I am having trouble using an Excel.XLSX file as my data source. The file, suite, and server are all on the same pc.
I added a text field to a page.
I kept the text empty for now.
I checked Database.
I checked ODBC under Advanced.
I connected to my file using the driver: Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *
I browsed to and selected the DB File.
Under Table i refreshed the table and i can see the named ranges i have on my excel file (My named ranges are single cells with names)
I selected the single cell with a named range of "Goal". The Select Statement changed to: SELECT * FROM [GOAL]
I refreshed the select statement and the value shows up at the bottom of the table screen.
After i hit ok, what is my next step to get that value to show up on my page designer after selecting Refresh Now?
I tried editing the text filed making it say [Goal] but that only displayed "[Goal]" on my page and not the goal's value from the excel file.

Hi PeeWhy,
Looks like you are on the right track for connecting to your excel sheet. It may be helpful to review this post viewtopic.php?f=79&t=225. # 11 has information about setting up the formatter ( Ex. [GOAL]) to point to the proper cell in the Excel sheet.
As for the Driver drop box menu, this is a bug that our developers are looking into.
Kind regards,
Martin
