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...
Also fixed the issue for me. Some one needs to get this Acrobat add-in bug corrected.
Hi Hannah,
I think the one marked as answer should be the second post, the one marked now doesn't provide any solution.
Just if it is easy to change :)
Take care!
your guidance worked! thanks.

I had the same problem after a resent MFST Auto update. Disabling the "Acrobatexceladdin" under Tools -> Excel Add-ins... fixed the issue. No more error!
