Power BI Ribbon in excel no longer available?????

Installed Analyse in excel, however I don't see any options or downloads for publish in excel anymore.

I cannot add the Power BI ribbon in excel.

This wasn't the case last month.

 

Has something changed here?

This functionality is essential!!!!

  • In the excel add in, I no longer see the option to turn on Microsoft Power BI Publisher for Excel.

    Is this feature still available?

    hi  GMRevenite 

    I have tested on my side, it works well.

    So i think there should be someone disable it in excel option, please follow these steps to enable it.

    Access the Power BI Publisher from Excel. Upon opening following successful installation, you should get a message box advising of BI Publisher for Excel. It can be deactivated and the Power BI tab in the Excel ribbon should be visible. If it is not visible, you can check out the COM Add-ins dialog in Excel.

    • Click on File and then Options in Excel to bring up the Excel Options menu
    • Select Add-Ins and use the drop-down menu at the bottom to choose COM Add-ins
    • Click on Go… to launch the following COM Add-ins window

     

    Regards,
