Real-time Data in excel

[MechEChris]

Sorry this is my second post on the subject but the other seems to have been shuffled down before I got a chance to post the code.  I am trying to view data in real time using excel.  I am not using the report generation toolkit and am having trouble figuring this out.  (I am relatively new to labview).  Below is a link to my code if anyone has a chance to look at it and give a suggestion or two I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

First, let me point out that you are not using Excel. You are creating a text file with tab separated data and giving it an .xls extension. Excel will automatically open aand convert this file for you. You could put a table on the front panel and display the results there. A table is a 2D string array and you could convert the 2D numerical array to that with just a Number to Fractional String function. You could also actually use Excel native format. There is a shipping example called Write Table to Excel. This opens Excel and writes to it.
