How to fix Data Model is preventing Microsoft Excel from opening worksheet

Hi Jamil! Thanks for the details.

Make sure you’re using a version of Excel that supports Data Models for example: Excel 2013 and later support Power Pivot/Data Model natively.

Also check for updates if there's any:

• Go to File → Account → Update Options → Update Now.

If it's updated, try to open Excel in Safe Mode

Press Windows + R, type:

excel /safe

Open the workbook in Safe Mode.

If it opens, the issue may be caused by add-ins. Disable add-ins:

• File → Options → Add-ins → COM Add-ins → Go → uncheck all → OK.

Re-check the add-ins one by one until you find the culprit.

Best regards,

Kimberly
