needs option to not load certain data
It would be very helpful if there was a property you could set that would cause it not to load particular data. For example, I have a file that has my spreadsheet data saved in it, but I also save images as a byte array. If there was a special group property you could set that would disable this application from loading the image data then it would stop excel from loading massive amounts of data.

TDM Excel Add-in Capabilities
The currently posted TDM Excel Add-in works with Excel versions "2003 and higher", which includes version 2007. The currently posted TDM Excel Add-in does correctly import date/time channels into Excel-- note that Excel tracks date/time as the number of fractional days since about 1900. You may need to change the formatting of the datetime channel column in Excel to see the datetime information the way you want it. An error report has been entered for the TDM Excel Add-in for the 256 column limitation in Excel 2007. Hopefully a new version will be posted soon which removes this artificial limitation.

How about a version for Excel 2007

256 Channel limit
Note that there is a 256 channel limit (per tab) in Excel. This add-in will only display the first 256 channels. You can probably get around this by writing code to split the TDM file into multiple smaller files or create your own Excel converter VI that would place 256 channels per tab. Or you could just use DIAdem...you know you want to...all the cool people are doing it. (-;

Exporing Data
I think it would be useful to have the possibility to build the excel file directly from LabView. Regards.

Needs Timestamp Data (#2)
I confirm that a time stamp data column would be very useful, if not necessary, also for my company (we manufacture hydraulic pumps, mainly for chemical or oil and gas companies); in fact, also for legal/contract issues, we have to recall the exact time in which a variation of the conditions happens. Thank you very much for your attention.

Needs timestamp data
This would be very helpful for my application, but the file data is transported to excel without any timing information, making it difficult to graph the results correctly. It would be great if the first column on every sheet contained timestamp data for each row. I don't suppose the source code is available so that we can add improvements ourselves?
