Excel 2016 Get data from PDF missing

Hi all,   I'm using Excel 2016 on Windows 10, and I find that I don't have the option to get external data from PDF. Any idea what could be the issue here?

This is all new information for me - so thank you.

Because I have a particular work issue that (I think) will benefit from this import of PDF

and because you advise that it costs no more money  - may I ask if you could provide a link or explanation as to how I may change the channel so that I could get ahead on this problem...

I dont really understand the channel thing but my understanding from you is that I belong to a channel for a regular user, but a better channel may be one associated with more technical people such as yourself who have elected to be early adopters. If its just a matter of clicking a button somewhere I would do this

thanks

Oops, I missed, it looks like you have personal subscription. The easiest way will be to click on Office Insider button and shift on Current (Preview) channel, it's stable enough.

    Thanks, without your help I could not realize it has things to do with the channel and do you know roughly when it will be rolled out? Or is there any timeline I could check?
