Why Doesn’t Crunched Support Older Versions?

Crunched requires modern Excel capabilities to function securely and reliably:
  • Security: Older Excel versions lack critical security features needed to protect your data during AI processing. Given that financial models often contain sensitive information, we prioritize security over backward compatibility.
  • Modern APIs: Excel 2016 and later provide the advanced integration capabilities Crunched needs to analyze and modify your spreadsheets accurately.
  • Microsoft support: Microsoft no longer provides security updates for Excel 2013 and earlier, creating potential vulnerabilities.
If you’re using an older version of Excel, contact your IT department about upgrading to a supported version. Most organizations have already migrated to Excel 2016 or Microsoft 365 for security and compliance reasons.
