I am now feeling quite frustrated I have yet be able to access the new goodies !
I am on Win 11 Excel 365 personal. build 20527.20000 subscribed to beta channel as below
I also have login to an Office 365 E3 instance for client work but am logged out of it and only in to personal. I am based in UK.
I suspect the E3 instance may have restrictive or un-enabled cloud priveleges but I am testing on personal
I have tried suggested hacks of disabling and re-enabling updates and switching from beta to current channel and back after restart and update but no joy.
Any suggestions much appreciated !

Could you find the way to get them? My excel is stuck at Version 2069 Build 20430.20118 despite being on Insiders Beta Channel with Microsoft 365 Family.
