Write to spreadsheet without prompting each time through a loop

[RTSLVU]

I think I might have confused you when I said "array to spreadsheet vi".

What I meant was to stay with the "write to spreadsheet file vi" that you were already using but try the %s format string

That works to an extent but not fully. The readout becomes something like: 0.00000744.237301128.000000 which when split up is 7e-6, 44.23, and 128.0 So I guess my next question is do I have to change to formatting differently instead of the delimeter %s to format in such a way that the first number carries more than those 6 digits before the actual number? In other words it should read out something like 7.19e-6 or with all of the 0's in front instead of cutting off at the first digit of 7.

With the small numbers yo uare working with I would (and gennerally always do) use Double-precision floating-point numbers.

As for the format, once you get in into Excel you can format the numbers anyway you want.

Select a colum or group of numbers, right click on it and select "format cells".

Yeah it was not about formatting in excel it was how it was formatted in the spreadsheet text file. Using the scientific notation format instead of the %s format I am having no problems now. Thanks for all of your help. I believe all of my issues have been solved for now. Thanks again to all who helped.
