GraphExpert Professional 1.1.0 has one new major feature: the ability to extract and use data directly from an Excel(TM) spreadsheet. This allows you to use Excel(TM) as a data source directly, without having to copy data from your spreadsheet to GraphExpert Pro.

To use this new capability, just create a hot link. When configuring the hot link, specify the Excel(TM) filename (the file can either be .xls or .xlsx) as the file to link to, and then specify the sheet and cell range that your data is in. That's all there is to it!  A screen shot of this process is below:

There are also several bugs that have been resolved in the 1.1.0 release. Enjoy!

• ADDED: Capability to hot link to data directly inside of an Excel(TM) spreadsheet.
• CHANGED: autoscale-on-remove not defaulted to "never"; it was "always".
• RESOLVED: cannot close the Python sandbox window with the Close button, and once closed with the close box, cannot reopen window.
• RESOLVED: Copying a section of a dataset that was formed by splitting columns failed. Fixed.
• RESOLVED: In certain circumstances, when an image cannot be written from a graph, the user was not adequately informed of the error. Fixed.
• RESOLVED: under certain circumstances, the app preferences might not open properly.
• RESOLVED: the status badge of a hot link would sometimes be set back to "OK" even when the hotlink was not being updated properly.
