Hi,

There are many alternatives to do this. You may use a "Path Constant" if you know the file location or get the path from reference. It will be easy to explain if  you could post your code so that i can specifically tell you , what is required in your code..

Hey that worked... But its asking whether the file should be replaced... i want to save data for some time ... so is it possible that i can save it in multiple files or append all data to the same file....

Hi,

In the file I sent you, I had made it for appending data.. Wire a true constant to the "Append to file?" terminal of write to spreadsheet function. It will append the data every time..

I really appretiated the solution. I am just begining to use LV and I want to store information that i collect (mostly Voltage and Current Readings) to a spread sheet for each trial I run. I want to add a time stamp to each and possibly a header. How would I format the spread sheet to include information other than that data?
