rows and column customization in a table

[Sahan@123]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to display calculated load values on the GUI, I need to customize the table rows as attached in the picture.

1.mainly i need to know how to merge any 2 rows in a table indicator?

2.How to create 3 coulmns inside a single row?

for example, In the below screenshot as per the requirement i need to merge 2nd,3rd,4th column for displaying Load1 similarly 5th,6th and 7th column to display Load2

Can anyone help on this?

In a LabVIEW array or table indicator you cannot merge rows/columns/cells as you are used to from MSExcel!

• When your display is fixed/static (like your image showing 6 numeric values formatted strings and 3 plain strings) then you could create a cluster from several elements. You can change their properties, like border/background colors…
• When the display should be more dynamic you need to think about using MCLBs (multicolumn listboxes), they offer a lot of properties to change their visual appearance!

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. I understand your points but is there any possible ways in mulitcolumn listbox to combine any rows/olumn? or any other labview feature which does this?

Also the data inside the table are not static , i need to display the calculated load values measured from different instuments under each frequencies.

Do you have any idea on this?

No.

(You may use properties like background color to mark related cells, but again: you cannot merge cells like you do in Excel…)

You can update the shown values in any kind of indicator, no matter if array, table or MCLB…

Of course you could use a 2D picture indicator and (with a little bit of code!)  have full controls over lines, rectangles and text. 😄
