Standalone HydraBID (Location)

Description:

Certain cells in the HydraBID summary sheet were displaying #NAME? instead of expected totals.


Solutions:

Cause:
  • The problem occurs when the HydraBID project Excel file is saved in a foreign location (e.g., OneDrive).
  • Excel updates formula references to include the full path, breaking the link to the original add-in (HydraXL.xla in C:\H40\Prog\XLEST).
Solution:
  • Launch HydraBID from its original location (C:\H40\Prog\XLEST).
  • Update the desktop shortcut to point to the correct folder.
  • If only a corrupted file exists:
    • Perform search and replace to remove foreign path references, leaving just GHT.
