Hi Riny and thanks for that. It is not quite what i was looking for but good that they are moving forward and making it available in full excel and not just the web version.
What i was wondering about is where that "Task" appears in the various "To Do" solutions microsoft have. There were previous mentions (As far back as 2020) that it would appear in our new smart to do lists which i would thought would be the To-Do app but it does not seem to be implemented. Perhaps they were waiting for the full excel functionality to be implimented before they moved on to that. That might mean we will see it soon (Hopefully)

Same here - we are using the feature and great about excel. BUT it only sends an email, no addition to a co-ordinated task list - fingers crossed
