lookout to excel

[Ovizel]

Hi,
I have an example in Lookout where I don't know where is the problem. For academic porpose I need the data from Lookout to excel file from where Matlab can get it. The problem is the data in excel is present in text format and the Matlab come with an error from reading this file. In another situation the Data Table object save the data in a number format, but when data is passing thru DDE to another Data Table that data is in a text format.
How can I obtain the data in number format that Matlab can get it for some calculation.

Ovizel,

I have read over your post, and I am a bit unclear on what you are trying to do in Lookout. It sounds like you are working with Lookout, Excel, and Matlab to accomplish your goal, but I am unsure of the interaction between the various programs.

There is an example of exporting Lookout data to Excel that can be found here:

Exporting DataTable to Excel Spreadsheet File in Lookout

After looking that over, please post back with some additional details about your question. With that information, I think that this forum will be better equipped to help resolve your issue.

Hi Jed R.,

Thank you for reading my post.I rezolved the problem with Excel and Matlab for reading the data from xls, it was two problems :
first - the connection of thoose two tables in my posted example (with DDE link where "numeric" data from table1 is transformed to "text" in table2, I dont't know why)
second - version of Matlab (the new version is capable to read the xls).
Ok, to be more clear I need Matlab for matrix calculation. For these calculation it takes 2 lines of commands in Matlab and is more simple. I generated an exe file with this program in Matlab .
I want to do that for my student final project where the theme is "Autotuning" with some algoritms. At the end this project is usefull for the student laboratory with educational purpose.

Best regards.
