Hey @DanielBettinger, Thank you for posting! I have created an issue for my tracking on this error message/workflow situation. My team and I will need to dig a bit deeper to see if there is something going on behind the scenes. Your testing and information is so helpful! Thank you!
Please stay tuned...I will provide updates here as I can. I also maybe reaching out again with follow up questions.
Thank you,
SC
Happy Friday! Our team has deployed a fix for this issue. The issue with the basemap being unavailable is fixed. Please advise if any of our users see something else!

Hi @ShannonCardoza Since the April update of ArcGIS for Excel (2026.1.0.0.61), a number of users have reported encountering the same error when opening workbooks. Notably, this behavior is not observed when starting from a blank Excel file. Are you aware of any reports about this issue? Thank you,
Good morning @MohamadChibliGIS,
Thank you for posting and sharing. I have one other mention of an observation from the latest release but none for this issue thus far. I have a few follow up questions.
1. What was the solution for the user(s) reporting this? Did they 'try again', 'reset map' or something else?
2. From the error message, it says there is a permission validation issue going on. Are the users signed into Microsoft account and ArcGIS for Excel account or they cant get to the sign in option at all?
3. If they sign in, did this resolve?
Looking forward to your findings. Thank you!

Thank you for that @MohamadChibliGIS yes, please send me a private message with the workbook.
Ik heb ook klanten die dit probleem zien bij een nieuwe installatie van de add in. Ik ben er niet in geslaagd het probleem te reproduceren met mijn eigen aanmelding.
