Report Builder - Segment Control - Macro Error

I am using Report Builder 5.0 in Excel 2013 on a Windows machine. 

I created a drop down control which contains my segments. I've linked the drop down to the data set as the segment source, but when I select a segment from the drop down...I get a macro error.

My macro settings are wide open in Excel, so could Report Builder cause this error?

 

Steps to duplicate:

  1. Create a new data request showing top 10 pages by pageviews for yesterday. Click next, ok.
  2. Create a new data request 
  3. Click the segment control settings, select all, automatically refresh linked requests upon item selection, choose the cell, click ok
  4. Drop down appears, click cancel
  5. Edit the data showing the 10 pages by pageviews. Choose the cell containing the segment drop down as the source.
  6. Click next, ok.

The error states:

"Cannot run the macro 'FormControlClickEvent'. The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled"

    I fixed it...

    Problem:
    Getting the following error message when attempting to use Interactive Controls in Report Builder in Adobe Analytics 
    "Cannot run the macro 'FormControlClickEvent'. The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled."

    Reason:
    Adobe ReportBuilder.Bridge is not enabled as an Excel Add-in (it may be enabled as a COM Add-in only)

    Solution:
    Open Excel
    Click File
    Click Options
    Under Manage, select "Excel Add-ins"
    Click Go
    Adobe.ReportBuilder.Bridge will be missing from list.
    Click "Automation"
    Select "Adobe.ReportBuilder.Bridge"
    Click "OK"

    Hi Gary, I've followed your steps but can't seem to duplicate the issue. Do you get the same issues when your segment dropdown is in a separate location from existing requests in the workbook?

    I have not, it still displays the same error for me. Please share the fix if customer care is able to get it working.

    Best of luck!
