Cannot run the macro 'SOLVER.XLAM!GetSolverLabel'.

Hi,

 

I need to use the solver add-in for my studies. However, Every time I try to use it I get an error: "Cannot run the macro 'SOLVER.XLAM!GetSolverLabel'. The macro may not be avaliable in this workbook or all macros may be disabled."

 

Even if I uninstalled Office products on my PC, the error was not solved.

 

I will be glad if you solve this problem.

 

Thanks,

  • I've recently encountered a similar issue with Solver. Uninstalling and installing office 365 did not work. The issue I think was caused by 32bit vs 64bit incompatibility yet when I checked office, windows, and my laptop they were all 64bit. Then once, when I was uninstalling MS office I noticed that there was another office app that came with my laptop called "WPS Office" which is freeware shipped with Asus. Since I was not using it, I decided to uninstall it. And voila that made solver work again.

      uninstalling WPS Office did solve the SOLVER problem. 64bit of Office version is not the problem.
      国内的朋友们 如果要用规划求解请卸载WPS吧 确实干扰了

    I am not used to use "Solver.xlam" but it is related to add-ins. You may go to Option --> Add-Ins to see if it is enabled or not.

    Has anyone helped to solve this issue?
    My exams are approaching and I still haven't solved this issue, have tried to re-install 4 times already, nothing is changing.
