• Excel automation

  Hello

  I am trying to use the ActiveX Automation Excel server.  I got TestStand to run the excel application, however, when I try to create a new workbook, I get the following error:

  'Create the new object' call automation failed.
  Class not registered
  One of the possible reasons for this error is that the server can be a COM in-process 64-bit server. TestStand is a 32-bit process and Windows does not allow a mix of 32-bit code and 64-bit in the same process. TestStand can create objects from a COM server out-of-process 64-bit directly, but for 64-bit in-process COM servers, you must create the object in a 64-bit external process and pass in TestStand using an out-of-process server or a DLLSurrogate.

  Hello mcooblal,

  I took a quick glance to your movie file, and you're not properly access the workbook class. You must first get a reference to the workbooks property that returns a reference to the property of workbooks. Then, using the reference of workbooks, you can then get the workbooks class that has a method to add cabinets.

  Here is an example of good sequence that refers to these steps:

• TDM excel automation

  Hey there,

  I have a script that creates *. TOC files. The annoying part is that I have to right click on the file to be converted with the TDM EXCEL ADD INN and save it under the same name as the created every time *. TOC file.

  So, I tried to apply in my script but it doesn´t work.

  There a piece of code, I found here in the community, but in the line that says 'oComAddIn.connect = True' produces an error.

  Dim oExcel

  Dim oComAddIn

  Set oExcel = New

  For each oComAddIn in oExcel.COMAddIns

  If oComAddIn.ProgId = ExcelTDM.TDMAddin "Then" ""

  oComAddIn.connect = True

  Otherwise oComAddIn.Object IsNothingThen' use the interface of the object here

  On the other

  MsgBox "no object available interface! :-(. (("

  EndIf

  EndIf

  Next

  I m very grateful for all the help.

  After running the script, please take a look in the Windows Task Manager. Excel still works?

  If so, the following lines should close Excel at the end of the script:

  oExcel.Application.Quit
  
  Set oComAddIn = Nothing
  
  Set oExcel = Nothing

• Start TDM importer Excel automation index

  I'm trying to create a macro in excel to import and format data from a .tdm file.

  The files to import sometimes exceed the limit of 1 M in Excel line, when that happens, so I want to generate two workbooks. One of these binders to be generated from a starting index of 1 and the other must be generated from a beginning index of 1048576. Right now I use the silent mode to give a hint of departure of 1 and then again run the importer and enter 1048576 manually to the second workbook.

  My question is: is it possible to set the index of departure via a macro?

  I looked at using the sendkey command to generate the key sequence "tab tab 1048576 enter" required, but excel cannot interrupt the object call command to do this.

  Thank you very much

  I did a fairly complex treatment with DIAdem.  Your request is not a big deal to do in tiara.

  For maximum flexibility, you can take the references to the chain. As shown below in oChan01.  This will allow you to manage a channel such as a table. The limits of this approach is the speed, built-in functions are faster that approach and should be used as much as possible.   The chnfind command is an examle that is much faster to find a specific value in a channel.

  OptionExplicit'Forces the declaration explicitly all variables in a script.

  Dim oChan01, i, GPB, dVal

  define the GPB = data. Root.ChannelGroups ("EXAMPLE")

  Set oChan01 = oGrp.Channels ("Time")

  for i = 1 oChan01.Size

  dVal = oChan01 (2)

• How to get Automator to export a list of file names in an Excel workbook?

  I have a spreadsheet with all the file names of my Sibelius (.sib) scores without import/y attach files to a 2011 Excel workbook. I tried different ways to help automate it, but it seems to only be able to export .txt files in Excel. On some combinations, I tried, even lets link you to files that I'm not interested by - all I want is a list (editable preference) of my file names so that you can see them all in one area and check what I have / I do not have.

  I use Yosemite 10.10.5 (I don't want to upgrade to El Capitan due to driver compatibility issues) and Microsoft Office for Mac 2011.

  Any help would be appreciated

  I can't help you with Automator, but there is a solution.

  1. launch Firefox.

  2. drag the folder with the files in the Firefox window. (The example is a folder of image files)

  

  3 - Select all the entries on the page in Firefox:

  
  4 - Open Excel and paste it into a spreadsheet:

  

  5 - remove the size and last modified columns. To remove the links reformat the text column.

  

• Creation of Refnum Automation to Excel

  Hello

  So I've worked to read Excel documents with report generation tool, but realized the document I was trying to read is password protected and requires an update link (PivotTable).

  Searching I found an accessory useful toolkit Joe_H (post #2) http://forums.ni.com/t5/BreakPoint/Excel-Board/m-p/379682 . I try to recreate its VI, but there are some things I don't understand. (I started only working with refnums & variants)

  My Questions:

  1. referring to my 'refnum.png' attachment, black refum automation is copied from example VI and purple is what I tried to do. They have the same ActiveX class, but purple throws an exception error 3005. I can't find the refnum of the black arrow.

  Googling this error, gives a solution, but I can not understand how to use or if it applies to me. http://forums.NI.com/T5/LabVIEW/error-3005-occurred-at-Automation-open-using-ActiveX-RichText-box/TD-...

  2 referring to 'excel.png' for the node invoke - workbooks, how is a person knows how to use the data types variant? For example, WriteResPassword I just tried to use a string and it worked. I noticed that the help info gets thinner when working with property/Invoke nodes.

  Thanks for your time.

  I don't know why the difference in colors between the refnums, but I doubt that's the problem. Looks like it's just an artifact weird opening a VI from an earlier version of LabVIEW. If you convert this refnum control to a constant and then again to a control, it will turn pink, but I guess it will always work. Can you show the code showing you how you use this refnum?

  As mentioned nyc, you refer to the Microsoft documentation to determine what kind of data for wire entry variant. There is no documentation of LabVIEW because it is not a component of LabVIEW.

• Error of comparison while trying to round like Excel

  I have two different but related issues. First: my LabVIEW application is not passing validation of my client because the results in LabVIEW are not exactly the same as those that my customer buy when using MS Excel. The problem is with rounding: LabVIEW and Excel round numbers differently and (unfortunately) I have to round up the numbers in the way that Excel.

  Because I need to round up after the comma, I started using a beautiful VI I found here at ni.com called 'DecimalRoundingLV8.5vi'. However, due to the difference between LabVIEW and Excel, I can't use this VI as it is. For example, rounded to the third place after the comma:

  The number to round	LABVIEW	EXCEL
  0.0045	0.0040	0,0050

  So, my first question is this one, I need to round like Excel... However, the solution I implemented raised an odd question, and I don't know if I see a bug in LabVIEW.

  I changed the decimal rounded VI. Here is a picture of the code and I also enclose it:

  

  First of all, if the number is negative I change into a positive for rounding. In the end, I return the sign.

  Like the original VI, I multiply the number to round up times 10 ^ x, where x is the place after the decimal point, I would like to turn to, I'm rounding and then dividing by 10 ^ x.

  However, I also multiply the number of round 10 ^(x+1) time and divide the result by 10 to get the unit as the reminder and to evaluate this number. If the number is less than 5, I tour as usual; If not, round towards + infinity.

  So far, so good and everything seems to be fantastic. But when I tested this code I found the following bizarre scenario. For example, rounded to the third place after the comma:

  The number to round	LABVIEW	EXCEL
  0.0855	0.0860	0.0860
  0.0856	0.0860	0.0860
  0,0857	0.0860	0.0860
  0.0858	0.0860	0.0860
  0.0859	0.0860	0.0860
  0.0860	0.0860	0.0860
  0.0861	0.0860	0.0860
  0.0862	0.0860	0.0860
  0.0863	0.0860	0.0860
  0.0864	0.0860	0.0860
  0,0865	0.0860	0.0870
  0,0866	0.0870	0.0870
  0,0867	0.0870	0.0870
  0,0868	0.0870	0.0870
  0.0869	0.0870	0.0870
  0.0870	0.0870	0.0870
  0.0871	0.0870	0.0870
  0.0872	0.0870	0.0870
  0.0873	0.0870	0.0870
  0,0874	0.0870	0.0870
  0,0875	0.0880	0.0880

  Note When the flare 0,0865. LabVIEW is wrong! However, LabVIEW was not wrong for 0.0855 or 0,0875. When I ran the code using the highlight feature, it turns out that the problem was the comparison function. It is said literally than 5<5 is="">.

  I tested in LabVIEW 8.2 and LabVIEW 12. I use Windows XP SP3.

  These numbers are not the only cases with this weird behavior. Other numbers are 0.1425, 0.1725 0.1745 and more. I don't see a drawing (or a reason!)

  Can someone please test my code and report if you met the same behavior?

  Enrique,

  It is a fundamental issue with the help of the binary representation over for numbers.  Event that you post and think that numbers like decimal representations, the computer stores in a binary format.  As 0.0045 or 0.004 number can be represented in binary format used by LabVIEW.  Place a digital control on a new VI. Set the display format to show ~ 20 significant digits.  Type in 0.004 or 0.0045 hit and hit enter.

  0.0045-> 0.0044999999999999996600

  The correct rounding for this value is 0.004.  Of course typing 0.004 gives 0.004000000000000000080.

  I don't have Excel so I don't know what it does, but it will have the same problem with approximate representations of numbers.

  There are a lot of posts on the Forums about number representation.

  In addition, the reason that the exact equality comparisons on the non-entier data types should be avoided or used with caution.

• Automation of several scanned page PDF export to Excel

  We have MANY PDF files scanned at work (about 8 400) that we need to export to Excel. There are a few tricky parts to what I'm trying to find out if there is a way to automate this. These are all individual PDF files, but I know that I could convert them all to a multipage PDF, if I need to, that shouldn't be a problem. The major problem being that we want only a small part of all files PDF, the upper left corner that has some basic information (name and address) to be exported to an Excel worksheet. The rest of the PDF file is not required. If that helps anything on the automation of formatting are simple page PDF. Anyone know if this is possible?

  I asked this in the PDF forum, but someone suggested to ask in the forum of java script instead.

  It can be done, most likely, but it would be a custom script to extract the text from the desired coordinates and then export it to a format that can be read using Excel (for example, a text file delimited by tabs). This is not a simple task, however.

  Hello

  as I tried to connect to the TOC (see code below), I got the message that he need permission from the admin

  Set obj = Application.COMAddIns.Item ("ExcelTDM.TDMAddin")

  Is it really necessary to have the authorization of the Admin?

  Thank you

  Hello Manu,

  as you can see here, you need start Excel in administrator mode once after the installation of the TDM Excel Add-In:

• Automation of exit Excel and 'recording' default directory

  Hello
  
  I searched the forum for an answer, but could not find a complete solution.
  
  User at the bottom of a report, he can click a button and it would be:
  Save in Excel format in a default directory automatically.
  
  For example, it would be saved under C:\Saved Reports\data_for_word_fusion.xls
  
  How can I do?
  
  Thank you.

  Two things: one that is NOT a TRUE Excel file, it is something closer than the CSV file, but if you open in a text editor, it's an HTML file in the format element. Two: Each browser will allow you a latitude for downloads and more, but there is NO real way to FORCE a user to upload a file to a predefined directory, it would cause too many questions...

  Thank you

• Run a macro in Excel to an open workbook?

  Hi all

  I am relatively new to View Lab and Lab VIEW forums.  I searched the forums and the knowledge base with results which doesn't really answer my question.  I download each LV/Excel example and llb I find... dug through them and tried to familiarize myself with the LV/Excel relationship with marginal results.

  Basically, what I'm trying to do is to run an Excel macro in a workbook that is already open and run all of the examples I found... force you to open the Excel workbook, which is problematic if the workbook is already open.  I have a VI that you open my workbook and run the macro I specified, but when I try to remove the "open" part it blows upward.

  I pulled the "Excel Macro Example.VI" finder OR example, who once again does not work if the workbook is already open.  It seems to me that the main problem is that there is not another option another "Automation Open.VI" I do not have the reports of the Toolkit, so maybe it's the question... do not know since I do not know what it contains.

  I have attached one who opens my sheet and runs the macro (excel_run_macro.vi).  I would be very grateful if someone who understands the links between the LV and Excel take a look and possibly direct me in the general direction of the macro execution without trying to open Excel again.

  Thank you!

  Chad

  the problem is that you keep trying to open the workbook when it is already open. in the attached code, you will find that I am looking to see if the workbook is open. If it is then I put it is the active workbook and run the macro. If it isn't then I open and then run the macro.

  Try the code below and see if it works for you. You will hace to ensure that all references are closed and comparison feature works for you. I just hacked this together as a proof of concept for you.
