Hi Matias,
I'm sorry to hear you are having an issue. Does it help to open the settings screen and click the Rest Forms button?

I bought the license a few years ago.
It throws an error checking for updates.
Am I not able to keep using the addon unless I repurchase the license?

Hi Alejandro,
No, the license is still valid. Just turn off automatic updates in Settings.
If you want to use your license on a new machine, make sure you copy the reftreeanalyserxl.xlam file from your old machine, as downloading a new version from my website will not work.

Hi, can you confirm whether this is working with the latest version of excel? When I double click the refutility, it doesnt bring up any windows (just switches to the first open excel window).

Hi Axel,
It should work, yes. It does for me (I use Microsoft 365 monthly channel).

Hello Sir,
Greetings of the Day !
Does the Reftreeanalyser works with LAMBDA and Dynamic Array Formulas or not ?
