How to read formatting excel worksheet as an array of strings
I use the report tool to read an excel spreadsheet in an array of strings of LV. It works fine except that it reads the precision of digital cells (~ 10 digits of precision).
In my workbook I have displayed accuracy the value 2. Is it possible to read the table such that it is displayed instead of the way it is stored internally? (BTW, I understand how to do this)
manually by parsing the string array and limit myself to the accuracy but would prefer to use excel itself to determine accuracy)
sachsm,
This should allow you to get the text from a cell or a range of cells. Sort of do a "paste special" 'values '.

Is it necessary to be an Excel file or you use Excel to open the file? If there must be Excel, then you may need to use her Active X (for example you can find in this forum), otherwise just save it as a csv file and use the worksheet vi reading with ',' as the separator.

When you use the Table add to report vi (range of functions > programming > report generation > Append Table to Report.vi) wire you a string constant to specify the point in which excel inserts data (MS Office settings). It is pretty straight forward, just set the numbers of rows and columns. But, how you re to receive a mathematical situation. In other words, for example, at the first iteration push a rows in the table five three row upward and then each iteration of insertion in multiples of five?
What I'm doing is building a worksheet excel with an x / y graph whenever the chart is updated.
Hey Dennis,
I've attached a screenshot of a section of code that should do the trick.

How to read an Excel - Report Generation Toolkit cell widths
Hello
When I use the 'add table to declare' or the "Excel easy table" screws to insert data to a model excel file then LabVIEW changes the width of the columns. It is very annoying because I have to inject data into a file template provided by the Subscriber.
I can't use VI "simple text" (which preserves the width of the cell) because this VI is very slow.
Y at - it something like "Queries cell width" vi. I can check the width of the original columns, then after I dumped the data I can restore the widths?
THX.
Hi, 1984
you're right, that Append table report will change the width of the column, according to what is specified on the column width and the system of measurement for the width of column entries. However if you set the width of column-1 than cells in model of is not changed.
To answer your question, there is no specific VI which will give you the width of excel cell, but you can use the activeX calls and information. If you open the Excel function, you can see how these Excel ActiveX calls are made.
I hope that answers your question.

How not to use formatting on a worksheet of the Array function string?
Hello
I'm trying to convert a string of csv containing a cluster in a string array as part of a definition of profile for temperature/humidity chambers. I don't want to just format the output array because the values are not the same type. Can I use an empty string over the terminal of formatting? I have attached the VI. I also saw a few wiz bang csv read/write of things, but it's a school project so I can't use the code.
Thank you
Simon
Just use %s as your format string.
Do not use table of cluster and then ungroup cluster. This is a hack, a Rube Goldberg. Just use Index Array. It's resizable down in order to get successive indices.

How to read an excel file .xls to a forms 6i
Hello
I have forms6i and webutil don't works with this version, I can read a forms6i excel file.
Thank youIf it's a web application, you might do the following:
Download the file from the client to the application server, there is a FileUpload-bean in the sample forms.
Write an ontop of some excel library such as Apache POI-RICH or JExcelApi java program to extract the necessary data.
Use the importer-Forms-Java (I'm not sure, but it should be already there in forms 6i) to create a PL/SQL-wrapper around the java code. Now you can use pure PL/SQL for reading excel fields and process the results.

How can I hilight a section of an array of strings?
I have a VI that displays an array of strings. The display is about 20 high of 20 channels of wide channels, while the berries in it are much more important. I compare two files to find the differences. When differences are found, I want to somehow hilight or focus on the block or the string that is different. Is there a way to do this? Is there a way I can visually hilight part of my array of strings? I looked through the nodes of different property, but could not find something for this.
Thanks for the help,
Jeremy Backer
Hi JMBacker,
I don't know if tables can highlight a particular section.
But you could do a thing.
Display table in a table, and then display the background color of these special cells where the differences lie.

How to copy an excel worksheet in a different workbook?
Found a solution.
CA_VariantSetObjHandle (& sheet1, WorkSheetHandle2, CAVT_DISPATCH);
Excel_WorksheetCopy (WorkSheetHandle1, NULL, CA_DEFAULT_VAL, Sheet1);It seems to work.
But now I can not get the Excel.exe quit smoking.
I throw all the CAObjHandles and call this "ExcelRpt_ApplicationQuit (AppHandle)" before you throw the handle of the App.

How to display '-1' with a table not formatted (Excel spreadsheet) in InDesign
Hello!
If you place a table not formatted (Excel spreadsheet) in the cells of InDesign with '-1' are not displayed :-(
The Adobe solution is to use the tables formatted, but that is no option for us, because if the numbers in the excel worksheet updated, InDesign loses real formatting and rebuilt the Excel formatting :/
The problem is understandable for Adobe, but we didn't have the suspicion to ask in the forum for a solution.
I think the problem is the operating system and independent version of InDesign - we everywhere (Windows 7,8,10) and Mac OS X, CS6 CC problem - there is a bug/feature in constand.
Does anyone have a solution or a solution to our problem? :-)
Thank you in advance!
Ludwig
In Excel, you must precede the - 1 with an apostrophe (so '-1). As you probably know, this is unnecessary with other negative numbers... If I remember correctly.
It is not sufficient for formatting just these cells as text in Excel, the apostrophe is necessary.

How can I load to the top of some adobe Reader format on my iPad in my cloud of Adobe Creative?
There is no downloading files from an iPad app in the cloud of Adobe creative, and the iPad security model does not allow for the downloading of files from the browser. To touch Adobe applications provide synchronization until the creative cloud but none of them are really designed to work with pdf files.
You can connect your iPad and move the files to your computer. From your computer, you can download files via a web browser.

I have data to the basic generic text file format that must be converted into Excel spreadsheet format. The data are much longer than 65536 rows and in my code, I was not able to find a way to see the data in the next column. Currently, the conversion is done manually and generates an Excel file which has a total of 30-40 complete columns of data. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Darrick
Here is a possible solution to the (potential) problem. Convert an array of strings and erase the data before writing to the file
