Viewing Data in real-time with excel

Currently I am using labview to output the data into an excel spreadsheet.  Is there someway that I can have the data output with the spreadsheet open so I can see the results as the data is returned?  Currently I am typically doing experiments with sample intervals of 5 seconds and a total time of 300 seconds.
 
Any Ideas, or am I missing something fairly obvious?  I am rather new to LabView.
 
Thanks

Are you using the report generation toolkit?  This is fairly easy but the answer depends on how you're writing to excel.

Can you post some code so we can take a look?  Or explain more of what you've tried thus far?

I am using the box diagrams, not actual code, with labview 8.0.  I could post the file on the web but I do not know how to get a code representation of it.  Like I said I'm new to labview and have only used the tutorials and How-To book to make the program.
 
 
Thanks,
Chris

The BLOCK diagram is the actual code. Exactly what functions are you using to write to Excel?
