I'm trying to develop a Office Add-In for Excel (n00b).
I have managed to do some things (creating tables and taking input and so on) when using Office.context.
But now I want to go into the different cells and all examples seems to run a method called Run on a object called Excel. (https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-js-docs/blob/master/excel/excel-add-ins-programming-overview.md)
However when trying to use Excel it's undefined. I am running Excel 2013. Can it be that I need to use 2016?
If you need JavaScript APIs that can work in Excel 2013, consult the original JavaScript API Reference pages.
The APIs you're asking about are only available in Office 2016 and later.

As the article says, "Applies to: Excel 2016, Office 2016".
They have added in some new APIs recently that currently only apply to Excel & Word 2016, for Windows Desktop. And even within the more generic stuff off of Office.context there's a lot of stuff that only works on some specific platforms (e.g. only Online, or only Desktop, or not on 2013...). The 2016 desktop products have the most features available.
