Excel Spreadsheet Into InDesign

I know in previous discussions there have been questions about importing an Excel Spreadsheet into InDesign. I am able to follow those directions to import the spreadsheet correctly, however, my spreadsheet has colorful bullet points on it - they are part of the sheet and need to be color coded for availability purposes.

When I import the sheet into InDesign, it does not transfer the colored dots - they show up as just gray dots. Does anyone have a solution for this? I feel like I have exhausted my options and just wanted to see if anyone else has come across this issue.

Thank you in advance

Just for giggles try saving the Exel file as XLS and placing that.

I had a feeling it might. For some silly reason saving back seems to fix wonky behavior like this.

I guess sometimes you just have to take a step back to move forward. Good call, Bob.

You've got that right! Thank you all again, I am so glad to have this issue resolved

I was about to just manually change the colors of the dots.. there is probably close to 500 products on the spreadsheet and I was not looking forward to that. So again, thank you guys!
