Excel Question

Excel Question

Excel Question

(OP)
I have a wiring interconnect list (excel .xls). I would like to copy and paste into a SW drawing. I notice when I capture the data in excel and paste it into a SW drawing, the last column drops out. When I edit the sheet the data is there, but when I save and close, the last column shuts off. It bugging the heck out of me. What's wrong?

I know a lot off you are going to say, why not use the SW tables. I use the excel to calculate wire lengths of my assemblies.

Thanks,

RE: Excel Question

Double-click the table, then pull the resize handle to make bigger. Close the table.

Nope, I tried that and it doesn't work. It just stretches the table. It might be an excel problem or setting. I still researching this.

RE: Excel Question

If you clik once, it will resize the table. Double-click on it will open the Excel part of it...then resize.
