Opening Spreadsheet files in LabView

[Wayne@Intel]

I'm attempting to read spreadsheet files into a LV application. Spreadsheet files that were not written in LV contain garbled data. Similar to wingdings. Spreadsheet files that were written/saved in LV open without wingdings in the format that it was saved.

Textfiles open fine in the same application regardless of where it was written. *ALL FILES ARE STRING*

How can I succesfully read non-LV created files into a LV table without the wingdings?

I had the same problems.

The attached VI should help.  It reads a excel file and puts it into an array.  It also saves the data as a txt file which i find is alot easier to deal with in labview.
