  • 1.  Excel addin Query Error:

    Posted Aug 01, 2015 02:46 PM
    I log onto Rally, connect Excel to Rally, and point to my selected Workspace & Project. Then I Run Selected Query (a query I have been using successfully for months on various Projects).  A Query Error window pops up with the following message: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System._ComObject' to interface type 'Micorsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet'. this operation failed because the QueryInterface call of the COM component for the interface with IID '{000208D8-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' failed due to the following error: No suuch interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).

    Hi Ron,
    One of my colleagues faced this EXACT issue, and here's the email from Rally Support on fixing the issue; hope this helps you:

    -------------

    Thank you for contacting Rally Customer Support regarding the error with the Excel Plugin. 

    This error in Microsoft Excel is either caused by a faulty program or inconsistencies in the Windows Registry. 

    As the plugin has worked for you before, and is still working for us here, I believe there are inconsistencies in your Windows Registry, that would cause this. To fix this, please try the following: 

    - Run the Repair option for MS Office:
