Excel 2016 incompatible

Hello,

I downloaded Office Business 2016 and I'm having trouble uploading Excel files to Studio 2014. I read many threads saying that you need to download Studio 2015 in order to use Office 2016. However, Word 2016 is compatible as long as a change .docx into .doc. Why isn't Excel also compatible when I change the files from .xls and .xlsx? Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

  • Hi Paul!

    My joy did not last long. The trick with template folder deletion in SDL Studio 2017 worked only for less than a day. Now the issue returned and whenever I try to save XLSX target file I get the error "object reference not set to an instance of an object" just as before. This does not happen with legacy XLS format. To overcome this I save the XLSX as XLS and then translate in Studio 2017. If I delete the project templates folder it will solve the issue temporarily and I'll loose file format and TM settings in Studio. It is now obvious that this issue emerges when I change XLSX file format parsing settings in SDL Studio 2017. For instance instead of default row-by-row behavior I choose translation by columns... However the same settings do no harm to the legacy XLS handler, only to XSLSX...
