How to build array from discrete event cases

[enthusiastic]

Hi,

New to Labview so apologies if the wording of my question seems simplistic or not clear, if anyone feels they can help but needs further clarity on my issue please let me know.

I am trying to create a user interface for a test lab environment, where the operator will select specific options or input data. I then want these options and data to be recorded and written to spreadsheet or text file so that the information can be reviewed to find out who did what, when and for how long. The intention is this will constantly run and return the operator back to Page 1 to choose the same or different activity. 

I feel ok with creating the events etc and writing to either spreadsheet or text file and I know my block diagram needs tidied up but that isn't my issue. My issue is that when the cases aren't active they send default values and my output file is full of blanks and the data I want is on multiple rows. What I get is shown in the attached .txt file. Above the dashed line is what I get but what I want (manually typed into .txt file for explanation purposes) is below the dashed line. 

Hopefully someone out there can help, and if there are any other useful pointers please let me know. Fingers crossed. 

Enthusiastic but learning

Saving back to an LV16, 17 or 18 will get you more traffic.

What I would do is use a Shift Register to hold the values in the array.  Then you just have to replace (Replace Array Subset) the value(s) you need updated.
