Has anybody else had issues with the write to excel node not working with Excel 2016?

Everything was working fine with Excel 2013…then I upgraded. I get the following error.

Are you using 32 bit or 64 bit operating system?

Which software bit of excel 2016 you installed 32 bit or 64 bit?

Hey Garret,

I think the reason is your using 64 bit operating system but you installed **office 32 bit.** You need to install **64 bit office 2016.** Good Luck!
