Dear monks!

I currently had a similar problem (reading data from ~100 Excel-sheets), and of course I didn't want to manually click a dialog after each of them. Excel 2013 successfully detected that I was only reading them, however when migrating to Excel 2016, the annoying dialog appeared. Using the solution above prevents that dialog in Excel2016 :-)

Below is my code for your reference

Hope this helps! Rata

    my $Excel = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit'); 
    my $workbook   = $Excel->Workbooks->OpenXML("someNameHere");     #
+ open file

    # some code here, only _reading_ from that workbook

    $Excel->{DisplayAlerts} = 0;            # 1. not required for Exce
+l 2013
    $workbook->{Saved} = 1;                 # 2. not required for Exce
+l 2013
    $workbook->close(0);
    $Excel->Workbooks->Close();
