Migrate spreadsheet data
Migrate spreadsheet data
(OP)
We have an old file that did not have its spreadsheet data migrated from Xess to Excel. We no longer have Xess on any of our systems. Is there a way for us to migrate to spreadsheet data to excel or are we stuck and have to redo it?
Thanks.
Thanks.

RE: Migrate spreadsheet data
Preferences -> Spreadsheet...
...and set the 'Default Spreadsheet' to 'Excel' and toggle On the 'Force Migrate Spreadsheet Data' option. Close the dialog by hitting OK and then go to...
Tools -> Spreadsheet...
...and the data from your old XESS sheet should now be displayed in a new Excel page. Now when you close the Excel page be sure to hit the OK button when you're asked if you wish to save the changes to the Spreadsheet.

I don't have the option to "force migrate spreadsheet data." I only have the choice of xess and excel. I also should have correctly stated that this is for part family data.

File -> Utilities -> Migrate Spreadsheet Data...
...where you will be given a dialog where you can migrate all of the various Spreadsheets used in NX from XESS to Excel.

That being said, I suspect that the option that is now available in the Preferences -> Spreadsheet dialog (BTW, this was added in NX 8.0) is what will address this situation since the name of the option implies that this will 'force' the migration no matter what (note that I could find no documentation on this new 'feature' and since I'm not in the office today I may not be able to follow-up on this until Monday).
