How can I set Excel Data In LabVIEW

[tintin_99]

Hi,

There is an example about  how to use LabVIEW and ActiveX to programmatically read in Excel data. It uses Range and then by reading Value2 it is possible to read excel values in that range in a specific sheet.

Now I would like to write data ( 2D string ) to specific excel sheet. Could you please let me know if there is a way to modify this code to use it for writing to Excel instead of reading

I actually would like to write 2D data to specific sheet of an Excel form. The Read_Excel_Values.llb works perfect for opening an Excel file, specify a sheet and then read the data but I would like to write instead of read.

Thanks

What is your problem with just using the Write to Spreadsheet File? The latest version of LabVIEW and the Write to Measurement File supports direct to excel format. Did you look at the example that comes with LabVIEW?

Could you plz let me know how can I write to a specific Excel sheet using Write to Spreadsheet File?

You can't directly but you can open excel and then import to a specific sheet.

Do you have the report generation toolkit? Have you looked at the shipping example? Have you looked at the examples in the excel board?

There are few examples in the Excel forum but I still couldn't fine any example to write to specific Excel sheet.

The excel properties such as active sheet are all documented in excel.

If you have the Report Generation Toolkit, there are some Excel specific functions for writing values into cells of a workbook.
