Hello, everyone. I'm working on a huge project using Tag Editor to translate Excel sheets and when I finished translating a 20k word document and tried to save the target file, I got the following error: "The worksheet name uses imported data from an external source, therefore the sheet name cannot be changed for the following sheet: module 1". I'm no expert in TRADOS, but I asked around and nobody has been able to help me with this. I'm working with TRADOS 2007. Please help! Thanks in advance.<... See more

Hola a todos. Estoy trabajando en un proyecto enorme utilizando Tag Editor para traducir hojas Excel y cuando terminé de traducir un documento de 20.000 palabras e intenté guardar el archivo target, me salió el siguiente error: "The worksheet name uses imported data from an external source, therefore the sheet name cannot be changed for the following sheet: module 1". Yo no soy experta en TRADOS, pero pregunté a varias personas y nadie ha sido capaz de ayudarme con esto. Estoy trabajando con TRADOS 2007. ¡Ayuda por favor! Gracias de antemano.

You are supposed NOT to translate worksheet names Oct 19, 2010

Use the search function in Tageditor
Search in tags for "sheet".
This will show yiu the worksheet names - when you find such tag, open the segment withing this tag and restore source for it (this simply means: leave worksheet names untranslated).
Do this for all WS-names.
After that your Excel file should save properly.

No segments found Oct 19, 2010

Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, I couldn't solve my problem with this. I went to Edit, find (on Tag Editor) and searched in tags for "sheet" and the only thing that came up where two tags in grey (no segments there) with the word "worksheet". That's all I got. Any ideas? Thanks anyways.

When you find the tag... Oct 19, 2010

Press ALT+HOME, it will open the segment.
When you see tag with the name "Worksheet", it starts the worksheet name - please just restore the names, which begin as segment with the "Worksheet" tag.

Still unresolved Jul 16, 2012

Hi there,

This is definitely a solid tip, but I seem to have a particularly difficult case on my hands right now with only hours until delivery of a huge file. I've read every single article out there on saving a TTX back to the original xlsx file, have tried everything and still have no idea why I keep getting the object reference message.

Hi there,

This is definitely a solid tip, but I seem to have a particularly difficult case on my hands right now with only hours until delivery of a huge file. I've read every single article out there on saving a TTX back to the original xlsx file, have tried everything and still have no idea why I keep getting the object reference message. The xlsx contains html code, but only in the cell text, which I am starting to suspect is the reason for this error. I have checked the sheet name and it was the same as the original, I even inserted it again to no avail though.

Of course, the original xlsx and the ttx are both in the same folder, I have also opened the TTX in notepad to verify that the original path is still there. I have definitely run out of options, due date in 6 hours and I leave on holidays an hour later!!!

I would sure appreciate some late night help on this one, it's a tough nut to crack this time.

Also, is there any way of salvaging the situation? I have a perfect TTX file, have also tried to clean the file with workbench with the same error message. Now my hands are tied and I'm pretty sure my client isn't going to be able to solve this situation either considering the utter complexity/the fact that it appears to be a unique case.

So if you have any enlightening thoughts I would more than grateful!

Thanks again,

Stace
