Bend Table Import Error

[Anonymous]

I get the following error when I try to import a bend table

Failed to create style
Error parsing the Bend Table. Please correct the bend table file.

I suspect I haven't formatted something correctly but I'm not sure what

I just opened your Excel Bend Table and then created a new bend table in Inventor 2018 for 0.375 inch (your first table) and imported it without issue.  I selected cells B72:Z109.  I also did the 0.5 inch (cells B120:Z157)  table without issue also.  Perhaps you are selecting too few or too many cells.

Then I'm messing up in my steps on importing.

What steps are you taking?

I did a screencast showing my steps to create a bend table from your Excel spreadsheet.  When I taught Inventor most errors in this process were caused by selecting too many cells.  In my answer above, I mention the range of cells I copied for the 0.375 inch and 0.5 inch table.

That's what I was doing wrong.

Thanks for the Help!
