Hello Harold,

Are you using the Report Generation Toolkit? If not, how are you trying insert the graph and data into the spreadsheet? If you are using the Report Generation Toolkit, you could insert a graph into the worksheet using the 'Excel Insert Graph' VI.

i do not have the Report Generation Toolkit and my problem is i do not know how to export the waveform chart to excel

Hello Harold,

If you do not have the report generation toolkit, the next best option is to use ActiveX calls to access a Microsoft Excel application from within LabVIEW. I would strongly recommend taking a look at the ActiveX Excel examples that ship with LabVIEW. Please follow these steps to access these examples:

1) In LabVIEW, select Help >> Find Examples...

2) This opens the Example Finder.  In the Browse tab, these examples can be found under Communicating with External Applications >> ActiveX >> Excel . 

I hope this helps.
