Hi,
In addition to the message above. I enabled the logging in the Master Data tab in Excel (see Enabling Diagnostic Logging for advanced troubleshooting here
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4520.troubleshooting-the-master-data-services-add-in-for-excel.aspx). The logging results added here. Still none the wiser.
But note that I recently upgraded by OS key from Windows 8 (basic) to Windows 8 Pro. So not sure if that has created a false positive (I.e. an MDS site working, whilst it actually does not).
