Worksheet tabs have disappeared in MS365 version of Excel
- Nov 25, 2023
SuzyQ820 Can't replicate that behavior in Excel for the Web. How does the bottom left-hand corner of the Excel tab (when viewed in your browser)? Mine looks like this:
I've read some post suggesting that some browsers cause this problem, but I can't verify it. Which one do you use?
In any way, the suggestions given by Saima14 's AI robot are not going to help you as they do not apply to Excel for the Web.
Reset Excel Preferences:
Close all Excel files.
Open Excel and go to "File" > "Options" > "Advanced."
Scroll down to the "Display" section and check the "Show all windows in the Taskbar" option.
Click "OK" and restart Excel.
Check Workbook View Options:
Open a workbook, go to the "View" tab.
In the "Workbook Views" group, make sure "Normal" is selected.
Check Zoom Level:
Sometimes, if the zoom level is too high, it might affect the display of tabs. Ensure your zoom level is set to a normal view.
Update Office:
Make sure your Microsoft 365 subscription is up to date. Check for and install any available updates.
Repair Microsoft 365 Installation:
Open "Control Panel" > "Programs" > "Programs and Features."
Find Microsoft 365 in the list, right-click, and select "Change."
Choose "Quick Repair" and follow the prompts.
Check for Add-ins:
Add-ins can sometimes cause display issues. Disable them and see if the problem persists.
Create a New Excel Profile:
Sometimes, user profiles can become corrupted. Create a new profile and see if the issue persists.
If none of these solutions work, it's possible that there might be a specific issue with your installation or the file itself. Contacting Microsoft Support or checking community forums might provide more tailored assistance. Good luck! :hammer_and_wrench:️:bar_chart:
Thanks for your reply. Yes it is very frustrating but another reply which suggested it could be the browser seems to have cracked it and I've now got my worksheet tabs back, thank goodness. Such a relief! Thanks again for your reply anyway. Suzy

Suzy, Microsoft recently have problems with online services due to issues with WebKit. Workaround is to logout from the account, clean cache and sign-in again. Perhaps that was your case as well.
In general if there are issues with the app opened in browser, try first to repeat in InPrivate (Incognito) session. If works here, clean caches and cookies and try again.
