function ExcelExample()
{
// Get the data that will be written into an Excel file
var curTime = aqDateTime.Now();
var cpu = Sys.CPUUsage;
var fileName = "c:\\temp\\MyFile.xlsx";
var excelFile;
var excelSheet;
if (aqFile.Exists(fileName))
{
// Open the existing Excel file
excelFile = Excel.Open(fileName);
excelSheet = excelFile.SheetByIndex(0);
// Write the data into a new row of the existing file
var rowIndex = excelSheet.RowCount + 1;
excelSheet.Cell("A", rowIndex).Value = curTime;
excelSheet.Cell(2, rowIndex).Value = cpu;
}
else
{
// Create a new Excel file
excelFile = Excel.Create(fileName);
excelSheet = excelFile.AddSheet("Sheet1");
// Write the data into the first row of the created file
excelSheet.Cell("A", 1).Value = curTime;
excelSheet.Cell(2, 1).Value = cpu;
}
// Save the file to apply the changes
excelFile.Save();
}
