Dear All,

Does anyone know if the EPM Add-in works with the latest version of Excel (2016) ?

If so, as of which patch number ?

Thank you very much for your replies.

Hello Marc,

Could you please confirm if this answer is still valid ? One of our user is experiencing issues while using EPM with MS Office 2016.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

Do you have problems with SP24 and Office 2016?

On my PC, the sheet options do not look right. Do you experience the same?

Do you also experience this error when you try to open the EPM Add-in from the web admin on BPC 10.1.

Well, the issue with the "Sheet Options" is related to screen resolution & zooming issue.

Loic/Marc,

I just installed EPM Add-in with SP24 on Excel 2016 and it works just fine.  I know few of my colleagues who installed SP23 on Excel 2016 and even that works fine.  I know the EPM Add-In installations guide mentions about not supporting, etc.  but ignore that.  Just download the EPM Add-In and install it and will work just fine.

Hope it works for you as well.
