Hello, 

I have translate a VBA script in office script on Excel 365. 

When I have create the office script the file was recorded on my one drive documents folder in a sub folder Office Scripts. 

My Excel files is save on my one drive too. 

I use my Office 365 business user to connect on my one drive and for my Office 365 licence. 

On my pc all work well,  I open the workbook from my onedrive and I view my custom script in the  autmation tab in Excel.  I have make a shortcut like a button in my sheets and when I click on it the script execute and copy the data from tje sheet 1 to the sheet 2. 

If I try to connect on my office.com account and use the Excel Web apps all work too. 

I view my custom script and if I click on my button all execute without error from the cloud. 

I have try with Safari web browser of the iPad. 

When I connect on my account Office.com  I always view my Excel files and I can open it on the Excel Web apps on the website.  This time the automate tab is available on my file via Safari. 

After few minutes, in the automate table, I view all the default office script, but I dont view my custom script in the automate tab section like I view on the pc. 

I view my shortcut button on my sheet 1 and I could click on it. 

A message like Excel try to execute the script pop on the screen and nothing comes after. 

I could close the message ribbons with the X without error. 

If I wait enought I finish by receive a warning message like I dont have permission to run office script, my administrator have possibly block office script function, the document could be from another organisation so I could not execute scripts. 

If I click on new script button, the script editing windows open but dont finish to load and present a unknow error. 

I could maked modification and open the file on my pc  with the Excel local application and the Excel web application, but it's maybe a bug with the iPad or I need to copy the office script file locally on the ipad the make it availaible ? 

Any helps is welcome.
