Question about Publisher (Vesrion 1 or Version 2)

[Gnobelix]

Hello everyone,
I have a question about Affinity Publisher.
I'm using a database, from which some data is exported to Excel.
The Excel table is used for data merging in Publisher.
Certain data should only be output once, for example,
the year, the number of cards, etc. Other data such as name,
first name, place of residence, etc., will be output as a list on the pages.
I've designed the layout on the master page. Fields that are to be output only once are also on the master page,
while all other data will be output on the pages. In the preview, everything looks as desired.
However, when I try to print or export the file,
then I receive the following warning messages.
No Data Sours covers the Page where Field "Jahr" is used.
What am I doing wrong?
If I ignore the warning messages, everything is output as expected.

Cheers

Can you attach the excel file as well as Publisher (only example, not original)? Or at least show screenshots with layers.

Hello into,

unfortunately, I only have the file for Publisher Beta left, I deleted the others a little prematurely. The Excel file only has fantasy names, but the same structure as the original file.

 

Cheers

You are doing everything right. This is a message from the master page because the data source is deleted after the data merge. If you want to make sure, add the data source again and the message will disappear.
