Excel 2013 Errors in Linked Tables; An Answer


i'm posting in case else has problem save month have spend trying track down. ms paid support couldn't work out. error reporting in 2013 version useless , less informative 2010.  if see

"there errors trying update 1 or more linked tables.  use options below see ways fix these problems, or ok continue without fixing them."  , go options wreck model don't panic.  have found 2 causes

1.  if have incompatible data in 1 of import fields e.g. date entered style 07/29/13 when date format uk 29/07/13, or text. in 2010 got incompatible data error above.
2. if update table has calculated field dependency on table can't find same error. found because updating weekly figures , updated tables 1 @ time in wrong order.

broadly think error created on import throw same warning. hope message saves people lot of heart ache.
