Excel Add-In:
-
The functions of the GISconnector are based on a connection between an ArcGIS data set (Feature Class or Table) and a data table in Excel on the basis of a key column. This key column (GCEX_ID) is not write-protected and can therefore be changed by the user. In order to ensure a correct operation of the GISconnector no manual alterations should be made in the primary key column. The primary key column is managed entirely and solely by GISconnector.
General hints:
-
In general all cells of one Excel column must have the same data format to enable correct operation of the GISconnector for Excel.
(E.g. if one part of the cells of a column is formatted as ‘Text’ and another part is formatted as ‘General’ an error message will result.)
-
Please note the following instructions for Performance optimization if you are working with files that contain more than 10,000 data sets.
