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 ...
- 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)

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.
Yes that helps a lot...no wonder I can't get it! That would have been nice to see that info posted in the articles about enabling it! Thanks for checking!
