writing scalar floating point number to spreadsheet

[kloepper]

I am new to labview, and am trying to modify an existing VI. I am trying to wire to a write to a spreadsheet and am getting the error message: "you have connected a scalar type to an array of that type.  The type of source is double...the type of sink is 1-D array of double."  I am using Labview 8.2, and was told by the original programmer that in older versions you could directly wire scalar floating point numbers to the write to spreadsheet function.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks!

As far as I know you cannot wire a scalar to the write to spreadsheet file vi.  You can take you scalar and build it into a 1x1 array and then write that to the spreadsheet.
