Excel design sheets located in network drives
Environment
Not environment-specific
Question:
I have models on a network drive, along with the project-specific Excel sheet. Is it possible to run the excel design with the sheet in the network drive? I get the warning when I try to do that.
Answer:
The excel design works, if the Excel software is installed locally on your computer, and the excel sheets are on a network drive. Just make sure that the variable XS_EXTERNAL_EXCEL_DESIGN_PATH= shows the correct location of the excel sheets (network drive) in the user.ini file. There are 3 different ways to do it:
• using mapped network drive
• direct network address
• using IP address
