How can I launch Power Query Editor?

I am trying to open Power Query Editor but I keep getting the following message "We've detected an issue with Excel install files that prevents Get & Transform Data (Power Query) from working. To fix the issue, you'll need to uninstall and then reinstall Office.". I have uninstalled and reinstalled office and I keep getting the same error message.

Currently using Office 365 Version 2307 (build 16626.20208 Click-To-Run)

It could be corruption in installation. You may try using Offscube tool to clean the installation then reinstall office.

  2. Follow the steps to open the download according to your browser, and when you're prompted in the Application Install window, select Install, and then I agree for the Microsoft Services Agreement.

  3. From the Uninstall Office products window, select the version of Microsoft 365 you want to uninstall, and then select Next.

  4. Follow the prompts on the remaining screens and when prompted, restart your computer.
