Reproducing the Issue

You wish to upgrade either the Analysis for Office BIP Addon or the Excel Addin

Cause

There is no direct dependency between the server and the client.

Resolution

It is recommended that the server version is always the same or higher than that of the client used, because the client may be using / adding a new feature that the server does not yet know. Otherwise, cells of scheduled workbooks that use a new client feature (as an example of asymmetric reporting) are not updated.
