Arduino Data Logging with Microsoft Excel Data Streamer

In this video, I show you how to collect some data with an Arduino, send the data in a comma-separated variable format via Serial communication, and capture that data directly into a .csv data file using the built-in Microsoft Excel Data Streamer tool.

Arduino with Excel is a recreational programming Disneyworld. Never had such fun. And this video made it even better. Thank you, ChefJeff!

Great explanation, I didn't know about the Data Streamer, it looks really useful!

[@rufustoad1]

Thats good stuff. I am trying really hard to learn Arduino but most people do not explain what the line functions are like you have. That is very helpful to a guy starting out.

I didn't realize that Excel had that feature, this will be very handy - thank you.
Also, you can copy from the Arduino IDE serial monitor, I did it this afternoon.

For some reason I’m not able to copy paste from it. I used to be able to do it on V1.7 before the current Arduino v2.X software update.

Hello, is it possible to record "TIME" colon also? When I want to export CSV file, I wan't to see time info.

hi please help me out, i have a arduino uno r4 wifi board and everything is working fine except when i press start data, no data seems to be streaming in

My excel not recognised the Arduino com, how to fix it?

[@ChefJeffPhD]

I’d recommend trying to verify and identify the Serial COM port in the Arduino IDE, view the data in the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor, close it, and try to connect to it in Excel.
