I am using swx 2013 sp5 and excel 2007.
in this period I am making data tables whose values are convenient to be taken from a series of excel sheets with the function "link copy"
I found this problem, which I had met in the past and circled brutally not using the "link copy" function:
when the data table and the excel sheet are open at the same time if I turn the columns connected to the data table they are updated on the data table as it was an absolute link.
on the contrary, if I close the data table and in the sheet I choose the linked columns, when I reopen the data table the references remain to the previous columns. I don't need to tell you what kind of inexorable mess can happen.
is someone aware of a possible solution to prevent the connection being lost? I attach two images for more clarity, excel and swx files for those who want to do tests. I have no idea whether it depends on the old version of excel, swx or both.
Thank you.
