  • 1.  Is there a limit on Xpression on how many fields from Excel it can read from?

    Posted 02-07-2023 16:24

    I came across where I have numerous Define Names in Excel that Xpression is not reading to pull data from.
    The sheet itself is correctly set up as Mixed Numeric/Text Data. Any insight why that could be?

    When using excel with XPression always create tables and connect to them and not to the $sheets.

    I have created tables. Not all of them are showing up as you can see in my screenshots posted above. All the Excel tables are listed but not all of them are in Xpression.

    I think I found the issue - it had a hard time reading the Excel document that's linked to another Excel document. Which is unfortunate. I had a separate document where all the teams assets are (team names, team schools, Values for each R, G, B, and the logo location) as we are constantly updating as we grow our database. Once I added the Team Assets back into the same sheet, all my tables were available in Xpression.
