Re: What 'configuration' do I use for a Excel sheet in a column?
Of course, the problem would go away if I could create multiple file list column sets and define which folder, or which file type each was used with, but it seems that if I create a second file list it just overrides the first - only the latest file list is effective.
Is there any way around this?

well - this would be more of a patch, not a solution - but couldn't you make 2 description columns?

Yes, I could.. but the real estate is already limited. I am (cautiously) optimistic about a better solution. Perhaps I will try some potential wildcards in the configuration list later...

It looks like there's no way to do this specifically. I'll have to keep futzing with the properties to see if I can get the Explorer display to 'choose' the right configuration when I leave the setting to 'Look for variable in all configurations'.

Re: What 'configuration' do I use for a Excel sheet in a column?
Well, this has turned out to be remarkably frustrating... it seems that when you set the column to look in all configurations, it essentially grabs one at random. Some files it grabs the Default config, other basically identical files it will grab some other config. I've seen it treat the exact same file in two different ways on two different days, when no changes have been made in the interim...WTH?
There's got to be some character or code I can put in the list of configs that tells the column to get the info from files that don't use configurations... someone else must have run into this wall before.

After putting out many other fires, I called my (incredibly helpful) VAR support tech, and she pointed me to the answer, which I somehow missed before (pretty obvious to me now - DOH!)
When you click the '+' button to add a configuration to look into, one of the options is to read variables from files that do not have configurations. Just what I wanted, and right in front of my eyes... guess I need new glasses!!
My support tech mentioned that when using this feature, the <Files without configurations> value should be at the top of the list, before any specific configs are listed.
