Hello! I would like your help in a problem like how to solve the attached VI so that the string "A" is placed in a specified cell, for example in cell B1, while the string "B" is in C3?

There is an example comes with LabVIEW: Excel - Write Table.vi

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2xxx\examples\Connectivity\Excel\Excel - Write Table.vi

To do "complicated" things with the Report Generator Toolkit, use the "Excel Easy <Whatever>" rather than the "Append <Whatever> to Report". I recommend searching in this Forum for the article called Revised "Generate Excel Report" Example. It was posted here eight years ago (and a few of the RGT functions have slightly-changed names) but it shows how to put together a Report with various pieces in various locations.

Thanks for your help, "Excel Easy Table" works perfectly fine.
Couldn't the column width be specified somehow in this VI?

How about "Excel Set Cell Dimension" in the Excel Format sub-Palette?
