Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 2017
Operating System: win7-msoffice2016

When opening an excel file(document -append; but also as "open excel...") with multiple worksheets, only the active sheet is detected (as per list in right-click workbook->properties).
However, I need to adress the other different sheets by name as well ([workbook]sheetname!cell(x,y)) but cannot, since they do not exist for origin until I manually activate and right-click "update origin" to get them listed with their name and index @number.
Is there a basic import option I am missing or what would be the correct workaround for labtalk to activate and update to get all sheets listed?

Hi,

Use layer command:

layer -se Sheet2;
cell(2,2)=;

However, I think importing Excel to Origin first is a better way:
