Pivot Table Setting Won't Appear
This is Excel 365, the online version.
When I create a pivot table the field table pane pops up so I can select what columns I want. When I go to "show settings" for the pivot table they don't show up and then cause the field table pane to also not show up. This happens on all my documents, new and old, multiple devices and web browsers. I've used the pivot table settings on other documents but on Wednesday 11/19/2025 is just stopped working. I didn't change any of my settings. This seems to be a Microsoft glitch but their tech support's only solution to me was to use the desktop version but the point of me using the online version is so that everyone in my Organization can use these shared docs.
I'm having a ton of other issues with Microsoft but this one is preventing me from being able to the basic tasks of my job.

I am having the same issues as the above users. I am using the excel online web app through my employers subscription and I cannot build and or edit the workbook I have been creating for my team to manage our work flow. I have gone through all the trouble shooting steps above to no avail. I am half way through creating this workbook and it is pivotal to my operations. Does anyone know when this issue will be resolved? I have tested these functions on other computers as well as with other employees. Issue is same across the board. I have screen recordings of this issue happening as well. Once I click on the pivot table settings, it disables the right pop up menu for many functions.
Having the same issue, anyone found a solution yet?
We've started having the same issue today. I've tried in Firefox (my usual browser choice) then Chrome and in desperation I've even tried in Edge. It seems anything that would pop up a settings pane on the right side of the sheet just doesn't work. Top marks, Microsoft.
