Excel export error

Hi, my dynamo script was working perfectly last night. i didn’t make any changes, and i am now having issues exporting data to and empty excel file. I don’t see whats the issue. I tried to just add a string to the excel sheet and still nothing its helping. I notice that excel is not opening once the script finished running. Any ideas if there is a excel security thats preventing it? let me know, thanks.

Likely your excel installation has been corrupted. Microsoft tends to do so with their updates, even when installing completely unrelated components.

Try their online repair tool, or switch to the OpenXML based excel nodes.

Thank you Jacob. The solution works. I also found and explanation on the issue for other users that encounter this problem.
