Power BI Publisher Power BI Ribbon (in Excel)

Hello, I recently downloaded Power BI Publisher, and now I am trying to open the Power BI Ribbon in Excel. I have tried to enable it by checking File > Options >Add-ins > COM Add-ins and searching for it there, but it was not an option. Can someone assist please?

    HI Anonymous,

    Please download the same version as your excel, it may cause the compatible issue if you use the 32-bit plug-in on 64-bit version excel. In addition, power bi publisher plug-in doesn't update for a long time, current it not works for a few power bi features. (e.g. workspace v2, power bi app...)

    I'd like to suggest you consider to use programming tools with power bi API to instead.
