Hello,
There is a bug in a new version,
relinking xlsx reference is not working correctly - instead of keeping the same cell range as the original file. it’s bring the all sheet.
in my case i have multiple cells in my layout files..
each cell turns in to a sheet.. which makes Layout to crash..
what to do?
I’m not able to duplicate what you describe. Can you share example files that exhibit this behavior?
I will try to explain with a simple example..
a Layout file with tables linked to a excel file:
one table is linked to rage A1:B5
the second table linked to a rage D1:E5
now i want to relink the Excel reference from one excel file to another.
Excel A
Excel B:
Relinking the the To “Excel B” is not keeping the same rage - it brings all in.
so instead of keeping the same rage, the result is:
it’s a simple example..
my original project files linked to complex excel files.. so “bringing all in” crashes the program.
i hope it’s clearer now.
TEST_File.layout (16.0 KB)
Yes.
but each table has it’s own range.
And you can pick the range you need when you select the new spreadsheet.
I tested this in LayOut 2026 and the behavior is the same.
Editing the range has not sense.
Because I can have 10 different tables with 10 different ranges linked to the same sheet at the same file (Excel_A)..
at the previous versions i could just relink to (Excel_B) all the ranges would kept, and the data would be updated.
Again, I’m not seeing anything different in LayOut 2026.
