Fix "Write to spreadsheet.vi"

Status: Declined

Any idea that has not received any kudos within a year after posting will be automatically declined. 

Add "Calculate Statistics" Enum to "Write to Spreadsheet file"

 

<Bye row,  Bye Col, Bye table,  Bye both Row and Col...>

 

The staticistics are nice to know... and certainly can be calculated from the 1D or 2D data input to "Write to spreadsheet.vi"

 

We just need an enum to add the evaluation of the datapoints.

Jeff,

 

Can you add more detail to this?  What kind of statistics are you looking for?  Count of data points, average, standard deviation?

Darin would be happy to hear me say this - don't overcomplicate the function. It writes a table or vector to a file. Let it do that and process the data separately if that's what you want. If anything needs to be fixed about it it's the connector pane and the internal error handling, as suggested here - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Revision-of-many-VIs-written-by-NI-usage-of-the-error-...

 

I would even take it further by getting rid of the 1D input (as I have, in fact, in my version), but that's a matter of use cases.

I could not have said it better myself, at least not much better. This VI has one job, and as suggested it could still use some work with that one.  A polymorphic VI(s) for statistics of 2D arrays (by row or by column) could be useful.

I agree- don't complicate it. However I'm not sure I'm understanding what the suggestion is, so if you can clarify, Jeff?
