Hi DiPS,

I hope you are doing well today! Are you just trying to read from an excel file into LabVIEW? If so, you can search the forums and should be able to find lots of examples which can help you do that. Just search for 'read from excel'. You can also use the 'Read from Spreadsheet.vi' in LabVIEW.

I am not sure if you can read from an excel file that is being continually edited. What exactly are you trying to do?
