      Hi People,
      I need urgent solvation for the Indd-Xls problem.
      I use a book in Indd CC2019 with linked XLS files to each file. After the new calculations in Xls I have to update the links. That is the ISSUE – I cann not update the xls links. It offers me to place tabels again. Unfortunately the rows are with different height and a new place make a mess. When I have a table only on first sometimes it updates, sometimes NOT.
      I tried – new xls, xlsx, to replace file name, to work with cc2020, cc2021 … – same result.

      I have no more ideas:(
      Thank you for support!
      Miro

      That is correct… when InDesign links to XLS files, it is very difficult to update properly in InDesign.
      Usually the best way to update the data is with copy and paste:
