Troubleshooting: Power Pivot ribbon disappears

In rare cases, the Power Pivot ribbon will disappear from the menu if Excel determines that the add-in is destabilizing to Excel. This might occur if Excel closes unexpectedly while the Power Pivot window is open. To restore the Power Pivot menu, do the following:

  2. In the Manage box, click Disabled Items > Go.

If the previous steps do not restore the Power Pivot ribbon, or if the ribbon disappears when you close and reopen Excel, try the following:
  1. Close Excel.
  2. Point to Start > Run and then type regedit.
  3. In Registry Editor, expand this registry key:
    If you have Excel 2013: HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Office > 15.0 > User Settings.
    If you have Excel 2016: HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Office > 16.0 > User Settings
