Hi, I am new to LabVIEW.  Can someone help me with this question? 

How do I change a 2D time variant to a 2D string?

Please see attached.

You have neither variants nor a 2D array. What you have coming out of the loop is a 1D array of timestamps. To convert a timestamp into a string you can use the Format Into String function or the Format Date/Time String. The Write to Spreadsheet File function has a 1D array input so you can use that instead of the 2D input.

Thanks for your help.  Is this the best way to do this?

That would do it. You can change the output string by editing the format string. The LabVIEW documentation provides the details on the various formatting options and codes.

Tip: The sequence frame in your case is not necessary. You only need to use sequence frames when dataflow does not allow you to explicitly set an execution order.
