External Spreadsheet tab recoginition

External Spreadsheet tab recoginition

External Spreadsheet tab recoginition

(OP)
I am using an external spreadsheet to drive my model expressions. Is there a way to specify a different tab on the spreadsheet to use? Or does NX only recognize the first tab of a spreadsheet?

RE: External Spreadsheet tab recoginition

How are you connecting to this 'external' spreadsheet from within NX?

Through Tools, Expressions, Function button, then picking the spreadsheet from a folder and typing in the cell.

RE: External Spreadsheet tab recoginition

When you type in the cell address use the full reference <sheet name>!<cell address>.

So if you are referencing cell C5 on Sheet2, you would type in Sheet2!C5.
