Hi there
Been going round in circles trying to work out why powerpivot isn't showing within excel.
Found this link - https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Where-is-Power-Pivot-aa64e217-4b6e-410b-8337-20b87e1c2a4b - which seems to indicate that it should be available for any 365 version that has desktop as part of it (mine does - Office 365 Home).
There was a lot of posts around the place prior to this year where it looked like powerpivot was NOT a part of Office 365 Home - but the link I put in indicates from 8th January 2019 it should be.

Yes, Power Pivot shall be on Office 365 Home. Check File->Options->Add-ins->COM Add-Ins (drop-down list at the bottom)->Go and here you'll see is it in the list or not. If here and not checked, check it, all Ok:s and restart Excel.

@SergeiBaklan thanks for that.
I have tried the steps you have suggested. It does not appear in the COM addins, and it does not appear in the Disabled addin section either.
I have also uninstalled office and reinstalled it.
Any other ideas I can try?

I have a hunch that the article at support.microsoft.com is simply incorrect misinformation and PowerPivot is still limited to enterprise class 365 plans and standalone copies of Office Professional.
I've tried using a 365 family plan as well as a 365 Business Standard plan and neither one work. It DOES work when I buy/install a standalone copy of Office Professional (non-subscription). INSANE that I have to buy office multiple times when Microsoft's own site says it should be included.

So, I just had this problem and resolved it by doing:
Developer > COM Add-ins, and just Unselecting "Microsoft Power Pivot for Excel" and hitting [OK], then going back in there and selecting it again. Little buggy for sure but Power Pivot now shows in my Ribbon.
