从VS2015到MS Excel打开TFS查询时出现错误（TF80068）

Question

We are trying to use the Open in Microsoft Excel feature in VS2015 to open TFS query results in Excel when we receive the error: TF80068: Team Foundation encountered an error while communicating with the server. Please check your connection and try again. Excel TFS Error

I can open Excel (Office 365) and use the Team menu New List to connect to the server (2010) and pull the results of the query without issue.

It is only when we use the VS2015 option that it fails.

I've removed and added the AddIn numerous times. I've tried to register the dll as well...no luck.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 3

I received this error and fixed it by re-signing in using the following steps. There might be a more straight-forward way to fix, but this is what worked for me:

1. Open a new Excel instance.
2. Creat a new workbook.
3. Click on the "Team" tab.
4. Select "New List" ("Connect to Team Foundation Server" dialog should appear)
5. Click "Switch User" in the bottom left.
6. Enter credentials.
7. Open original workbook.
