Board Skew Parameter Tool Causes Excel Error

Hello the Board Skew Parameter Tool version 1.0 dated 1-26-2019
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/content-details/652693/board-skew-parameter-tool.html

Is not compatible with the version of Excel supplied with Microsoft 365 (Version 2401 Build16.0.17231.20194). It gives a run time error "1004" for Microsoft Visual Basic.
Are there any known workarounds? Or alternative software to calculate the board skew parameters?

Thank you.

    Further experimentation with the tool revealed that the problem seems to be isolated to the UniPHY IP option, switching to Cyclone 10 (for example) allowed the tool to complete its calculations. However, I am not using a Cyclone 10. I am using a Cyclone V. So this is not ideal.

    Thanks

      Hello,

      This tool only supports : Stratix 10, Arria 10, Cyclone 10 devices.

        Thanks.
        If it only supports those devices then what is the purpose of the UniPHY IP tab? The note next to it is clearly swapped with the note above it.
        The Cyclone 10 tab should have the note about "Cyclone 10 External Memory Interfaces IP-Board Skews"
        The UniPHY IP tab should have the more generic "UniPHY External Memory Interfaces IP- Board skews" note.

        And the UniPHY IP tab is still broken no matter what chip you intend to use it for.
