Problem Statement
How to resolve the problem that Variables change in Excel is not displayed in Aspen Plus?
Solution
This can occur for one of two reasons:

• If you put an equation in a cell, the equation will take priority over any attempt to enter a new value on the form in Aspen Plus.
• Aspen Simulation Workbook expects you to change specified variables from Excel.

To fix, close the form/dialog box in Aspen Plus; then, open it back up; you will now see the value is consistent with Excel.

Another way to force an update, is to click the Refresh button in the Workbook group of the ASW ribbon .
