how to present characters on express table?

[hanh]

I use express table.vi to present our data. I want to use one column for character (eg : good, bad, Ok...). I ve read some  relevant topics on the forum (how to use two different representative number...).

[parthabe]

A table [Express/Ordinary] is a decorative form of a 2D Str array, thats it.

You can use, I mean write different representation numbers, in terms of strings in the table on the row/column of your wish.

So, try searching the array pallette for more functions like Index Array, Insert Replace & Delete array functions to do what you want.

Can you elaborate on what kind of numbers you want to write on that particular column you ve mentioned?

Please come up with some sample code & data.

See the attached VI for more details.

My suggestion would be to use a multicolumn list box and a symbols for your test results.  If the prepackaged ones, are not good enough, then you can create custom ones.  It would be the easiest way to do as you are suggesting... Anything else is a major programming ordeal!  This is assuming you want a graphic picture of your test results.

Thanks, I 've try your example. It 's OK. But I want  to work with express table with the help of buid table vi. This Express VI appears on the block diagram when I place an Express table on the front panel.

I send my vi.

Hi hanh,

What are you trying to accomplish that your code does not accomplish already? I'd be happy to help!

I try to explain simply my work : I do statistics with my measurement files : integration, mean, standard error,..., max, min. Then I compare each integration  to the mean , so it is called "good" or bad... Finally, i want to show all the result on one  ex. table using build table vi: one column for integration, one column for se, one column for comparison result (good, bad)...

If you want the text 'Good' or 'Bad' to appear in the table, you're going to have to get rid of the Build Table Express VI. It and the dynamic data type input is not for strings. The express VI converts numeric type data into strings for display in a table. Since a table is nothing more than a 2D string indicator, all you'll have to do is convert your numeric data to strings and build the 2D string array. It's not that difficult.

Thanks, your example is clear. But how about multidimension array (eg.  3D) , i only know transpose 2D array?
