I’m going to go out on a limb and guess this might be due to the typical repair issue. It looks like you’re using Revit 2023 so try the XML alternative node instead which is in that build of Dynamo. Also you can try my Import Excel nodes in Crumple which I made to solve similar issues: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/2/3/23a65374b2131c8df2cd629ede1da9dc5285d6f3.png) ---

I would assume that the problem lies with your Office installation. Have you tried reinstalling your Office ? ---

Hrm bummer. Seems like there’s a few things that prevent the excel nodes, I’ve had mixed results depending on install states of Excel. Ah well, glad you got it to work! ---

Yeah I’ve seen office installations as well as a certain version of navisworks causing the issue. ---

I had the same problem and fixed it by going to the extension tab en selecting Workspace References and was told DynamoIronPython was not installed, Installed it and it worked.
