creating new report 1st day of each month

[END82]

Hello, all!

I have a vi that I run to record pressure on test units.  I want to create a new excel report on the 1st day of each month.  If it is not the 1st day of the month I want to just add the data for each test unit as a new worksheet.  I have looked around and can't find a post for what I need to do exactly.  If anyone can help, greatly appreciate.

I would use the Seconds to Date/Time iv then check the month to see if it changed and/or check the day of month and see if it =1 then make a new file or wirte to the old file acordingly

Hey END82,

I agree with RTSLVU's suggestion of using the Seconds to Date/Time vi. From there you can wire the day of the month into a case structure, and have the case for day number 1 to be where you create a new excel report and have the other default case add the data to the report. 

I attached a VI Snippet which you can drag onto a block diagram to look at.

Hope this helps!
