Community Example:Create graph of data from Excel and add a series

[FuManWho]

Overview

Creating a graph in LabVIEW with data from an Excel sheet. Then adding data using the NewSeries method of the SeriesCollection class.

Description

This VI demonstrates how to add data to a Excel sheet through ActiveX calls. It then takes the data from the sheet and creates a graph with those results. I based most of the VI on one that was mentioned in a forum discussion, which can be found here:
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-do-I-plot-multiple-series-in-Excel/m-p/265865/highlight/true#M14...

with the post highlighted. What I added was the ability to add data to the graph using the SeriesCollection.NewSeries method.

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Select if you want to add a series or not.
2. Run the VI
