Hello,
I am building a standard file where i can draw electrical connections.
In this file i am using a background page which contains borders and general information about my project.
Now i would like to combine shapedata from my first page to the border in background page.
I've tried to do this with a field and custom formula. This did not work...
Does anyone know a way to fix this problem?
Thanks!
-René
Hi, René !
Please read article about cell references.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/client-developer/visio/about-cell-references
Also you must know about local an universal names (especially if you use non-English language pack)

For Visio's own content, this is a string translated for the product sku of Visio (i.e. German strings in German Visio). Users have the ability to rename Page and Master and Cell objects, and that changes the local name. Local names allow users to see things in a language that makes sense to them.
The universal name is hidden from the user interface and can only be updated through automation. This keeps a universal name consistent across product versions and user edits. A constant name allows solution developers to refer to objects by an identifier that makes sense to them. This identifier works no matter what is displayed for the local name.

Local and universal pagenames after second renaming are different! (http://visio.getbb.ru/viewtopic.php?p=6521#p6521)
better way use syntax sheet.<ShapeID> instead MyShapeName !
Quote from: JohnGoldsmith on May 21, 2015, 09:24:34 AMuse Sheet.ID syntax as per Surrogate's suggestion

Thanks for the help Surrogate.
The problem was whith the universal page name being different from my local name.
I got it to work with the following formula:=Pages[UniversalPageName]!Sheet.177!Prop.data
