Hi dunno wha...,

in this case you should write your data into a *.csv file. You can open it with excel and you still have your table.

Or you can use Write to Spreadsheet File.vi

You can write your header ahead of time, then append your table later on.

What component is that ?

Has this component in labview 6.0 ?

Write to Spreadsheet File.vi

Yes it is there is LabVIEW6.0 with a different icon. SO, just read the Vi label in file I/O function.

There is some conflicting and incorrect information here. First, to get the column headers of a table, you use a property node and the property 'Column Header Strings[]'. This is a string array and you can append it to the 2D string array that is the table contents.

In 6.0, the Write to Spreadsheet File was not able to write a string array. However, there are instructions on the block diagram that describe what needs to be modified. After making the modifications, save the VI with a new name and in a new location.  I know for a fact that the modified VI has been posted to the forum. You can do a search but the actual modifications should take less time.
