Cannot Find the "New Report VI" in LabVIEW

Hi, I am trying to follow this tutorial below but it uses something called "New Report.VI" which I do not have. Is it something I am missing? I only see the "Create Report.VI" which is not the same it seems. I have tried searching for it but it only comes up with the things seen in the second picture. If anyone can help me it would be very much appreciated. All I am trying to do is have two pieces of data (temperature and voltage) that are wired into a 2d build array, and then the array is then written into an excel file. So I have two columns in excel with all of my data points for temperature and voltage.

One of the important things to tell us is what version of LabVIEW you are running.  Of course, if you attached the VI that is not working, we can figure out the LabVIEW version for ourselves.  At some point (probably around LabVIEW 2015), the Report Generation Toolkit underwent a change, and the former "Create Report" VI was recoded and became "New Report".  So "Create Report" is the (now-obsolete, I mean "Deprocated") version of New Report.

Then, as I explained, "Create Report" has been removed from LabVIEW 2018 and has been replaced by "New Report".  You are (obviously) getting your Example from old code (perhaps you are using the "Revised "Generate Excel Report" Example" (the two sets of quotes are because the name of the Post had "Generate Excel Report" in Quotes) that was posted in this Forum on 14 Jan 2014 and coded in the "latest version of LabVIEW at that time", LabVIEW 2013.  While I can personally recommend this example, the Original Poster was not able to "predict the future" and use the not-yet-released "New Report" function in this five-year-old example.  Go yell at him/her.
