructions I just gave you to modify the Set Cell Value VI.  (And as I said, do a Save As to a new file name so that you don't overwrite the existing example.)
