Cyclone V Early Power Estimator not opening

[seaharrier]

I have downloaded the Early Power Estimator (EPE) for Cyclone V FPGA devices family from the Intel website, link: https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/652737

The Excel file is showing corrupted, and whatever I do it is not opening.

Please help me open the excel file, or provide the latest stable version of the EPE.

Thanks.

What version of Excel/Office are you using to open it?

Hello,

Regarding your issue. Please follow the steps below :

Microsoft has released an update to fix this issue, please go to the corresponding Microsoft Support Page based on your Excel version:

·        Excel 2013*: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2920754

If the above update doesn't fix the issue, or if you do not have access to these updates, try the following workaround steps:

1.   Reboot the computer if you've installed the above update.

2.   Close all Microsoft Office applications including the Excel* and Word* applications.

3.   Open a Windows* Explorer, and enter "%temp%" (without quotes) into the address bar.

4.   Press "Ctrl" + "F" and enter ".exd" (without quotes) into the search box.

5.   If any files with extension ".exd" are found, select and delete ALL the files that are found.

6.   Next, enter "%appdata%" (without quotes) into the address bar. Again, press "Ctrl" + "F" and search for ".exd", and delete ALL the files that are found.

7.   Reopen the EPE.

If the issues remain, follow these steps:

1.   Launch the EPE tool, go to File -> Info-> Compatibility Mode, and click Convert.

2.   If a pop-up appears, click OK to proceed with conversion, and then click Yes to reopen the workbook.

The previous steps convert the original ".xls" EPE file into a ".xlsm" file. The newly created file should not exhibit the original issue.
