I need to move the data from several cells in an excel spreadsheet to another computer's excel spreadsheet.

I have a data aquisition program on computer #1(not labview)  that writes to an excel spread sheet and I would like to have a row of data transfered to another excel spreadsheet running labview(computer #2)on the same network. I would like to make this transfer of data either over the network or some other method to link these two computers (they are two feet apart). I'm not sure that datasocket would help , as it seems that the data to be moved must be written for datasocket in labview.  My other alternative is to write drivers for the device that provides the data for computer #1. This is a new one for me as the user doesn't want to give up the non-labview program on #1.

Hi dadburnet,

you can provide the folder where program #1 stores the file, and copy it to computer #2. There you can work with it.

Hope it helps.

I would write a LabVIEW VI to read the Excel file(s) on computer n°1 and publish the data in a shared variable over the network.
