  • What are the different ways to read the contents of.xlsx files in LabVIEW?

Solution

The easiest way to read the contents of an .xlsx file is with the NI_Read XLSX File.vi solution provided in this post on the LabVIEW Community forum. This VI does not require Microsoft Excel to be installed.

Some alternatives to read .xlsx files include the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit or other 3rd party toolkits, although most of these approaches require Microsoft Excel to be installed.
