Im trying to create some points with excel in dynamo. I dont have excel installed, but I tried to use google spreadsheets instead and download the excel format. Now dynamo is showing me the error: excel not installed.
Does excel really need to be installed on my computer to read this file, if so why is that?
Yes. This is because excel uses a whole bunch of code to read and write the data to xlsx format. It’s just like how you need Revit installed to read Revit data via Dynamo.
Try saving as a .csv instead, as there are nodes for that which don’t require any other installations.
Did you success to resolve this question? I have no idea about this same question on my computer.
I have excel in my computer, the version is 2016. my Dynamo version is 2017.
I tried to save as .csv and .xls, however, it is not working…
Thanks for your suggestion. I will post a new topic.
Byt the way, I ignore that post is the wrong input on yesterday. That is another test. I have tried to use .csv function to do it, is succeeded. however, the Excel file is still can’t.
the error is Warning: Excel.ReadFromFile operation failed.
Excel is not installed.
but I really have excel in my computer.
Excel version is 2016. Dynamo is 2017.
