Excel version?

Excel version?

Excel version?

(OP)
Hi.
Whats the suggested version of Excel (to create part families)?
2007, 2010, 2013, x32, x64?

RE: Excel version?

If you go to...

Help -> Release Notes...

...in the section titled 'NX <XX.X> System Information' there's an item titled 'NX Compatibility with Spreadsheet'. This will give you what you're looking for.

OK.

If I have both Excel 2013 and 2010 on my PC, How can I make that NX call Excel 2010?
(because 2013 it's not compatible).

RE: Excel version?

I assume NX is taking its que from Windows. Which is the default as far as Windows is concerned? In other words, if you were double-click on an Excel file (.xls or .xlsx) in the Explorer, what version would the file be opened with?

In my Windows 2013.
So, you mean I just have to tell Windows that it has to open xls files with my Excel 2010 ?
Or there is another way?

RE: Excel version?

I'll have to check with someone, but that won't be until next week.
