Hi Satish,

I've gone thru the links you've shared. Thanks for these.

I've done the following:

1. Uninstalled IBP EXCEL ADDON 06_070000182

2. Checked if I had .Net framework 4

3. Reinstalled the IBP Addon

4. Tried enabling com add-in - GOT run time error as the status

5. Referred to the following thread: http://scn.sap.com/message/3678736

6. In REGEDIT , set the load value to 3 as advised (refer screenshot)

I've tried numerous things such as restart of system after making changes, closing all other office software etc as mentioned in the links you've shared.

It still doesn't work. Please advise on what could be the issue. Below is a screenshot of the registry editor changes I've made.

Hello

Were you on another lower plugin release before you tried to install the "IBP EXCEL ADDON 06_070000182"? What is this release?

Hi YS,

I was not able to activate the first excel addin as well. I uninstalled it and tried installing this version given by my team.

In all cases I've faced the same problem.

The Excel Add-in does not activate. Setting REGEDIT load behaviour to 3 also did not solve the problem. I have . Net Framework 4 on my system.

Can you advise on what could be the issue here.

Best Regards,

Arindam

Hi Arindam,

Please check if IBP Add-In is not in DISABLE state in Excel. To do that follow below path -

Open Excel, Goto File Menu --> Options --> Add-Ins --> Manage --> Disabled Items --> Go --> Select IBP Add-In --> Enable

Usually this happens after excel session has closed unexpectedly.

Additionally on the same above path, please select COM Add-ins -> Ensure that IBP Add-in for Ms-Excel is CHECKED.

Both above settings are important for IBP Add-in Ribbon to be visible in Excel.

Hope this will help.

Thank you
