Scilab_XLL

To know where you can found Scilab_XLL.xll from Scilab:

packages=atomsGetInstalled();disp(packages(find(packages(:,1)=="Scilab_XLL"),4)+'\bin')

I installed your excel data program.  I'm new to SCI-Lab and I'm trying to generate plots 
of 3D beam data from Excel.  I have Windows7x64.  I installed the x64 version of SCI-
Lab.  I realize your version is x32.  The excel portion is fine and the help file in SCI-
Lab is fine.

I tried from the SCI-Lab text editor to:
Load and this is what I get,
root_tlbx = get_absolute_file_path('loader.sce');
                                                 !--error 999 
get_absolute_file_path: The file loader.sce is not opened in scilab.
at line      11 of exec file called by :    
exec('C:\Users\Ed\AppData\Local\Temp\SCI_TMP_1412_\LOAD_INTO_SCILAB-0150d176-7f0b-4499-
9f99-986da593c430.sce', 2)
while executing a callback
 

I tried from the SCI-Lab text editor to:
Execute and this is what I get,
-->exec('D:\Ed Library's Downloads\csdb\SCILAB\Scilab_XLL_0.1-
1.bin.i686.windows\Scilab_XLL\loader.sce', -1)
                       !--error 3 
Waiting for right parenthesis.
root_tlbx = get_absolute_file_path('loader.sce');
                                                 !--error 999 

 I'm sure the problem is obvious to the experienced user.  If you think I need to I will 
load the x32 version of SCI-Lab
Thanks for your time;
Ed

Yes, you need to use Excel & scilab 32 bits

I also tried putting the your module in the same directory under 3rd party.
I execute and loaded from there I use the example text.  this is what I get.


-->SLEvalString("A = ones(3,3);")
                               !--error 4 
Undefined variable: SLEvalString

thanks Ed

Hi,

SLEvalString is a excel macro not a scilab macro.

With this toolbox, you can call scilab from excel.

Well I read the instructions above about using Atom.  The problem continues though as 
Atom for some reason is in a strange language.  Intalled reinstall, even installed x32 
but  No luck?

Comment from Edward Lizotte -- March 30, 2010, 05:17:25 AM    

Atom is in some foreign language.  I used command prompts and got you module installed 
but it still won't establish a variable in SCILab for me.

Hi, I’m trying to use SLGetMatrix in Excel, but it gets only de first value of de matrix

(1,1). Do you know what happen?
Thanks

Hi,

You must select a range of cells 

{=SLGetMatrix("R")}

Hi Allan, thanks for your reply. Sorry, but I'm new in SCILab and I put {=SLGetMatrix
("R")} in some cells (dim of de matrix), but it doesn't work. I need do anything
else?

Thanks

Hi,

it is not a scilab feature but of Excel

Select some cells in excel and press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER

Comment from Jim Regan -- October 23, 2011, 06:47:00 AM    

I am using Windows XP/SP3, SCILAB v5.2.2 (32-bit) and Excel 2000. I downloaded from above,
Scilab_XLL_0.1-1.bin.i686.windows.zip and extracted the files. I installed
"Scilab_xll" as
an addin to Excel. I then opened the included file "example.xls". If I try to
execute the
cell "D3", Excel throws an "Unexplained error" 

"Microsoft Excel for Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are
sorry
for the inconvenience."

for which Microsoft helpfully suggests buying a newer version of Excel as the only
solution. Excel vanishes as soon as I dismiss the Microsoft Excel for Windows crash
window.

Thank you.

Comment from Eric Strauss -- May 18, 2012, 09:28:13 PM    

Excel 2007
Windows XP
SciLab 5.3.3

The only function I can get to work from "examples.xls" is the
"=SLGetMatrix("WSCI")"
And it seems it only works for variables that were created upon SciLab startup (or 
internally created variables).  

If I create some dummy variable "a = 2;" from within SciLab

I get this result when executing the formula "=SLGetMatrix("a")" in the
Excel cell:
"System.NullReferenceException:"

I see there is an update to xls_link.  Does that mean an update to Scilab_XLL is 
forthcoming?  I'm hopeful that development hasn't been abandoned.

Scilab_XLL is perfect for developing Excel based applications for engineers that are 
unfamiliar with the Scilab programming environment.

If there is an update, can you provide the syntax to call the commands directly in VBA?
