Please check. Choose File|Help to get the About Excel dialog...
You can see the version and the bit-ness where highlighted.

my excel is a little different. i found it under account and it states Microsoft excel for Microsoft 365 MSO 64 bit. would the entire Microsoft 365 need to be 32 bit
I believe so.
We ran into an issue a while back with my applications being 64-bit. IT was able to locate, download and install the 32-bit for me. I can't say what they did or how they did it (I'm not involved with IT at this job) but when I came back, I had 32-bit 365, and all my software was able to work together.

As far as I know, you either have 32-bit Office or 64-bit Office. You can't pick-and-choose the bit-ness because there are many components shared by the Office apps.

MicroStation V8i is 32-bit. It won't work with Office 64-bit, which explains the error messge you posted.
If your organisation has standardised on 64-bit apps they will also need to move on to MicroStation CONNECT, which is a Windows 64-bit app.

Alternatively, do what MaryB did, and persuade IT to roll back your Office installation to 32-bit.
