Compile Error
I regularly create CPRs using Excel. This has always worked just fine, then the other day it suddenly stopped working and Excel gave me the following error message: "Compile error in hidden module: cpInterview. This error commonly occurs when code is incompatible with the version, platform, or architecture of this application. Click 'Help' for information on how to correct this error." I did click "Help" and a brief article popped up that did not help me resolve this issue. I don't understand why my report worked one day and then suddenly didn't work the next day. That makes no sense to me. I contacted Microsoft and they were completely useless, said this wasn't in their scope and there was nobody who could help me from their end. That also makes no sense to me since this is a Microsoft issue, but they told me to post in this online forum to try to seek help from other users. Does anybody know why this error suddenly happened and, more importantly, how to fix it??? I heavily rely on the CPR function to do my job and this is causing me a lot of hardship.
I have Microsoft Office Home 2024 running on a Windows 11 HP Laptop. Thank you!

I can't speak for others, but I for one did not know what CPR meant in the context of using Excel. Cardio-Pulmonary-Resuscitation certainly didn't seem to fit. An AI query via Google showed several different possible definitions in connection with Excel.
Financial analysis: Conditional Prepayment Rate (CPR)
Technical analysis: Central Pivot Range (CPR)
Marketing analytics: Cost Per Result (CPR)
Cost of Production Report
Contract Performance Report
Contract Performance Report
You could help us help you by clarifying how YOU are using the acronym.
It is Certified P*y***l Report. I originally had that in my post, but Microsoft was censoring me and would not allow me to include that verbiage in my post. Basically, QB (another censored word, lol) exports a Certified P*y***l Report to Excel, which has always worked beautifully, but now, for some unexplained reason out of the blue, it doesn't work and Excel gives me that error message.
