Is there anyway to read alpha-numeric data from spreadsheets?

[FightOnSCTrojan]

I am not only talking about headers, but entire columns of text data. I need find a way to read from a .xls file that contains both text and numbers and display it on screen, in a table.

Hi,
you should use activeX to read from XLS spreadsheet.

You can find here an example:

Good luck,

Alberto

Your best bet is to use the Scan String function, using the string format. This is compatible with the C++ "scanf" function. You can parse the data any way you like.

By the way, I haven't heard the rest of the story on your positioning servo contoller. How's the PWM circuit working out?
