Hi there,
I'm sure I'm just missing something very minor or maybe the Excel add-in does not work perfectly on Windows XP...
I would like to use the COMBINE DATA functionality. I did exactly as per this guide: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh548680.aspx
I list the steps I do first then describe what I expect to happen and what happens:
- From an Excel table I created an MDS entity, straightforward.
- Then I put another column next to the existing table/entity
- FYI: Code field is set to be populated automatically
- I highlighter the full table (including Name and Code columns, too + the new column)
- I clicked on COMBINE DATA
- I made sure the Range to combine with MDS data has the correct range
- Excel was smart enough to correctly identify the Entity columns and Corresponding columns, including the new one
- I unmapped code since it will be populated automatically!
- new rows appeared at the bottom of the table highlighted as new ones and a new SOURCE column is available
- I click publish and everything looks OK
- but when I reopen the entity no new column is there but the new rows are still present.
I have MDS admin access.
Is there something I'm missing? I tried to look for videos, tutorials but the same info is mentioned everywhere because as far as I think this should be it.
Any help/idea would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know if any more detail is needed I accidentally forgot to put into the question.
Thanks,
