Linked Table Missing a Column!

This is really weird and this is the first time that it has happened to me.

I have a linked excel table in the database with 10 columns. The last
column's name is 'Price'. It is a very simple table and it used to work
perfectly. Now when I open the table in access, I dont' see data in the
column 'Price'. it just gives me a blank column. I tried to relink it and
it looks fine when it goes through the process of asking me if the first row
is a column name row and the like but lo and behold, the data in the last
column disappears after that. I tried moving the columns so 'Price' is now
column 1 and found that it seems to follow that specific column (Price).

Any ideas? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
 
1. Make sure that the Price column isn't hidden in either the database or
spreadsheet.

2. Rename Price to something like Prices then delete the link and create a
newer one. I've seen stranger stuff.

3. Create a new spreadsheet and import everything into it. Link to the new
spreadsheet.

4. For testing purposes create a new database and link the the spreadsheet.
Does it work there? If so your original database could be corrupt.
 
Thanks Jerry. Putting the data in a new spreadsheet solved the issue! Who
would have thought!
