Increment Table Index

[ccurtis]

Hi All,

   I am using an event to save data to a spreadsheet file and have it showing on my front panel in a table. What I need to be able to do is append the data into the table each time the event is executed. I can't figure out how to increment the table index. Can anyone please tell me how to increment the index of a table to allow data to be appended to it? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

Charlie

Hi Charlie,

Take a peak at the BuildArray VI, in the following thead (8 or 9 posts down):

If you create a "local" copy of the table (on table, right-click, create-local) you can use it as a data source (right-click,change-to-read), append the row (or col) and write back to the table.

cheers

I don't know if this is the problem, but a table is a kind of 2D string array with a few extra attributes. You can use the array functions to deal with them. In this case you need to use the build array function, and wire a 1D array of strings (the new line) into the bottom (of a 2 cell build, just pull it out or add element) and the original table in to the top. This will give a new 2D array of strings with a new line at the bottom. Wire this to a table and you will see the original table with the new line.
Yours SIncerely
