[QUOTE="Caesar Agumbus, post: 7287108, member: 6922318"] First, and obviously, I want to thank FA (and his helpers/supporters) for this great builder. When I first started playing 5e, as with most games I've played, I searched for some sort of character builder, found this one, and it's still my go-to. Not sure the first version I used, but I've been using v1.64 for a while now, and just today downloaded v2.27. I use Excel 2013 on PC running Windows 7. I've looked in the Community FAQ & Instructions for Use pdfs, and attempted to search this thread, but have been unable to locate an answer to my issue(s). Most likely due to limits of my search-fu in relation to my patience of sifting through results. My issue w/2.27: I cannot get the "Import Character" function to work at all. My issue with all versions (which I'm realizing may be the root cause of my issue above): I've long lamented the fact that I've been unable to save character data from the builder without outright renaming a save of the full spreadsheet. Maybe that is just due to my limited understanding of Excel's more complex functions, but similar builders for other games have had obvious means to save characters without saving huge spreadsheet files. It has always bothered me, but the relative ease of re-entering in this generator kept it from bothering me enough to search out an answer. At least, until my attempts to use the new (to me) obvious import tool failed when I attempted to import those renamed full files. So, FA (or others), do you have a solution to my problem? What am I overlooking? [/QUOTE]
