Use the polymorphic selector under the Read From Spreadsheet vi to select String and it will read everything as strings. Then your labels will remain intact.

Read From Spreadsheet does not only handle numbers. See the little box under the function (yours says 'Double')? Click on the arrow and change the type. You can also right click on it and do a 'Select Type'.
This is what is called a polymorphic VI. There are numerous polymorphic functions in LabVIEW.
Thanks!
I'm not seeing any of this, where is it?
I'm in Labview 7.1
Thanks

Forgot that you were using such an old version.
There are instructions on the block diagram for making the function read data as strings. When you make those changes, save the modified VI in a new location with a different name.

Ah, alright. I'll do that.

I've got it basically finished, but I have one issues left over to deal with. For some reason, my modified "Read From Spreadsheet File.vi" prompts for the filename EVERY time, even though its being fed the filename. Does anyone know why this is?
I've attached it.
Thank you
