Error openning workbook. Make sure Excel is installed

Question

I am using IUpath studio and working with excel file. However, when i try to run, there is an error : "Error openning workbook. Make sure Excel is installed "

I have excel installed in my PC. I also installed excel in another version. But it still error. Do you have any idea why and what is the solution?

Answer 1

Add Excel path to windows environment and restart your session.

Add path to windows 10

Answer 2

I contacted UiPath regarding this issue after trying everything mentioned here as well: https://forum.uipath.com/t/error-opening-workbook-make-sure-excel-is-installed/15009

Their other solution, apart from fixing the registry (which was fine for me), was to perform a full online repair for Office (I was only able to do a quick repair on my laptop) and that fixed this error.
