New "Automate" tab in Everybody's Excel Online Except Mine

Hello,

 

I had the Office Admin turn on the Office Scripts feature in Excel and it is working in everybody's Excel Online except for my computer. I thought maybe if I removed all my Office Add-Ins that it would help, but I still can't see the "Automate" tab in my Excel Online. I looked at 6 other co-worker's Excel Online and they all had the "Automate" tab. Why can I not see the "Automate" tab?

  • There are two possible fixes for this:
    1. Clear out your cookies
    2. Enable third party cookies (this one is mandatory for the Automate tab to appear I'm afraid)

        If in Edge, click on this icon in address bar

        select Cookies and remove following menu. In other browsers that's similar.

        Another way is in Settings.

      I've cleared cookies, made sure 3rd party cookies are enabled, and my admin verified that Office Scripts are enabled for all. I have a E3 license. Any other ideas? I nor my admin get the automate ribbon. I've tried different computers and browsers.

        tjb8907 all of my co-workers received the "Automate" tab before me. It took about 19 hours later for me to finally get it. Please allow 24-48 hours after the admin turns it on.
