I am trying to link data from a PLC program to an Excel spreadsheet. As I follow the procedures, I go to Paste Special in Excel, select Paste Link, and Unicode Text. When I select OK the spreadsheet becomes unresponsive.

I have tried to paste: Unicode Text and the text appears in the selected cell. I suspect that Excel cannot establish a link with the PLC program but don't know for certain.

Any suggestions?

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
