Read excel cell when excel is already open

Hello

I want to read a specific cell of a spreadsheet with excel already open. LabVIEW has only to read the cell and can't open excel.

I have several examples that show:

  1. Labvview open excel

  2. Select excel file

  3. Select the workbook

  4. Select Sheet

  5. Select the cell

  6. read the cell

  7. close the workbook

  8. close excel

In my vi I only need 3 to 6 step

Thanks for your help

Djamel

The joint vi (LabVIEW 2012) will return the value in cell "A1" "Sheet1" of the already opened excel workbook "Book1".

Change the values for your specific names in the workbook and worksheet and of cells needed.

The value returned is a Variant needs to be converted with 'Variant to data' according to the type of data

  • Does not work by clicking the shortcut of Firefox to specific profile when it is already open. What Miss me?

    Well, it's a difficult problem to describe in one sentence.

    I am currently using windows. I have 2 Firefox profiles, and all of them have desktop shortcuts to the:
    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla '-no-remote Pei"Developer ".
    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla '-no-remote Pei"lazy ".

    They work very well. The thing is: If the profile is already active and I click on the shortcut, I get the error "Firefox is already running but not responding do not ' (fails just Firefox to open. The current open window still works). The behavior I want is either maximize/orientation of the corresponding window, or open a new window with the same profile. Is it possible to do this? What Miss me?

    I don't know if I'm being clear. In other words:
    -Shortcut to a specific profile works very well
    -When the profile is opened, double-click the shortcut for the office even
    -Receive an error popup "Existing Firefox to run"
    -Press ok, the current profile still works, but new window opens as expected

    You can't open a link if you use the - No.-line of remote control switch.
    You will need to start a profile without the - non-interrupteur to distance.
    Then you can open external links in this instance of profile (but not in the other).

  • 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!

    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.

  • 5 - file already opened it occurs without open instance of Excel.

    Questions about my particular problem have been published several times and I've studied all.  But this problem is slightly different from what I found on the forum.  This issue I'm fighting for the past two weeks and I can't seem to find a solution for this; Therefore, I turn to you in the hope that someone with more experience can point me in the right direction.

    I get the error code 5 - file already open in my application.  I know that the most common answer, a reference has not been closed, but I checked and all references seem to be closed.  The attached error code.VI is not my request, but a simple file that I created after that error code 5 came the routine I/O.  The screenshot shows Manager tack;  even if you do not see the entire list, Excel appears in it, but it shows that the particular .xls document I am trying to open is already open.  This is where my problem differs from anything else I've read.  Here is the head of scrather, I still get this error even after killing Excel using the Exec.VI system.  The instance of Excel is clearly removed from the task list, but still the error gets generated by writing in the File.VI worksheet.  The second channel indicator shows the content of the list of tasks for your viewing.  I can't find an instance open Excel anywhere, so I don't know why LV thinks that the file is already open when it is not.  There must be a reference open so he can think about it, but why does it not appear in Manager tasks?  The .zip file contains my VI as well as screws.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

    I found the problem.  The narrow reference does not work with attachments in .NET objects.  In the Invoke to AttachmentCollection node, a method called "Features" that kills the reference created with the purpose of file name there. I've also attached the VI.

  • Internet Explorer 9 is having conflicts with Office 2007. When IE 9 is open, I can't copy or paste in Word and Excel.

    Internet Explorer 9 is having conflicts with Office 2007. When IE 9 is open, I can't copy or paste in Excel, Word, PPT correctly. The format does not.  I can not format painter at all. It is a recent behavior, since he did not like that 3 weeks ago.

    If I close IE 9, Office programs work perfect.  So everything indicates that a compatibility issue with Office 2007 is present when Internet Explorer is opened.

    I can't associate the recent behavior with any recent download that could create conflict, but perhaps he started after an automatic update of Windows.

  • How to check if an Excel Application is open, and if so to close before running a labview VI

    Hi all

    I have a VI that takes measures and store them in one worksheet Excel after a few digital manipulations. I was very careful to close whatever it is in the correct order before making a "Quit Application" at the end of the Labview VI

    The VI works well and as many times as we want as long as no Excel application has been left open (open hand to check the data for example) before running the labview VI.

    So currently, I have to be careful that no Excel application is open before starting the VI.

    Someone can tell me how my Labview VI can detect (at startup) If an Excel application is already open, and then close in case Yes?

    Thank you

  • When I try to open Firefox it says it is already running... I tried to uninstall, but it says it works... but it's not.

    It will not only open when I try to open... it says, he is already running, but is not. I tried to uninstall it, but it won't uninstall, because he says that the program is running.

    These questions can also be caused if the profile is set as default (default = 1) in the profiles.ini profile is missing.

    One possible cause is a discount action zero who has failed somehow to supplement and update the profiles.ini file correctly.

    Firefox crashes when you close

  • Then, Firefox crashes when I try to reopen, I get a message saying that it is already open and must be closed. It is not open and I can't shut it down and have to restart. It is very annoying, as often happens.

    Firefox closes unexpectedly so when I try to open it I get a message saying that it is already open and I first need to close. I can't find it anywhere open and then I have to restart to open Firefox again.

    See "hang out":

  • When you try to start Firefox I get a message saying "a copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time. "I started a new profile, but the Profile Manager always tells me that by default it is still in use.

    When you try to start Firefox, even once, I got a message saying "close Firefox. A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time. "This issue is addressed in Mozillazine but nothing I've tried there seems to work. I started a new profile in the profile manager that gets at least upwards and the functioning, but strangely enough the Manager also told me the old (default) profile is still underway, although I can't find a way to close it. Also, I can't find the default profile in my Profile Manager. can anyone help?

    This has happened

    Just once or twice

    == I thought that I had left Firefox and he was new.

    I get the same problem from time to time. It is not a solution but I go into Task Manager (select by right clicking on an empty area of the start bar) and under the research process and, invariably, there is a 'hidden' version to use the FF. I selects & close via Task Manager and then am able to restart FF.
