Datalink formatting different from Excel file in AutoCAD

graemed — Wed, 30 May 2018 16:37:17 GMT

I would like the format of the data link tables in the cad file below to match the excel file. As can be seen by the image, they are not the same. I have tried many combinations of data link options. Please let me know if there is an easy way to create data link tables that look exactly like the excel tables.

There are no worthwhile solutions in the links provided, editing tables or adjusting window scaling is too time consuming. I will be sticking to OLEs until a better solution comes along.

Thanks though
