  Solutions:
  
  
  Close Existing Session:
  
  Check if there is an existing instance of the BEx Analyzer connected to the SAP system. If so, close it before trying to open a new one.
  You can also check the Excel task manager to ensure that no other instances of Excel are running that might be connected.
  
  
  
  Restart Excel:
