Hello v-alq-msft ,

 

Both computers have the latest version of the plugin. Same user login. The plugin accepts the microsoft credentials, but then will not connect.

 

I was able to get the plugin to work when I run excel as administrator. I do not need to run as administrator on the other machine. The excel versions are different. Are there known issues with this plugin for certain excel versions?

You may check the supported versions of the Excel for the plugin. Try to update the excel to the same version as the one in your computer.

 

Best Regards
