I joined through Patreon to get the latest version and any fixes like adding siblings, and yet i see here that over 2 years ago and that had not been added, at least in the free file that I downloaded yesterday and also the one listed here, which neither work at all on any new families or members. click on any member old or new in the Johnson family it gives the message "Please make sure to move the family member on to the tree" this happens as soon as you click on it, even before releasing the mouse, if you wanted to edit it you cant, you cant drag it either as no shape box opens, I have watched the video over and over, checking line by line the code on the screen and the code in the workbook, it looks exact, could it be a version change of Excel? where is the siblings addon as stated on the youtube channel?

Excel For Freelancers

Hi Mark, thanks very much for your comment and request. I did add the ability to add siblings on the update. That update can be found here in this post https://www.patreon.com/posts/family-tree-gold-69162255 (the post you are commenting on is not the update as this is the Early Access post, so we make several posts per training to make sure you have all) I hope this helps. Should you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

I don't see any option to add more than 1 sibling at any level. How can we add 2 or more siblings to a couple, and what if siblings have different parents

Excel For Freelancers

Hi Bent, thanks for the comment. There are no options to add siblings on this version. Did not have enough time, however I would recommend challenging yourself to create that option. This one covers most basic family tree options which is about all i could do in a few days time. Could be quite powerful with more time and features added. I would love to see what you can do with this.
