tsanchai Same problem here this morning with auto-updated Excel 16.58.22011705. I'd welcome advice as to how to revert to version 16.58.22011201 in the meantime whilst the bug is fixed please.
- tsanchaiJan 19, 2022Copper ContributorIn my case, I restore Microsoft Excel from my Time Machine backup and it work fine. Hope this help
- DTForrestJan 19, 2022Copper ContributorHi,
This worked for me:
- Download Microsoft_Office_16.57.22011101_installer.pkg from Office.
- Move Excel to Trash.
- Open Installer, Customise to install Excel only.
Excel works fine after that. Version 16.57.22011101.
Please note that if you update Excel on the Beta Channel, it will go to 16.58.22011705 and “Microsoft Excel can’t be opened."- CBSewell239Jan 19, 2022Copper Contributor
