    Having the same issue as many others it seems, and haven't found a solution posted for the issue.

    Current setup:

    - Office 365 ProPlus
    - Power Query 2.20.3945.242

    When going to File > Options > Add-Ins, Power Query doesn't appear. Selecting "COM Add-Ins" from the drop-down and clicking "Manage" doesn't show Power Query in the list of available add-ins. It's also not in the Inactive or Disabled lists. The LoadBehaviour registry key is set to 3. I've uninstalled/reinstalled both O365 & PQ several times, nothing has worked.

    Can someone please advise with a solution to this issue? I'm considering Power BI as the analytics platform for our business but if we can't run the required add-ins then it's a moot point.

    Hi Conor. Could you the first two lines (i.e. the version info) from your Excel "About" dialog?

    Thanks,

    Ehren

    Hi Conor,

    Everything you provided looks okay. Could you send a screenshot of your Excel COM Add-ins dialog?

    Sorry for all the requests, but we're a bit puzzled.

    Thanks for your patience,

    Ehren

    Hi Conor,

    As Ehren mentioned, this is a bit of a mystery.  It seems you have all the necessary pieces.  Please note anything unusual that you think might be contributing to this situation.  Barring any contributing factors, I think we need to walk through the pieces that are linked together that make it work.

    Excel looks in the registry to find the addin, then uses the PROGID to find the COM Class, and uses the COM class to activate the module.  The connection from PROGID to CLSID is done through this key which we didn't check.  Can you display the values from your machine for this key?

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.Mashup.Client.Excel

    Also, can you verify that the file pointed to by the CLSID entry actually exists. This one

    file:///C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Power Query for Excel\bin\Microsoft.Mashup.Client.Excel.dll

    Thanks, I appreciate your help and patience.

    No worries Jeff, appreciate yourself & Ehren looking into it.

    Bummer, those look correct also. We are now looking at longer shots, but can you export these registry keys?

    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\Resiliency

    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\Resiliency\AddinList

    Note that the paths can look similar, but are quite different.

    With the first key, I can get as far as HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft, but there's no Office folder.

    With the second key, I can get as far as HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\Resiliency, but there's no AddinList folder.

    Thanks Conor for sticking with us. I noticed a few strange things about your COM add-ins dialog, I wonder if it's somehow related.

    • The "Location" field for the "Microsoft Power Pivot for Excel" add-in is empty
    • You are missing the "Microsoft Power Map for Excel" add-in, which should be included in the Excel that is installed as part of Office 365 ProPlus.

    Can you try enabling the "Microsoft Power Pivot for Excel" add-in, and let us know if the PowerPivot tab appears in your Excel ribbon?

    Sorry for the inconvenience Conor, at this stage we're a little puzzled. As a last resort, would you mind trying the latest Power Query update (2.21.3974.242) and seeing if that makes a difference?

    I am also having the exact same issue as Connor.  I attempt to enable Power Query and it simply won't enable.  I also ran the full Office 365 repair tool and downloaded Power Query and installed it again to no avail. I do not know exactly when this stopped working.  I haven't used Power Query for about a week.

    Hi,

    unfortunately I have the same issue with Power Query like conor has (Win 8, MSO365). FYI:

    - Day before yesterday I installed slovakian version of the PowerQuery (PowerQuery_2.20.3945.242 (32-bit) [sk-SK].MSI) - today morning it worked well.

    - however i realised I am using Excel in English bud PowerQ n SK, so I unistalled the SK version and installed the current EN version (PowerQuery_2.21.3974.242 (32-bit) [en-us].MSI) - installation was successfully finisched, however this version is not available under COM Add-In.

    - I tried also to unistal the EN version and install the Sk version from yesterday, believeing it will work. but it does NOT.

    Thanks for a solution

    Hey Conor, just had success with Robert who had a very similar situation.  Can you try these steps?

    1. Uninstall Power Query

    2. Run Repair on your Office installation

    3. Install Power Query

    Hey Ed, thanks for checking in.

    No progress since the last update, and in the interim my ProPlus trial expired so I've left it be. Our org is moving to 365 E3 in the upcoming weeks so I might revisit it then.
