Hi, i am making a making a vi for a structural health monitoring system. I am exporting the resulting vi in the form of a report in excel and want to display the time(which i have got for the xaxis in the temperature graph) on the exported graph as well. Is there a way one can do it? i am using LabVIEW 2009.

Hi wond3rboy!
Please take a look to this example, I believe that's what you're trying to accomplish

Now if you want to GRAPH your data against time in excel you will need to change the example slightly.
The example writes timestamp as a string. Excel then treats it as a string and not as a time. Use "Time to XL.vi" availabe for download here, to convert a LabVIEW Time Stamp into the native time format for Excel. when you first open the woorkbook time will look like a floating point number (because it is) just set the cell format to any convienient date or time format and it will display as a time or date
