Two days ago when I opened Excel there was a Add-ins tab on my home ribbon (see screenshot) . I went to customize ribbon and removed the checkmark beside Add-ins thinking that would remove it but it didn't. I've also disabled all the add-ins that I had but it's still there. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my Office twice and it's still there. How can I make it go away? It's annoying because I'm so used to clicking on things while working and now it's slowing me down because my icons are now in different places.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!!

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Right click on the ribbon & select customize, you can remove it from there.

It doesn't show up there.

I apologize about the cross posting issue. Thanks for making me aware.

So when you go to customize ribbon under main tabs on the right of the window it doesn't appear under the Home tab?

It does not. It's right beside the aligment tab but when I right click it doesn't show it as being there. see pics below
