I have a created an output text file of my data using Labview. I need to be able to export this file into a specific sheet of my excel template. I need to write the text file first because it is not simply an array, but a combination of several strings and arrays. This is how the program was originally written, and i do not know how to change this. I am looking for an easy way to export the existing output file (.txt) into my excel workbook after the initial creation of the text file.

Recommended for you

Start Excel, click <File><Open> and then change the 'files of type' attribute to *.txt. Select your file and press <Open>. This will start Excel's import utility and give you all sorts of options on how to import the file (tab separated values, other deliminators, fixed width columns, etc.). If that doesn't do it for you you might need to reformat the text output.
