Excel Add-In Data Table Name in Excel 13I've used the JMP Excel add-in for quite some time, but I've started having problem with the data table name in JMP 13. Before I upgraded, when I used the add-in to create a JMP data table from an Excel spreadsheet, the JMP table would be named with a combination of the Excel file name and sheet name. Now the JMP table is named "Untitled". I checked my preferences in the add-in, but the field is empty. After reveiwing the Using JMP chapter dealing with the add-in, I went back to preferences and changed "Data Table Name" from blank to "File Name_Worksheet" and now my data tables are all named "File Name_Worksheet". How can I get the add-in to create a data table with the actual file name and worksheet? Can I further customize this so that it defaults to just the worksheet name?
Thanks!
Re: Excel Add-In Data Table Name in Excel 13I am on JMP 13.2.1 and having the issue of the table name created as "Untitled". If I use the suggestion of typing &[File]_&[Tab] in the preferences for file name. It changes the preferences to that file name for all future saves including other files. This causes other tables to be named incorrectly.
I think this is still a bug in 13.2.1? Anyone else seeing this?
Re: Excel Add-In Data Table Name in Excel 13Happens to a lot of us.
&[File]_&[Tab]
Is what you type in, and it will save in that Preferences file.
Re: Excel Add-In Data Table Name in Excel 13Have you tried using the following in the excel preferences box:
&[File]_&[Tab]
I had the same issue and that seems to be working for me.
Re: Excel Add-In Data Table Name in Excel 13I've tried the workaround a couple of times and it's still not working. I may just have to wait for 13.2!
Re: Excel Add-In Data Table Name in Excel 13Hi,
I've investigated this further and regrettably this is a bug that was introduced into the addin for JMP 13. I will enter a defect and see if this can be fixed for the 13.2 release.
There is a workaround for this issue. If, in the JMP Add-in ribbon bar within Excel, you go to Preferences and change a preference and hit ok, a preference file will be saved out. From that point on, the issue will go away. You may have to change a preference and then change it back if you like the default settings. It is the absence of the preference file that is causing this issue.

This may be a defect. I encourage you to contact JMP Technical Support and see if they can replicate your problem. If they can, they will open up an issue so that this gets fixed in a future release.
