    Use an Online Repair of Office to fix this error, as it indicates corrupted Office/Excel components.

    Follow these steps:

    1. Close all Office apps (Excel, Word, Outlook, etc.).
    2. Open Settings in Windows.
    3. Go to Apps → Installed apps.
    4. Find Microsoft 365 (or Office) in the list.
    5. Select the three dots (…) → Modify.
    6. Choose Online Repair and confirm.
      • Let the repair run to completion; it can take 15–30 minutes.
    7. Restart the PC after the repair finishes.
    8. Open Excel and verify that it starts and works normally.

    If the problem persists across all Office apps even after Online Repair, completely uninstall Office from Apps & Features/Installed apps, remove any remaining Office folders and related registry keys as described in the referenced guidance, restart the computer, and then reinstall Microsoft 365.
