office toolkit "excel get data" can't read anything but integers?

[parkerfly]

I'm using LabVIEW 2009, and can't get LabVIEW to read non-integers from a spreadsheet.  In the attached sample, I set a breaktpoint after the New Report vi, and and when it hits that breakpoint I put a number like 1.234 in cell A1, then continue execution.  But the "data" output always returns an integer value.  Even tried changing the format of the output data field.  I also tried replacing this with the Excel Get Data (dbl) vi from the toolkit folder, but got the same result.

When I tried the same thing in LabVIEW 8.0 it worked.  Any idea what I'm doing wrong?  🙂

Thanks,

Your indicator is integer, after you change the indicatpr type, then you can get the right results.
