data in excel update

[alfred]

The data in the .vzp/.vza file can be updated after i changed the data of the linked excel. But the the data in .vpr file can't be updated after i change the data of the linked excel. Is it possible for me to do so?
I do the test with the file downloaded from Ventuz website.

Thx

sorry for that
As creating a project file, if the excel is in the folder of data, the "reference" can't be checked, so the data in .vpr file can't be upgraded . But if I move the excel from the data folder to other folder, I can check the reference and the data in .vpr file can be upgraded .
that is my experience

Another solution would be to reference your files with an relative path. Therefore you need to use an URL node and set the Scheme to File.
Then you can reference files relative to your project file.
Check the UserManual for more info.

Sorry for picking up this old thread!

I have the same problem.
My excel-file "database.xlsx" is located in a Folder "Excel" in the Project Folder.
The File Name of the Excel Workbook node(AutoUpdate activated) is feeded by an URL Node (Path "./Excel/database.xlsx" Scheme "FILE").
Changes of the excel-file in the Designer are no problem. But if I export the Scene as a Presentation there is no reaction on changes in the excel-file. Even if I close the presentation make the changes in the excel-file and start the presentation again the changes are ignored.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Cheers

I solved the problem.

I just had to export the presentation in the root of the project-folder. Otherwise the relative path crashed, when I exported into the "Presentations" folder.
