  • 1.  Restore and/or relink an uploaded file

    I created a simple data module (DM) consisting of 3 data sources. Each data source is linked to one Excel file. I accidentally deleted one of the Excel files. As a result, I now see a bunch of errors on the corresponding data source - 1 per field in the data source. It says something like "The column 'A' refers to 'B', which does not exist. Edit the column so it refers to an existing item." I uploaded the Excel file again, but, the errors won't go away. What else do I need to do to resolve the issue? Thanks for your help, in advance!

    Relink the data source to point to the file.

    Thanks Ian! And, sorry, I should've mentioned that I had already tried that, but, it didn't work. However, when I logged in this morning, the errors were gone. Thanks!
