wchung,


In your scenario, please uninstall publisher for excel in control panel, reboot your machine and re-install Excel publisher. Make sure that you installl the correct version of publisher(32 bit/64 bit). If you still get issues, please post the full error message.

Alternatively, you can use Analyze in Excel feature instead to view and interact with Power BI dataset in Excel.

Regards,
Lydia

Hi Lydia,

 

I followed your instructions but still no luck with the issue. I'm still not able to see the Excel add-in. Below is the screen after I re-installed (publisher add-in not available in Excel) and the error message when I try to use the report (unable to connect to data source).

 

Thanks for your help.

      It's Excel 2013 (15.0.4953.1000).

       

      When I use Analyze in Excel from BI screen, it opens up Excel and display the same error message I posted.

       

      Thanks.
