read from spreadsheet file.vi with error wire has multiple sources

[Sisca]

Hi,

I'm quite new in Labview and I have a problem in using Read from Spreadsheet File.vi. I need to get the "all rows" output. It works fine when I use it in Labview 7. But when I use it in Labview 5, I cannot connect the "all rows" output to the function "reshape array". It shows error "wire: has multiple sources". Can you help me with that?

Thank you very much

Hi Sisca,

There's no reason you shouldn't be able to wire the "all rows" output of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi to the Reshape Array function.  My best guess is that you accidentally wired the input terminal of the Reshape Array function to itself, and the wire got hidden under the function.  Try pressing Ctrl-B to remove all bad wires from the diagram, then try rewiring the "all rows" output to the function.  This should work fine.  If it doesn't you may want to attach a simple VI that demonstrates the problem.

Good luck,

-D

Hi Darren,
That's what I think, too. I also found something strange. I can't use the all rows option in this file, but if I create a Read from Spreadsheet File.vi in another file, together with the Reshape Array function and the wire, it works. So, I copy-paste them to my first file and it works. But if I delete the wire in my first file then reconnect them again, it doesn't work. I don't know what's the explanation, but I'm still relieved that it works :).
Thank you soooo much
