How do I stop my program after it finishes reading a spreadsheet?

[gregs102]

I'm reading data from a spreadsheet that has 2 columns and a variable amount of rows. I want my program to stop when it runs out of numbers to read. I've attached what I have so far, can someone help me?

The "Read From Spreadsheet File.vi" reads only text data, not from an Excel spreadsheet file (as the name might imply). You need to use Active X to invoke and read directly from a spreadsheet. It's not too tough if you've got examples.

Check out the following thread. It's got some examples:

hi

I do not see the need for stopping the read operation of your spreadsheet-file; this functionality is included in "Read from Spreadsheet file.vi" - use it like shown in your changed vi. I would suggest to save your Data in .txt-file. Test the attached vi's.

Thanks guess I was just making it more complicated than it needed to be.
