Problem getting ##HD to work to get a quote line into a new spreadsheet

Hi,

I'm on the latest version of SC (New Spreadsheets), I have created a new spreadsheet and followed this instruction given by Sierra:

"Go to cell A1 on a sheet in the Spreadsheet and enter ##HD in that cell. This will give you a header line describing each quote column."

When I do this, nothing happens, per the attached screenshot.

I have instead tried turning it into a quote spreadsheet using the right click and choosing quote spreadsheet but this has the problem of turning all sheets in the spreadsheet into quote spreadsheets, which I do not want.

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong please ?

##HD is for Old Spreadsheets and we need to update the documentation. This will be done later today.

You do need to set it to be a Quote Spreadsheet which will do this for all Sheets. But we will see if we can limit that.

+1 for limiting the quote spreadsheet to a quote sheet. I need to use currency quotes for sizing purposes inside a spreadsheet study and do not want all sheets to be turned into quote sheets. I could do what I need if references were allowed to different spreadsheets, but as they are not, please make this possible. Thank you.

We will work on limiting Spreadsheet >> Quote Spreadsheet to the individual sheets.
