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 ...

1. Clear out your cookies
2. Enable third party cookies (this one is mandatory for the Automate tab to appear I'm afraid)

No, and we turned it off for about 2 days, and back on again and have waited close to 48 hrs again and still nothing.
I also started a trial with for a O365 App account, which should include it, and I don't get it there either. Others in my organization don't either, though so it definitely seems like a account/server thing, not a specific computer issue. Not sure where to go now. Would really like to use this.

tjb8907 Is it possible for us to get the session-ID.
File > About > Session ID. This will help with the investigations.
Thanks.

Thanks for posting it. I will forward to the technical team.
I also learnt from the product team that we are slowly rolling out the available by default (without having to turn on by default) starting with targeted release users. At this moment while this rollout is in progress, the ability to turn-on by admin is not going to work. If you are not in the target release user base (I think this is picked randomly), you may not be able to access the feature depending on where we are in the rollout process and which audience group you are in. This may sound confusing - but the short answer is within few weeks Automate tab will appear for all users and during this process new users can't turn on by opting in.
Hope that helps.
