Hi,
i've an excel in which i am importing data from external .csv file using "Get External Data". This is working fine; but now that external .csv file is changed to .xls file.

Now there is one way that i keep my external file as .csv file, which is not possible since i am using this file for other applications also.

Another way is to modify the existing connection from .csv to .xls, i tried it but it's not happening. Can anyone help me out with how to modify the existing connection to read the new .xls file (from existing connection where i used to read .csv file).

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
