Inserts and formats a table into a Microsoft Excel report. The data type you wire to the text data input determines the polymorphic instance to use.

Inputs/Outputs
font settings source
—
font settings source specifies the way in which you want to select font settings.
font
—
font sets the font attributes that the VI uses when formatting.
iteration
—
Iteration specifies the loop iteration count if you are adding data to an Excel worksheet within a loop.
report in
—

start (0, 0)
—
start represents the position of the top left corner of the range of cells in which the table appears.
text data
—
text data contains the data for the table. Note LabVIEW limits each element of the text data array to 912 characters. If an element exceeds 912 characters, LabVIEW returns an error. Refer to the KnowledgeBase for more information about a workaround for this limitation.
error in (no error)
—
error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs.
name ("")

name specifies a named range from which the VI performs the insertion.

next cell bottom-left
—
next cell bottom-left returns the position of the cell located next to the bottom left corner of the range that the start and end clusters define.
next cell top-right
—
next cell top-right returns the position of the cell located next to the top right corner of the range that the start and end clusters define.
error out
—
error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. |
