Hallo everyone,

I know nothing about it. The big problem is that I can no more link the datas. Can somone help me? Is possible to create links in indesign from an Excel with macro (xlsm)?

 

Thank you!!

You should be able to save your xlsM as xlsX - and then link it.

When you get a new xlsM file - just save it again as xlsX - overwrite your old xlsX file and update in InDesign.
