Solution
Unfortunately, Excel does not have an ActiveX control. It has an ActiveX interface allowing you to programmatically open/create workbooks, but no visual control. A possible workaround is inserting the spreadsheet file an ActiveX container, to do it:
1. Add an ActiveX Container to the front panel.
2. Right-click the ActiveX Container
3. Select
Insert ActiveX Object from the shortcut menu to display the
Select ActiveX Object dialog box.
4. Select
Create Object From File from the top pull-down menu in the Select ActiveX Object dialog box.
5. Click the
Browse button and navigate to the spreadsheet file you want to insert. You can select an object anywhere on the computer. Place a checkmark in the
Link To File checkbox to update the control or document when you update the ActiveX object. If you do not place a checkmark in the
Link To File checkbox, LabVIEW inserts a static version of the control or document.
6. Click the
OK button. The ActiveX control or document appears in the ActiveX Container.
