Data link detecting changes.

[Anonymous]

I am working on a project and I have put an excel sheet in a cad drawing as a data link. I am hoping I can find a way to edit the data in excel and when I hop it up in cad it will update to the new data and any data that has change to be bolded or indicated somehow. Is this something that can be done? As of right now I'm looking at just added another section and indicating it manually with an X but I would like a better flowing system.

Thank you.

Good day. 

I usually copy the excel table and paste it as an excel link see image attached. Once you update excel and save it it would update in autocad as well. 

Hope this helps.
