How to Change Testand Report Format to Excel instead

[Edmund.M.Williams]

What is the best Way to change my Teststand Report Format to Excel Instead of XML, HTML, ATML, ASII, etc, ...

Should I do this inside of the Reporting Process Model, reporting to Excel is not an option by default.  Is there a simple way to make Excel the default Datalog output From Teststand?  Or will I have to customize my Teststand Sequence to do this like before?

Process model plugins are the proper answer here.  From the TestStand help this gives a pretty good explanation: https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/teststand/page/process-model-plug-in-architecture.html

It's not trivial to do what you want.  You have to recurse through the MainSequence results and inject the data into the correct cells. 

I've written several Excel plugins.  The trick is knowing how to map the data from your test to the proper sheet and cell.

Let me know if you have specific questions or thoughts.

Hi 

I need help, how can I change teststand report to Excel format

There is no out of the box (Test Stand box) solution for this. You can write your own plugin as Sam explained. To do so, you will need to use Excel API (you will find plenty of examples how to do this in LabVIEW in the internet).

Other option (not perfect though) is to generate CSV file. Excel can deal with it quite well.

Hi, 

In addition to the options listed in this post, you can try to use Model Plug-in - Simple Text Report - NI
