I am attempting to run an Add-in called Principal Components in Excel 2016 on a Mac. I'm getting the following error message and can't seem to resolve it. Can anyone help? Thanks tons!
The file comes from the Downloads published for this book (go to url):
A family of Microsoft spreadsheet software with tools for analyzing, charting, and communicating data.

Hi CassandraMoorePhD,
According to the error, the add-in is incompatible with Excel 2016 for Mac. As the add-in is published four years ago, you may need to contact the publisher to find out whether there is an updated version or you may need to find a new add-in which has the similar function.
Thanks,
Ran

The error message usually displays when you try to run a 32-bit version of code in current Office for Mac, which is 64-bit. The code has to be updated.
Using VBA is one way. See this:

Thanks everyone. I'm trying a different solution as the author of the book doesn't want to make the code Mac compatible.
I'm looking at Solver right now to see if I can do a cluster analysis. If anyone has suggestions I'd certainly appreciate them!
