Read data from Excel spreadsheet

[m4nd4li4]

Hello,

I have NEVER used Labview before so I will be registering for the
basic course soon. But one of the things I would like to do with
Labview is to read two columns of X and Y data from an excel file,
plot it and determine the area under the curve. I found various
examples that would do this, but they were for older versions of
Labview. I have also been TRYING with examples provided with the
evaluation software and finally the help menu. But I lack experience,
I found it difficult to adapt for my needs.

Is there anyone would help me out here, please???? I am using Labview
7 Express.

Regards,

Bharesh Mandalia

Hello Bharesh.

I found something in my old libraries, should work for you. The vi
reads one given column with specified no. of rows. Call it twice to
get two columns.

hope it helps.
good luck

Hi, how about including the sub VIs as well? I could use some help in this area, too.

Thanks very much,
