Solid Edge Compatibility of Microsoft Office 365 Business Versions with Solid Edge

Users of Solid Edge inquire about the compatibility of Microsoft Office 365 Business versions with Solid Edge, particularly concerning functionality reliant on Excel integration such as Excel links in Variable Tables and "Curve by table."

To ensure full functionality of Excel integration features within Solid Edge, it is necessary to install a desktop version of Microsoft Office 365. This requirement applies to all desktop-enabled variants of Office 365 Business, including:

• Microsoft Office 365 Business Standard

• Microsoft Office 365 Business Premium

• Microsoft Office 365 Business Apps

These versions support the installation of Excel locally, which is essential for seamless operation with Solid Edge's Excel-dependent features.

Additional Considerations:

Using the web-only version of Microsoft Office 365 Business (Microsoft Office 365 Business Base) may not provide adequate performance for Solid Edge's requirements, especially if network speed is limited.

For optimal performance and compatibility:

Install one of the desktop-enabled Microsoft Office 365 Business versions.

Ensure Excel is locally installed to utilize Excel-linked functionalities in Solid Edge.
