external spreadsheet, the way to avoid refferences to the cell adress

(OP)
Im using NX8, and making a model based on a external spreadsheet. like written below (old post of morotsprotdesign), I want to make it lose of the location of the spreadsheet.
Can anybody tell me how i have to write it.

I tried change it like this, but i dont works.

ug_excel_read( "\\DSGNT4\Users\JPdK\shipmodel_v3\20120508_expressions_opbouw_v1.xlsx", "H26" )---->
ug_excel_read( "20120508_expressions_opbouw_v1.xlsx", "H26" )

thanks!

You might try controlling the part from the spreadsheet and also making the analysis from the spreadsheet.

The way to do it in NX3.0.2 is to use ug_excell_read() in Design logic.

One additional good practice is to use named cells rather than referencing the cell address, this makes changes to the spreadsheet possible without changing anything in the part.
