My excel was working just fine until I did the 8.1 update. Microsoft needs to correct this problem. I cannot access information vital to me.
The automatic update foor Office 2013 deployed by Microsoft yesterday completely destroyed the functionality of Office 2013 everywhere. It also destroyed the functionality of the office uninstaller/repair utility.
The only known solution available at this point is a complete uninstall and reinstall of Office products. Since the normal uninstaller does not work, you have to download a standalone "Office killer" utility from Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501
Use that utility to completely remove Office 2013 from your computer and then reinstall it the usual way. This will make it work. Of course, it is strongly recommended to immediately disable the automatic updates for Office products (see File -> Account menu, right-hand side).
This problem came after 15.0.4569.1508 update on 18.03.2014 and I couldn't resolve it with the recommendations you made so far. I desperately need Office since I am a finance guy. Microsoft need to resolve this issue immediately!!!!!
I am using win 8.1 and Office 2013 pro.
Only Microsoft antivirus and firewall. No other software.
Firewall & antivirus disabled, still got the same error message
