Excel Sheet - revision controlled by NX - Possible?

[RobLN]

Any help on the following is greatly appreciated:
Is it possible for NX to revision control an Excel file as if it were a drawing and write the revision automatically to the header of the Excel file?

Thank you.

If you're talking about an external Excel file, you should be able to do that with an NX Open program launched from within NX.

Hi John

Thanks for the response.

I need to be clearer on the requirement. I have an Item in NX with an Excel file as the only dataset. The item has one revision as revision A.

What I want to do is use the item>revise command and have NX / TC write the /B to the excel file like it does with a drawing.

Furthermore the part number written in the excel file needs to automatically be revised to B. Is that possible?

Thank you.
