Error while installing Power Query addin for excel 2013

Hi,

I am getting the below error, while trying to install Power Query plugin for Excel 2013.

But I already have Office 2013 installed in my machine. I have installed/enabled other addins(PowerMap, View etc) without any issues. Can someone suggest what might be wrong ?

 

Thanks

Antony.

You are most likely attempting to install the 64bit version of Power Query onto a 32bit Excel version. Please check your Excel bit version and, if it is a 32bit version, download the 32bit PowerQuery version (you can choose the bit version as a download option on the Microsoft download site)

Did you run an 32bit office version..?

 

 

open Excel -> File -> Account - > ( lower left ) About Excel ...Check the bit version
