I'm afraid that means that the component does not support what you want to do at the moment.

We'll need to investigate if this is possible and then add it to the component.

Hi Jim

Have tried using the existing Cell_Read action?

Hello Hanno,

thanks for your reply.

Indeed i tried but I got this error: Invalid Address Format

The only way to make it work was to use the default name of the cell (A1) instead of the one that I defined.

Got any suggestion?
Jim

Sorry Hanno, I forgot to mention:

I've used the Cell_Read_By_Name action.

The Cell_Read works fine but my goal is to read the content of a cell that has a specific name.
