Hello Everyone
I came across the VI attached on
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-22422
(Below is my modified LV 2010 version but it is not much different)
I understand that you are able to put in numerical data but in a single row I want to be able to have numerical data, words, and a URL.
I think you have to use the Append Image to Report for the URL part but does anyone understand why it has to be 2D array if I just want the
last row to put in all my data. I do not know where or how I can add just words to this last row or the image.
Any help is appreciated.

There are two questions, so here are two answers.
Question 1 -- how do you mix numbers, strings, and URLs? Answer -- convert everything to strings (which, I believe, is what happens internally -- indeed, the input is labelled Text Data).
Question 2 -- why do you need to pass in a 2-D array if you are only writing a single row? Answer -- the "generic case" is to write an entire table, i.e. rows and columns, or a 2-D array, all at once. As a "special case", you can accept a single row if you convert it to a 2-D array (1 row, many columns) simply by passing it through a Build Array block. Thus you can have a single function Append Text Table to Report handle both multi-line text tables and single-line (faked to appear as though it were multi-line) text tables.
