FlexPro can open your Microsoft Excel workbooks directly and display them in a window. To display an Excel workbook, Excel is launched in the background. As soon as you click on the Excel workbook, the complete Excel user interface with all commands is at your disposal and you can work with them as you normally would. The latest version of Excel must be installed on your machine so that you can work with Excel workbooks.

You can embed Excel workbooks into the FlexPro project database or create links to external Excel files. You can save an Excel workbook embedded in the project database into an external file at any time.

FlexPro allows you to process the data in your Excel workbooks directly. To do this you have to create Excel data links. These can be handled in the same way as regular data sets. For the data and the header information, such as comments, physical units, etc., you can create links with individual cells or cell ranges in the Excel workbook. The Excel data link therefore combines several ranges from the Excel workbook into one complete data set.

FlexPro handles Excel workbooks like folders in the project database. You store the Excel data links to an Excel workbook in this folder. You can, of course, also store any number of other objects in this type of Excel workbook folder. You can activate an Excel workbook like a normal FlexPro folder.
