UPDATE: Just found the other thread regarding these issues: No need to reply here.
Just upgraded a client from 2024 to 2025 and hence the upgrade to 8.0 Sage Intelligence and getting rather frustrated.
Importing previously created templates appears to cause a problem in that the helper pane and the excel functions do not seem to work.
Went and tested SI in my own system and found the same issue. I hadn't really used it since upgrading to 2025 (bad Tom) :(
I've looked through the suggestions in the link above with no success.
I found that if I create an entirely new template and then copy the design from the original template everything works just fine except that I get this when trying to save the template.

I did find a reference to this when in an older version of Excel, but I am well beyond the version that it claims is the problem.
This really doesn't seem like this transition should be so hard.
