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
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
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...
It also fixed the problem for me. Thanks :-)

OMG Thank you admincarsten. You are a genius!
Hannah,
See the other responses. You have misconstrued the problem. It is not a VB programming issue. It is a bug in the latest update to Excel for Mac 365. PLEASE FIX IT.
Thanks,
Agreed. But, then, every software company today automatically blames anything that’s wrong with the last POS **** they have sent out automatically through the cloud on somebody else. Witness the insane garbage that is currently Outlook on Macs. .
