Looked at folder Excel is supposed to point to for searching for DLL – C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\ADDINS\PowerPivot Excel Add-in\Microsoft.DataWarehouse.Interfaces.DLL.

Then looked at GAC folder – C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.DataWarehouse.Interfaces\v4.0_11.0.0.0__89845dcd8080cc91\

Renamed file to To Microsoft.DataWarehouse.Interfaces.OLD,

Then copied Microsoft.Datawarehouse.interface.DLL FROM C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\ADDINS\PowerPivot Excel Add-in TO C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.DataWarehouse.Interfaces\v4.0_11.0.0.0__89845dcd8080cc91\ And it is working for ref please visit https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sqlblog/2015/11/09/excel-2016-powerpivot-mdx-query-designer-error/
