How do I use an already existing Excel workbook as an input to my report?

asukumari · ‎12-10-2019

I would like to use the Report generation toolkit VIs to format certain cells of an already existing workbook. The following snippet is from the NI 2019 examples. I would like to give the path of an already existing excel file to this. How can I do that?

- NI PXIe-PCIe8381,x8 Gen2 MXI-Express for PXI Express Interface,3m, Part Number: 782522-01

Sorry guys, never mind I think I got it. Passing the path of the existing excel file as template does the job.
