Not long to go now… Just a reminder, this 30+ hour virtual conference, for charity, presents many Excel, Data Platform and PowerPoint MVPs, together with other acknowledged experts from Microsoft and / or around the globe to present, answer questions and demonstrate the future of Excel and how it will make your life easier, personally and professionally.

Last month, Microsoft released an update to conditional formatting for data labels which removed the conditional formatting option from the Formatting pane. This has now been reinstated.

As always, there is yet another variety of new features. This month’s updates include features such as an hierarchical axis by default, translations for composite models, mobile formatting options in General Availability and cross tenants’ datasets sharing.

It’s great to announce that this feature is now available to Insiders using either the Current Channel Preview or Beta Channel, running Version 16.64 (Build 22072501) or later of Excel for Mac.

It’s been a busy month for Excel with recent new additions to Insider rolling out to the Current Channel, and the new IMAGE function too. But that’s not even half of it.

In the September update, Excel released the new Image function.

This month’s updates see the announcement of a variety of new features such as the conditional formatting for data labels, the new ‘Select sensitivity label’ dialog, a data loss prevention policy update and DAX Editor improvements

The Excel gang continues to summarise recent updates in everyone’s favourite spreadsheeting software, providing details across Excel for the web, Windows, Mac and mobile.

Microsoft has announced an enhanced collaboration solution for working on Microsoft Excel workbooks, called Excel Live, to allow your colleagues and you to collaborate in real time within your Teams meetings.

The latest updates see Error Bars become Generally Available, combined with updates for Metric visuals and Datamarts, and improvements regarding query performance and the data hub. But, as always, there’s more.
