Hi All;
I have captured some of the test data in Microsoft Excel. How can I read that data using LabVIEW and then do some analysis on that, such as FFT,...?
Thanks

cstudy,
there are several ways to read data from Excel:
1. Use ActiveX to open excel file and use ActiveX methods to read data if you have multiple worksheets in excel file. This is probably the most difficult way because it depends on ActiveX calls
2. Export data from excel to .csv file and then use LV functions to read the text file, parse the data and push it through FFT
3. Excel files are tab-delimited files and if your excel file has only one worksheet, you may be able to treat excel file as tab-delimited text file, but that needs to be verified.
good luck,
Serge

I tried but it still does not work. Attached is a simple LabVIEW file. This file can read LV measurement file (.lvm) and proceed to do FFT but does not read Microsoft Excel File (.xls). How can I modified it to read Excel file?
Thanks

Please do not post search tools. It just brings up more and more search tools.

smercurio_fc is simply trolling -- creating yet another search link is not helpful.

No, he was not trolling. He didn't get such a high ranking on the forums by being a troll.
Sometimes the best way to find an answer is by searching. Fortunately it looks like you have much better search skills than the original poster who didn't seem to even try.

Hello
Please just go to link below and download the vi sample related to read excel files by LabVIEW. (it is in Persian)
