Get error Missing activeX component Business Explorer Global Services. Excel 2013 SAP 750

I'm trying to get SAP to send a report to Excel 2013 but keep getting the error Missing activeX component Business Explorer Global Services.

Someone mentioned that this will only work with Excel 2010 , which I find odd, but then again this IS Microsoft!

What can I do other than downgrade excel to get it working?

Excel Version:       Excel (15.0.5059)       2013
Windows Version:       Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (7601)
Default Browser:       Internet Explorer (11.0.9600.19101)
SAP GUI:       720 Patch 15

Thanks

Well I sort of have a solution, but not one I want really. They said I have to install Excel 2010! I'll keep both installed as I only need the SAP ActiveX component occasionally! I was going to leave the question open for a while in case someone had a solution better that the ridiculous Idea of installing an older version!

thanks

OK , just checked , it is the 720 patch 15 that is correct and the version of office is 32bit!

Migration to a higher level is out of the question, so I guess rolling back my Excel to 2010 is the only real solution for now!

Thanks

Thanks guys! I put in a request to install Office 2010 but the IT group said it was discontinued and have to put in a SPECIAL request for non standard software which I was told will take a month! LOL

I'll see if I can hurry thing along!
