Hi @yogitagaikwad2206

That error is not because of the enable editing, there is a problem with the software that allows UiPath to communicate with excel. Go to the home tab of UiPath studio and under tools there should be a “Repair tool for Microsoft Office Interop” as it says in the message, utilize that tool to try to repair the connectivity.

Error opening workbook. If Excel is installed, run the ‘Repair Tool for Microsoft Office Interop’ from the Tools tab on the Home screen - Help / Activities - UiPath Community Forum

Try with this one:
