For reference the offending PCs are using MS Office Home and Business 2013 – Version 15.0.4551.1512

Various datecodes of MathCAD are in use including (M030 [MC15_M030_20131216])

Mathcad 15 supports Excel 2007 and earlier versions of Excel, but I do not believe it has been tested for Excel 2013.

Unfortunately I believe you will continue to run into trouble trying to get Excel 2013 and Mathcad 15 to work in harmony.

The Excel addin is/was written by mathcad employees, rather than PTC corporate.

I've had it confirmed that it (the add-in) does not work with Excell 2010 (and Mathcad 15)

Thank you both for your quick response.

I had a feeling the issue would end up along those lines, looks like we may have to find a different solution.

Go back to office 2007 - that would be ideal!

Unfortunately from what I understand (not really my area) we are not able to retrograde our machines to previous versions of office. In some ways it's a pity, the few laptops around running older version of office are becoming a bit of a commodity!

Our company is about to roll out office 2013, which is going to cause great pain. Hopefully Prime 4.0 can be the solution.

On the whole I've enjoyed office 2013 once once I found all the buttons again, the MathCAD issue on the other hand has been a real problem, increasingly so as more upgrade office. I'd be interested to know how you get on with Prime, we considered it some time ago (before I joined) and it lacked some functionality, I am wondering if these functions have been included and our excel issues could be resolved?

I currently use Prime 3.0 and it is still missing key features from M15, which will hopefully be included in Prime 4.0. People have reported issues when converting worksheets, so you might also have issues if you have complex worksheets.

I believe Prime 4.0 will be compatible with the latest versions of Excel.
