Hi,

You can also save the excel spreadsheet into a file, and read it in labview using the excel file vis.

Hope that helps,

Hi,

If I understand your question, you would like to copy and paste a column from Excel into LabVIEW.   When you try to copy and paste, unfortunately,  the datatypes are quite different for Excel and LabVIEW and thus you will get an image when you paste the column into LabVIEW.  There are other ways to copy a column and save them into LabVIEW.  You can use activeX to interface between the two or you can use the Report Generation Toolkit.  You can also save your file as a tab or comma delimited file and then read the file in LabVIEW.


I hope this helps,
