louX2,

I have a few questions in response. First, how is the data organized in the Excel spreadsheet? If it is a few individual cells, then I would suggest looking at the Excel shipping examples that come with LabVIEW that show how to read and write to a few cells using ActiveX. Second, what version of LabVIEW and Excel will you be using? Each version of Excel has a slightly different ActiveX interface which means it is very hard to run the same VI on two different systems that have differing version of Excel. This is solely a Microsoft issue.
Let me know if these suggestions do not point you in the right direction.

loX2:

Sorry, no offense, but your question is not clear to us.

Are you acquiring time stamped signal (or is it Single as in float32)
data from some sort of instrument or card and then trying to write
that data to an Excel file?

or

Are you trying to read time stamped signal (or is it Single as in
float32)data in from an Excel file?

or

Are you trying to do something else?


Please explain more carefully what you are trying to do and we will
try to help.
