Startup will be in your language. Open Excel. Change Excel’s Preferences-General: At startup open All files in: Documents: QIMacros: xlstart (It is not a good idea to have this alternate startup directory point to Applications:Microsoft Office 2011:Office:Oppstart:Excel as Excel may try to open the file twice.).

This is due to either a OS install error or a Microsoft install error. To troubleshoot this issue, you will need to reinstall Microsoft Excel, as the VBA was not correctly included during initial Excel installation. If after Excel reinstall, the error message continues to show, this means the VBA has still not been included w/ the Excel install, as the Excel installer has been corrupted. You will then need to reinstall your OS to have Microsoft install correctly.
