I'm trying to connect one excel workbook to another through a data connection. However, when the new sheet is created in the second workbook, some of the columns only show number values (dates, numbers, etc.) but the text (names, locations, etc.) doesn't show up. I've tried messing around with inserting columns and hiding them, but it seems every time I try to duplicate a potential solution, the same result doesn't occur.
I managed to get one workbook to connect with the text and numbers both showing up, so I duplicated the file and created a data connection with that copy, but the text was omitted from the copied file.
