Updating custom number fields

I seem to hit a wall everytime i try to 'update selected cells' where the selected cells are custom fields with 'number' as type. The error is completely generic saying : "Object required".

I'm sure i have the correct structure and what not seeing as how i loaded the table using the 'Table query wizard'. I can update all the other custom fields that i've tried except for 'number' types.

 

I also find it strange that i can 'insert' a new row and the custom number fields take the value without a hitch, updating is where the problem is at.

 

Can anyone tell me if i'm missing something or if there is a work around for this.

Thanks

When you look at the format of the cell in Excel what is it set at?

This was from a previous post.

 

Not sure about root cause in the connector but I found two process changes that correct this problem:

1. Be sure the field name you are updating is unique across all objects

2. When running the initial query, select the option to use API names instead of field labels.

i have a similar problem

 

1, the field API name and Label are unique.  i've checked, rechecked, made a new field with a completely diffrent name.

2, the option is set to use API names.

 

anything else i might try?

 

Thank you

I haven't came back to this post in a while but the problem went away for me when i updated the 'SForce Office ToolKit' and the 'sforce_connect.xla' to the latest verions.

Although i hit a bit of back and forth when trying to update the pluggin with Excel, once the right connector was referenced everything was fine.
