Merged idea
This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit IBMI-I-1446 IBM i ACS Datatransfer from IBM, EXCEL TabName.

Create sheetname Excel for data transfer in IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS) as it was in IBM i Access for Windows. Merged

Data Transfer in ACS creates other sheetnames in Excel file than older data transfer program IBM iAccess for Windows.

Data Transfer in older IBM i Acces for Windows creates sheetnames "Sheet1", "Sheet2", etc in Excel. ("Blad1", Blad2", etc in Dutch)

In the new replaced product (IBM i Access Client Solutions for OS version 7.3), with data transfer .DTFX, the sheetnames are created with "library name>Sheet1".

Problem: Wrong link in excisting Excel files who refer to the sheet with the data of the transfered file(s).
We use a lot of Excel Pivot Tables who refer to the transfered file(s), but now the links are lost.
So we have to change the name of the sheets manually, and has to do this after every data transfer.

Our request for change is to create sheetnames like the old way: "Sheet1" without libraryname.
Otherwise to create a option in the configuration file for how the sheetname has to be created.


Use Case:
