Excel Plot

This was a fun exercise.  In recent years, NI has vastly improved the Excel Report Generation process, no longer using ActiveX calls that rely on Secret Microsoft Hidden Mysteries.  To accomplish the task took 6 Report functions, one Array function, and two File functions (to create an output file with a different name).  Here it is:
