Visual Basic runtime error 1004 after updating Excel for Mac 365 yesterday

Anonymous

I updated Excel for Mac (365) yesterday. I now get a pop up that says:

                            Visual Basic for Applications

Run-time error '1004':

Method 'Name" of object 'Addin' failed.

Help End

When I click End, Excel seems to work ok, but I'm not sure whether this VB error will cause problems with my complex spreadsheets.

It seems the update either (a) has a bug, or (b) didn't load correctly (although it verified itself before opening after the update).

How can I delete Excel and re-download it?

Thanks

    It seems that the add-in "Acrobatexceladdin" is the problem (for me).

    No more error for me after i disabled that under Tools -> Excel Add-ins...

    Dear Hannah Z - I have the same problem and you answer was not helpful. I went to Stack Overflow to post and could not find anything there. Can you please be more clear how to fix this error.

    Thanks Alex

    Same problem here after updating to Excel 16.89.

    It is not a programming question, it happens every time Excel app is opened, even with just a blank new file.

    You're a genius, thank you @admincarsten. That fixed it for me too.

    I have to say, I'm shocked at the shoddy response from Microsoft to the OP.
