Fixed example of 'Generate an Excel report'

I recently answered a question posed by a user of the Forum on an error occurred when you try to generate an Excel file with the report generation tool.  I thought that the code example he used was 'unusual' and too complex and just discovered that he was, in fact, the sample report template (Excel) 2013 'Generate' LabVIEW.

In the spirit of trying to demonstrate it's nice "easy Excel' recent functions, I have rewritten this example and set here.  In doing so, I discovered (and reported to the NC) a "bug/feature" of the Excel function insert Graph.  One of its parameters allows you to position the chart by specifying the left and top edges (left would be the Excel column, would be the Excel line).  The only problem is that the parameters are reversed - to put the graphic on line 1, column G, you specify (0, 6), (6, 0).  Oops...

Oops, I have attached an earlier version of the demo, which has no Documentation and has not been "cleaned".  Use this instead (sorry about that - I forgot to hit "Save" I just changed the VI).

  • Reports that generate output Excel do not open under ie8/Oracle Forms

    Hello

    We run Oracle Forms (no matter whether under Jinitiator 1.3.1.22 (28) or SUN's JVM) and generate output Excel with Oracle Reports (web.show_document). This works well in Internet Explorer 6 (ie6), but not in Internet Explorer 8 (ie8).

    The effect is that a new browser window opens and closes very quickly, without anything more happening.

    Honestly, I guess it doesn't have to do with oracle reports, but ask this, however, in this forum, because it could be people who have made the same experiences...

    In addition, I discovered that the same problem exists when gerenating excel or ms word via a db (with http modules) procedure output. There, I found this deletion of the issue (open/save/cancel) before opening a file (via the menu windows Explorer file type association) helped with excel and ms word output (but this can be regarded as an unsatisfactory workaround).

    The problem persists with the types of applications other than XLS or DOC files that are also properly registered on the client.

    I'm not sure whether mimetypes sent as files (which were obviously OK with ie6) play a role in this problem.

    Hello

    Your problem with IE 8 seems to be similar to the one discussed here:

    IE7 windows opens and closes immediately

    t_Explorer/Q_23304982.html

    You can test the suggested solution:

    We found the framework we needed, in the Internet Options
    Security tab, if you select the internet zone, then click Custom level
    button, then scroll down to the downloads section, the first option is
    Ask confirmation for file downloads, set this to allow Guard IE 7
    to interfere with this kind of download.

  • HowTo generate by ESX report alarms?

    Hi all

    I use vFoglight v6.1 pro to monitor my VMware Lab Manager environment.

    It is needless to mention that I get tons of alerts several types.

    As part of my effort to reduce the amount of alerts vFoglight, I disabled a lot of alerts under Administration--> rules Admin &--> manage rules.

    I left only referring to my ESX memory alerts | swap | CPU which gives me more visibility of the State of my environment.

    The thing is I'm having a problem generating a statistical report that will give me specific information on how alertsI have on each of my ESX hosts by type.

    I need an easy way to show more of memory or cpu required and prove the increase of resources actually solved the problem.

    This must be done through vfoglight level reporting.

    I'll be happy to get assistance to each and every one of you, if you know the inner workings of the vfoglights.

    Thank you very much

    Nissim.

    Here are a few steps you can try:

    Navigate to the home alarms

    In the upper right corner of the dashboard alarms, set the time interval, you are interested. For example "7 d" for 7 days.

    To the right of the table of alarms in half the dashboard lower alarms, click on "filter alarm.

    In the field "Origin" on the popup filter, type in "VMW ESX" (this will filter the alarms for ESX most of alarms)

    The results of all ESX alarms for the last 7 days will be displayed, use the error Instances see the breakdown of the alarms tab how by host, but also the history of the health of these hosts in the selected time interval

    Use the Customizer button to export the alarms to Excel, and select export (it's the last option when you click the customizer, screenshot see attached)

    However, if I turn off the 'Enable Document Caching' option in the reports node, the excel report is getting generated. The problem is solved now, but I'm trying to understand what it is and how to turn off the cache it is resolved.

    If anyone has faced this problem before and knows the reason - please let me know

    If the cache of the doc, just that it puts the document cache. I guess there could be a problem with the caching of files Excel. Have to admit that I can't reproduce it. Turn on cache and advertisement unceasingly the Excel (or other type) are not a failure.
    Ahh just noticed you have a XSL - FO model, can you share some data and it so I test and may log a bug?

  • excellent report generation does not close Excel

    I use the excel Report Builder to save test reports.  I can create the report using a template and writing if necessary without any problem.  After each test step, I add data and save the report.  I continue to Excel closed using the modification of the parameter of the State of the window.  I don't want the user to see Excel or even know it is there.

    The question is, when I'm done test and use features, report vi, it leaves an open excel instance that you see in the Task Manager.  And the only way to close that instance is to open one of the files that was created and close it and then exit excel.  The memory used by this instance develops a little every time that a new file is created.

    LabVIEW 2011 SP1 (32-bit 11.0.1.F2)

    Excel 2007

    How can I close excel completely after each test?

    You're just sorry.  Attached is an improved version which works, but again not sure if there is a better way.

    This will get the HWND before disposing of it, has it as usual, then given the HWND get PID (it was the bad terminal last time) and then kill based on that.  It seems to work and I tested this time.

  • conversion of the error of date / time when using easy excel reports

    I export a 2D array to an excel file using Excel reports easy vi. I have no problem with that. My data has a number of areas with different formats (text and date/time). My problem is the following:

    * some (in other words, not all data is in the same worksheet) the veiled values of date/time to mm/dd/yyyy format whereas they should be in mm/dd/yyyy (is the excel format it is y in!). Essentially, I have 30/09/2008 (September 30, 2008) in a cell. After ticks on Oct. 1, it will display the date as, 01/10/2008. Excel thinks that this date is in the format dd/mm/yyyy.

    This is a known error in earlier versions of Excel (2002), in particular when you convert a .csv, .xls file. The solution, it was not to add "Local: = True ' at the end of the vba command string (see here: MS Knowledge Base). Here, in LabView I'm not sure how to proceed.

    I tried to change the format of the column in question to the 'text' by calling an Excel Macro in LabView, but do you think I can find the vba command to do? No, not so much.

    LabView saves the Excel file in 97-2003 format (I use MSOffice 2007) and I wonder if the version they are using does not consider the time correction, as described in the knowledge base (or if it applies).

    Any suggestions, I'd love to hear from you.

    Kind regards

    David.

    Hi LaRisa,.

    I was able to find the cell Format Excel set vi and successfully change the format of the value of the cell. It wasn't until I had found the vi that I realized that I've been down this road before. Change the format after the table has been created does not change values dd and mm switching that has already occurred. However, if I did before I "created the table" (or vi Excel table) and set the format to be '@' then it displays the string like 'Text' in the Excel file. That's nice. I can control what cell, row, or column to format now. If I want to be in a date format then I must apply the Format of cell vi after the easy Excel table vi.

    It sounds like a stupid race around me...

    Void DeleteRows (intTopRow As String, intLastRow As Integer)
    Range (cells (intTopRow, 1), (intLastRow, 1)). EntireRow.Delete xlShiftUp
