I tried LV2012, 2014 and 2015 with Office 2010 and the result is as expected (only 2 columns). Using Windows 7 pro

I am using LV 2011 on word 2013, do you think it is a version issue?

Turns out, after doing a small amount of research, it is possible to add a chart to a Word document (using the code below) but the method for editing the dataset (in an Excel worksheet) is not available.  Are you required to use Word?  If not, I suggest to use Excel and the method above.  If Word is required, you can use the Excel method above, save a picture of the chart and load that into your Word document.

Can you please post in LV 2011 version? I can't find the InlineShapes property node.

Secondly, yes, I am limited to use WORD as I have to add other items to my report as well, graphs are just 1 part of the report

That VI is on the RGT pallete -> Word Specific -> Advanced -> Word Get ActiveX References.

This is not version specific.  I have LV2011 installed and I get the expected output with Word 2010.  

[LV_Enthu]

you have Word 2010, I have word 2013.

Those versions are not compatibile. See link below

Could be because according this Report Generation Toolkit Compatibility with Microsoft Office and LabVIEW http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/C9408B9F08D711E786256F3300701D01
--LabVIEW (Report Generation Toolkit) 2010 supports Microsoft Office XP, 2003, 2007, 2010 and Not "2013"

oh no!! that's a bummer... what could i do now?

Either downgrade MS Office or Upgrade LabVIEW to 2014 which supports Office 2013.

Unfortunately, I can't do either of them, as almost all my work is done in LabVIEW 2011, and the company won't fund it. 

Similarly, the policy is to use Office 2013
