Try a repair reinstallation. Start the Office/Excel setup via the
Control Panel > Add and remove Programs and choose the repair option.

If you perform an in-place upgrade from an earlier edition of
Windows, and the Office applications were already installed, you'll
likely have to repair or reinstall them, so they can add the necessary
additional functions needed for use on a multi-user OS. It may be
sufficient to simply insert the respective installation CD and select
the "Detect and Repair" option.
