unlinking/cleaning data eliminates entries

i have noticed that unlinking data or using @clear for frmls selectively eliminates all the entries; this was not the case previously (the macro i use for this proceedure is years old); what is so confusing is that there seems not to be a pattern when something will be erased or not;
to replicate the problem goto the export worksheet open e.g. all y_m_cbrate_us_* as group and look at all the data, run the command unlink * ; after that the entry y_m_cbrate_us_fcw will disappear; note, this is also the case when using @clear for each single entry if used in a macro; if you do it selectively - i.e. goto the individual series and unlink it manually by putting it back to values, it will keep the values in the series;

Sorry, but I'm not sure what you meant by "export worksheet". Was it one of our example files? If so, what was the name of the file?

Otherwise, I can't seem to recreate your issue.

sorry, just noticed that the file upload did not work; the file is too large; is it possible to send it in another way?
