FY2023 has been a good year for SumProduct. We’ve helped more clients than ever before, trained more people than ever before and told more bad jokes than ever before.

This update sees several new features across Excel for the web, Windows and Mac.

Microsoft Fabric has now been announced – but that’s not all!

Time for conditioning! Microsoft Fabric, now in Preview, is an end-to-end, human-centred analytics product that brings together all of an organisation’s data and analytics in one place. It combines Power BI, Azure Synapse and Azure Data Factory into one unified software as a service (SaaS) platform.

SumProduct is pleased to announce that Liam Bastick has been made a finalist for the Global Excel Awards Lifetime Achievement Award.

This month, in Excel for web, the Chart Task Pane is now generally available, along with hyperlinks in Comments, and performance improvements related to conditional formatting.

Excel Labs is an add-in that allows the folks at Redmond to release experimental ideas for you to try, and to provide them with feedback that helps Excel evolve.

For Excel for the web, the ‘Formula argument assistance’ card accompanies you whilst writing a formula, and helps you insert or edit the arguments.

Originally added to Excel for the web back in October last year, ‘Check Performance’ has been improved for Excel for the web.

Power BI Desktop is now fully supported on Azure Virtual Desktop (formerly Windows Virtual Desktop) and Windows 365. But that isn’t all.
