importing data from excel file to l.v

[sam.f]

 Dear Labview specialist:

I need to import data from excel file,but i wanna use from every single number separately,
 I mean the first number (in first column and first row ) should be read by the labview and after some calculation get back to second data(for example the number that is located in first column and 2nd row) and again after some arithmetic operation get back and read the 3rd number( first column and 3rd row) and...

How can I do this?
thanks of your time and consideration

Look into the Examples that shipped with LabVIEW.

Unless you are using the Report Toolkit add-on, there are no examples that actually show how to read an actual Excel file as opposed to reading a comma or tab delimited text file. There are numerous  examples in the Excel Board though.

Frankly though, reading cell by cell is very inefficient method. You could easily read an entire column at once into an array and manipulate each element as you want.
