Read the following solution from SAP for your problem:
When we open XL Reporter we get an error
message "A required COM add-in program for XL Reporter has not been loaded
and prohibits Microsoft Excel from running." when trying to open a report
definition.
SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM:
Reason and Prerequisites

The user should be added as a member of the administrator role on the
local computer the first time you start Excel from XL Reporter the first
time so that the COM addin are registered, then you can remove the user
from the administrator group again.
