Reading Time Stamp from Spreadsheet File

[DavidT]

Hello,

I am having trouble in finding a way to read the timestamp (which is in string format) from a data file and converting this to a number in order to create a plot.
I have included a sample file for this. I wish to plot Drag vd Time, however, when I retrieve the timestamp data, I only get the first number from the timestamp. I dont have problems retrieving the drag data.
Can anyone suggest a method in which to retrieve the timestamp data in order to plot against Drag. (Doesnt matter if its relative or absolute time)

thanks in advance

Hi DavidT,

I build a sample VI which extracts and calculates the relative time in ms. Its quick and dirty but it might help you to solve your problem.
