How to save a "write to spreadsheet file" as read only

[Zyshan]

I'm writting data in a loop into a write to spreadsheet vi. when it's complete I want the file to be read only when it is opened in excel.

After you finish writing to file, use some Advance File VIs & Functions to change the attribute of the file.

Specifically you might need to use 'Set Permissions' funciton.

In the File I/O->Advanced pallete there is a function called Set Permissions.  Please read the help file on this function and follow the link to how to set the permissions.
