Flows have suddenly stopped appearing in Excel

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 4
I've set up several flows for a couple of spreadsheets in order to automate one of our internal submission processes, while these flows were working for the majority of this year, they've stopped appearing in excel as of today. 
 
The flows themselves haven't changed and the users using the flows (myself included) are on the flows as run-only user / owner but when any of us go onto the sheet and try to use the flow we get prompted to "Create a flow", currently I've had to run the flows from the my flows section on power automate.

    I had the exact same problem today ! Many users did too, I think its a general bug.

    We have raised a support ticket on this last month. Allegedly a fix has been identified and is scheduled to be deployed "soon".

    This is a known Excel - Power Automate integration issue.
    Your flows still exist, but Excel has lost the association with them, so it only shows “Create a flow” templates.
    This often happens after Excel or Power Automate updates, file moves, or integration changes pushing Office Scripts. The fix is to re‑associate or recreate the Excel‑triggered entry point.
     
    Meanwhile you can try this:
     
    Re‑associate from Excel
         Open the workbook directly from OneDrive or SharePoint
         Go to Automate --> Power Automate
         Click Edit your flows
         Select the existing flow --> Save
    This often restores visibility.

    Oddly enough without changing anything all the sheets have started to work again. Maybe the issue was with power automate itself but as TM-01041641-0 said this may have just been a general bug.
