Known Problems, Limitations, and Workarounds
- Manual Step when Upgrading Your Version of Excel: If you installed the Excel Add-in, and subsequently upgraded your version of Microsoft Excel, you must copy the add-in folder and its contents manually to the new Microsoft Office folder as follows:
Copy the TDAddin folder and the TDExcelAddin.xla file from <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office<old version #>\XLStart to <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office<new version #>\XLStart.
Examples
- If you upgraded Microsoft Excel XP (2002) to Microsoft Excel 2003, copy the TDAddin folder and the TDExcelAddin.xla file from
<drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\XLStart
to <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\XLStart- If you upgraded Microsoft Excel 2007 to Microsoft Excel 2010, copy the TDAddin folder and the TDExcelAddin.xla file from
<drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\XLStart
to <drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\XLStart- Multiple Value Fields: The following limitation occurs when you are exporting data to a Quality Center field of type Lookup List, for which multiple values are allowed, and for which Quality Center verifies the value. If you try to export data to such a field for a record containing duplicate values (for example, High; High), the export does not complete successfully but a new record is created in Quality Center with empty field values.
- You cannot export Target Release or Target Cycle values that include double quotation marks.
