Office Scripts not loading

Question

Hello,

We are currently facing an issue where our .osts scripts cannot be loaded into office documents?

All of the documents are saved within the same Document Library on SharePoint and access is not an issue.

I have checked to see if I can create a new script but it is also stating 'Oops, something went wrong.'

This is on both a current document and i have also tried this on a new document.

Based on the situation, I suggest you report this to your tenant admin or IT team and ask them to check the existing service incidents in your organization. If they can see this service incident, I recommend you wait for the fix from Microsoft. If they don't see this incident via the Issue ID, I suggest raising a support ticket from the Microsft 365 admin center. Your tenant admin or IT team can create a support ticket with Microsoft Support directly by following the steps from this link:  Get support - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn

Sorry for the inconvenience that happened to you. Appreciate your understanding and patience.

Answer 2

We are having the same issue. Sometimes they actually load but then they won't run (nothing happens). This also seems to be affecting our Power Automate flows that use office scripts.

Answer 3

The script stopped working for me as well today. It no longer functions in Excel on my PC or in the web version. I can't run the script or add a new one. I have updated my Office version, but unfortunately, it still doesn't work.

Answer 4

Looks like they've updated something and broken this functionality, so sad, I am also effected with the same use case as you've put above.

I'll keep an eye on this thread and hopefully they fix it soon

I have the same issue. Worked fine yesterday and stopped working today. Same errors. Really annoying...

Thanks
