Hi,

I use Deja Vu X3 (latest update) and whenever I try to import an Excel file containing several columns and / or sheets, although the file does seem to import, the translation area is empty, that is, no text is actually imported.

I have tried to apply the filters "Excel" and "Office 2007", but it makes no difference.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I would be most grateful because I can't seem to find any information on this anywhere – save on ATRIL

Hi,

Does anyone know how to fix this? I would be most grateful because I can't seem to find any information on this anywhere – save on ATRIL's own site, but the only solution offered is that of using said filters, and unfortunately in my case that made no difference.

Importing any kind of Word document presents no problems at all.

Thank you!

protect workbook? Oct 5, 2014

It happens if the book is protected.

Look at Review > Protect Workbook
"Protect Structure and Windows" should not be checked, otherwise import fails.


Selcuk

Thank you very much, Selcuk!

I am sorry for not replying before, I thought I had and only noticed just now that this wasn't so.

In the end I changed the file name which solved the issue. I will surely try your solution in the future, though, since this has happened to me several times and at those other times the file names have been very simple (just text).
