Cannot install addins
I am a Microsoft 365 Personal user. When I try to add the Claude for Excel Addin (for the Desktop version of Excel), I get an error: "Error loading add-ins. One or more add-ins failed to load. See your add-ins.". However, this is not specific to the Claude addin, since every addin gives the same error. When I click on the My-Addins option and then "refresh", I get another error: "Access denied to catalog." Signing in and out of Office does not fix the issue. Clearing the Office 365 cache did not fix the problem. The issue extends to Powerpoint and Word as well. I cannot add any addins to the web versions of Office either. Interestingly, if I download an XML manifest file, I can use the "Manage my addins" option in the web versions of Office 365 to manually add the addins. But still no luck with the Desktop versions. Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this? Do I need to manually reinstall Office 365? I also noticed that the "Get Add-ins" button in "Account" settings is disabled.
Excel rewrites my hyperlinks to sharepoint
Hi, I transfered all my work files to OneDrive and encountered an issue. I use excel spreadsheets for worklist, where I use hyperlinks for pics, drawings etc for each workpiece we are currently working on. With my previous cloud service, everything was working fine. Hyperlinks used relative path, so no matter which PC I used, it all opened nicely. Now with everything being on OneDrive, excel automatically rewrote all of my hyperlinks (about 2000 of them) to sharepoint. Everything now opens with browser. Filetypes that can't be opened want to be downloaded even though I have them stored offline localy. Is there a way to stop these hyperlink changes? Excel Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > External Content > "Disable automatic update of Workbook Links" is checked. When I copy the hyperlinks from the original file, they get automatically changed in the new one. When I re-link in the new file to the local file, it opens the local file and works fine. When I close Excel, open it, link is changed again to sharepoint. This is so frustrating.
Disable incessant nagware popups
I don't know about everyone else, but I am sick and tired of the nagware pop ups in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc. Every single product harasses me with pop ups trying to tell me "hey, did you know this feature was here?", "you can do this if you click that", "let me hold your hand through using products you've used for decades even though you don't want daddy Microslop to do that". This is a prime example. I keep getting the same ones again and again and again and everything I've read indicates they should only appear once. But they don't. They keep coming back like a psychotic stalker ex who wants alimony even though you were never married. How do I get this nagware to stop?!
Publish an Excel Add-in by just submitting the add-in manifest to Microsoft Marketplace
I am working on Excel Add-in built using the react template. We are planning to host the add-in code on our domain and update the manifest to point to the URL for our domain. Can I just submit the add-in manifest to Microsoft to publish it in Microsoft Marketplace?Macro Dummy
I have written a Macro and it doesn't run the way it is designed and I am having problems finding my error. How would I solicit help here? I've written Excel macros for years but this one has me stumped. Probably easy for the geeks here.. I have a workbook with several tabs and then a report tab at the end. I want to identify the search criteria at in one cell and then go search in another tab in a certain row. When it finds the match it should then go down the associated column a specific number of cells and copy the contents of that cell. Then it should go back to the reports tab and paste it in a specified location. here is my macro...
Excel Power Query crashing 0xC000026F
Hi, I have the same error that was already reported by other users 0xC000026F. Since today, I have an error when I try to create a new “basic query” or if I try to refresh an existing one which was working fine last week (on January 22 it was still working fine). Error Message: Container unexpectedly exited. Exit code: 0xC000026F. PID: 19148 … From what I see my Excel is Version 2512 (build 19530.20184) from 21 January 2026… I am wondering if it is this update which crash PQ ? I have already tried: sfc /scannow then dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth Without success… Any help would be appreciated. Regards,Web-Addins stopped working for Office apps version 16.100 for Mac
Dear experts, Since version 16.100, the web add-in functionality has stopped working with the Office apps for Mac (PowerPoint, Word and Excel). In may case, Templafy web add-in is not being loaded. According to Templafy's support page: https://support.templafy.com/hc/en-us/articles/29028257609501-Templafy-Web-Add-ins-no-longer-accessible-on-Mac-after-Microsoft-Office-update-16-99 this seems to be a bigger issue. Clearing web add-in cache or deleting the WEF folder will not resolve the issue. I have also tried with a full clean uninstallation of Office365 apps and re-installation, same issue. Note that New Outlook for Mac is not affected, just PowerPoint, Excel and Word.Why is Excel macros sometimes missing ?
I have an excel file with a lot of rectangular shapes showing a tree structure for a family. When the user clicks on one of the rectangulat shapes the 'story' of that person opens up in a Word dokument. BUT ... Most often the macro 'assigned' to the OnAction WONT run - instead this message comes up: The macros is NOT shown when I "show macros" but it IS present in the VBA section when I press alt+F11 ! When it's working it's most often reight after a reboot og the machine - then it maybe works in 10-30 minuts and then the problem is back again ! I HAVE chesked the security setting allowing macros to be activated ! I have tha SAME file running under Window 10 for years WITHOUT any problems !!!! I can see out there that people FOR YEARS have had similar problems with missing macros - but unfortunately I found no solution ! What the _BEEP_ is wrong here ?
