How to programatically save an Excel file

[AT1]

I have been able to successfully open a tdms file in Excel using the tdms plug-in.  Now comes the question: how do I programatically save an Excel file?

I found the examples from this page very helpful for excel reporting - hope this is what you're looking for.

There is an active X interface for the TDMS Addon

I have never used it.  Post a nice example when you get it working will you?

If you don't want a TDMS file and don't have the Report Generation Toolkit, then ActiveX would be your best bet.  A simple write to Excel takes less than 8 nodes. There is a very basic example in the LabVIEW help.  Just search the help for Excel and choose Excel - Write Table.vi.  Alternatively you can just find it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 201x\examples\Connectivity\Excel
