View a Excel (Report) file?

Post by jcjelektro »

Hello

Is it possible to view at Report File directly in the IX software?
Or is it possible to convert at .XLS to .PDF with a script, and then view it in IX?

Are you doing this on a PC or Windows CE HMI? There is no built in Excel Viewer in iX developer. On the PC you could call an external application from iX. Meaning you could install Excel on the PC, then execute Excel and have it automatically open up your file.

I you are targeting a PC, with enough effort, you might be able to do something like this with script in your iX application.

Hello again.

I'm using a Beijer C2D Box PC with build in IX Runtime.
I think i will install Excel on the pc, and call it from the IX software. I'm all ready using that to view the incomming Logfile from Teamviewer.

Thanks.
