Excel Insert Graph (Need Help!)

[Ke Sun]

Hi there!

I am new to LabView, and trying to use the Excel Insert Graph vi. I am not sure what it means by "report in", I have tried to convert my file path for my Excel report into a string, but it won't take it, and the help says "links a report to the vi's used to control report appearance, data, and printing." Do I have to use another vi to open the Excel file first? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Take a look at the example VIs in your [LabVIEW]\examples\office folder.  There are several examples that deal with Excel and Graphs in MSGraph Examples.llb.  You must use the "New Report.vi" to generate a new report, which gives you the reference you can then use with the Excel Insert Graph.vi.  The examples should point you in the right direction.

Good luck,
