Excel error -2146777998

I was trying to update the excel File continuously. The excel file opens and updates without any problem when i don't click any of the cell in the excel sheet. while during the excel update When i click any of the cell it is skipping few rows or columns in the update process. why this scenario is occurring. when it is checked for the error it is stating error -2146777998. Can anyone clarify.

This is an Excel error. When you are clicking on a cell when continuously updating you are changing the active cell and maybe also the window focus and thus messing things up.

 

The best solution to this is don't do anything with Excel while it is being updated. An alternative is to save to a csv file instead.

Thanks for the reply. As suggested will this problem will be overcome if i save as csv file. Moreover i dont find this kind of problem when i try to update excel with else other software like Vee Pro. Is this error is specific error between excel and the LabVIEW.
