"Your organization requires you to save in a work location to continue" message displayed when savin

I am attempting to insert a pivot table into a new sheet. After selecting the table/range for the data source and clicking OK a message appears stating, "Your organization, 'I', requires you to save a copy of this workbook in a work location to continue." I have tried saving the file to multiple locations on my computer and in the cloud, but the error message persists. The computer I am working on is a personal computer with no corporate firewalls/security setup. I also tried copy/pasting all the info into a new workbook and the same message appeared.

Does anyone know how this issue can be resolved and/or why Excel would be prompting me to save the file to a "work location?" (reference screenshot)

I am having the same issue and its odd. Tried to create a pivot table to dig through some data and got the same error. I have received this type of file before and did not have an issue creating a pivot table. Hope there is a resolution out there.

Are you able to just INSERT a new sheet into that workbook?
If so, can you then SAVE AS with a new name?
If not, what message do you get?
