Can't update Numeric fields

Hi,
We use the Excel Connector to update Opportunity records with quote values from an estimation spreadsheet.  It has worked fine for about 4 months but now won't update numeric fields.  Dates, currency and text all still work fine.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks.

Yes, I did get it going again - I think it was due to a setting on sForce Connector Options - Filter Updates tab.  The
'Allow update...' option should not be selected.  I think this was it - even though the description of this option doesn't appear to relate to the problem!
 
Let me know how you get on.

Hi Mark,

did you work out the problem?  I'm now experiencing a similar issue.

I get an error message that says object required.

I'm using a custom object.
I've turned off validation and workflows
I can update the numeric fields via the SF UI
I can insert new records with values in the cell

I cannot then modify/update the field using the connector ... very perplexing!

Worked!!! Thank You.

 

i'd been looking for a fix on this for 2 weeks.

 

after i re-read, and re-re-read the description for that option, it makes sense now.

 

Thank You.
