OriginPro 2019b (64-bit)
9.6.5.169 (Academic)
Window 7 x64 SP1

Greetings!

What should I specify instead of "Main" to reference an active workbook?
I feel that the question is trivial, but could not locate this in the Origin help.

Thank you very much.

Hi,

You will then replace Main with the workbook name. There is no active workbook in this case since the active window is the graph. You need to specify the workbook to output the result. Thank you

That's clear.
What is mean is explicit definition of workbook name.
However is this possible to replace "Main" with a placeholder/variable referencing to a workbook, which is a source of data for gadget's source plot?

I guess that is not possible. The input box here only excepts a string and then parse it to get book name and sheet name. That's it.

Thank you.
It would be great to have this feature in Origin.
Do you know where I can leave a suggestion for the developer team?
