linking to an Excell file with SE version 16

linking to an Excell file with SE version 16

(OP)
I'm having problems with the stability of files when linked to an Excell document.  I can take a model and change dimensions without losing any features.  With the same model I can link the same dimensions to an Excell spreadsheet, change them in the same way and have multiple unrelated features fail.  When this happens the failed features will have a red exclamation point beside them.  When you place the pointer over them they simply say "failed to recompute."  I also have problems with the files displaying and updating correctly in SE draft.  If nobody else has had these problems, I'll assume I'm stupid.  What I really suspect is that the SE programmers are.
