I am having issues getting the shortcut I set up for DataSourceNextRow and/or DataSourcePreviousRow to work at all. I have seen how some people have done this programmatically but I am no programmer. I just need the shortcut to advance to the next row in my Excel spreadsheet. The file name I am using is test_lyrics.xlsx and vMix imports it and I can see the data. If I advance manually in the Data Source Manager, it shows up on my output but If I close the data manager and try to advance the row usng the shortcut it is not working. I hope I am being clear enough. I really need this to work as our Pastor is not happy with using an inset of the PowerPoint slides we use during the service for the congregation.

Have you referenced the shortcut to the NAME of the data source table like Excle/CSV or one you created ?

Hi,
As doggy mentioned, you need to use the name of your data source. So, your value should be:
Excel/CSV,Sheet1
Regards,
Lou
