Improve Error Dialog When Element Attribute Path Length is too long

e.g Current Value, When Selecting an attribute whose path length > 255 characters, throws an Excel Error "Unable to Set the FormulaArray Property of the Range Class". 255 characters is an excel limitation, Datalink should not allow such a selection and throw a more human readable error or refer to an ID in the formula cell

    I would think that avoiding errors like this would be a higher priority. Will you reconsider this suggestion?
