Having Similar Issue.  Appears to have popped up as of 4th/5th March (2023). 

Same circumstances, Logged in.

@rocko95  Hi! 

Have you logged into Excel with the company account? Usually when you log in with an occount, you have a circle with your contact in the top right, which I don't see in this screen.

 

To sign in, go to File > Account
