How to create excel file in LabVIEW

[D. Pickens]

I am using the example VI I found on this sight to create an Excel file. The VI is "Create Excel2000_sheet.vi". This file seems to be creating a tab limited text file. Is there a way to change this VI so it creates an Excel worksheet instead? Or is there a way to change the tab limited text file to an excel worksheet using LabVIEW?

You can create an Excel sheet using ActiveX, first you open an automation, selecting Excel application as the input. Then you pass this automation, use a property node and select worksheet on it. Pass the worksheet reference to an invoke node and select add, this way you add a worksheet to the current excel window (which you can show or not using property nodes). There are many examples of how to do this, and thik that there's a Excel toolkit donated by Philips research in the developer zone. For any more questions, you know where we are.
Good luck
