Hello,
I created a GT Title title with 2 texts.
These texts are linked to a column of an Excel file with the vMix data source.

For one of the texts, it displays the text of the selected line, that's good.
On the other hand, for the second text, I would like it to display the next line from the selected one.
I can't find how to do this.

Anyone have an idea?

By default, data sources use columns, not rows. You can change that in the data source preferences.

Thank you for your reply.
In fact, the Excel file is a registration list.
In my GT Title, I want to indicate the current person (line that I select manually), but also the next person (therefore next line).

In your data source manager, go to settings, and check convert rows to collumns.

to add to Vince's response

from the helpfiles

Convert rows to columns: Ticking this box will group all rows in the data source into a single row, numbering the column names in the process. For example a spreadsheet
with Name and Description and 3 rows will become Name1, Description1, Name2, Description2, Name3, Description3 with all data contained in a single row.

if that doesn't suit you one can always revert to using some script

Thank you for your answers.

I tried the option to convert to row, but it's not manageable with 26 columns. Then I can no longer choose the current person easily (manual selection).
I don't know if a script can do this?

All I need is that when I choose a line, the Gt Title shows me the chosen line and the next line (+1)

Why not use excel for it? Add new column that references next line? Done.
