Unable to add Forms for Excel to +New in Document library
I have tried to add the 'Forms for Excel' feature in the +New option of a Modern Document library but it never works - please can you advise what I am doing wrong? It currently looks like this:
When I click on 'Edit New Menu', I have the following selected. After pressing Save, nothing changes.
All suggestions would be very welcome please?
yes, I had same issue, & found Solution for it.
"Forms for Excel" feature only support SharePoint site which has been connected with a M365 group.
to fix it, Connect site with M365 Group.
after connecting with M365 Group, this issue fixed and showing "forms for Excel"

Steve Rowland which file format does the file have? If it is .xlsx i think You first have to save it as a *.xltx before adding it to the library.
Hi MagnusGoksoyrOLDProfile, there isn't a file connected with this link - it is just the standard option that Microsoft provide.
Looks like we need some trouble shooting. Have you tried creating a brand new library on the same site and seeing if this exact issue occurs there too?
And to double check if there's any issue with the particular library you're using, maybe try an alternative way to create a Forms linked Excel book as mentioned here.
