The dreaded "Cannot connect to Microsft Excel..."

Hello everyone,

 

First time back in a couple of years apart from the sporadic visit. I am upgrading to SAP Dashoards 4.1 and currently running the SP5 trial.

 

After trying a couple of templates to make sure all was ok, and it seemed to work fine, I first got a runtime error. Now I get the dreaded 3Cannot connect to Microsoft Excel...programme must close." error. I was running Dashboards standalone, as Admin. I don't seem to be able to get back in.

 

I am finding it difficult to find my way around the forum format, but I did do a search and found a post that suggested Office 2013 was the issue (supposedly to be solved in SP5 but it obviously hasn't been) and it was best to downgrade Office. Surely there must be a more up to date answer.

 

Would you please let me know what I should do? Or of course, point me in the direction of a prior post (I will get to grips with the way the forum displays and the search function, I promise).

 

Thank you for your suggestions.
