"Read from Spreadsheet files" in PDA

[captainjin]

Hi, everyone,

I met a problem recently, could anyone offer me your valuable suggestion on this issue?

I created a project using LabVIEW PDA module, where I need to read several files. Thus, I used some VI units, like "Read from Spreadsheet File", "Read lines from files", "Read characters from file", etc. All of these work fine in my PC.However,when I executed this project in PDA module, the system prompts some error message, as shown below:

"The subVI "Read from spreadsheet file.vi" is not executable" ...

I browsed some previous items in this forum, it seems that the PDA doesn't support some specific file I/O functions right now. I ever used "Read from Text file" and "Read from Binary file" before, all of them work fine in PDA. So, I want to confirm that what types of such functions have been supported by PDA module. Is there any expert could give me a general list? And how can I read the spreadsheet file or characters from files if they are currectly not supported? Can anyone offer me some ideas? 

Any suggestion is very appreciated.

The threads related to my problems were partially discussed before:

I can't give you a specific list, but if you can read binary and text files, it sounds like you have everything you need. All the read from spreadsheet file VI does is read a tab-delimited text file and turn the results into an array of floats.

Hello,

Your best resource for this is to find the Known Issues list for the version of the software that you are using.  I have included the 8.5 and 8.6 links.  Others are available by browsing our website.  Once on the known issues page, open up the related link for the help files for your version.  The help files will explain which VIs were intended to be supported and which were not.  If you see one that is supported, but not working, check the known issues list.  If you don't find the bug listed anywhere in that list, feel free to post or email the problem to support.  I hope this helps!
