Excel 365 for Mac - Get & Transform/Power Query functionality
UY-SCUTI I went the opposite way. A long time Mac user, realising that Excel for Mac wasn't really living up to my needs. I had an MS365 Business subscription that allowed me to install the full Office package on up to 5 PC's and/or Macs, plus a bunch of mobile devices. I bought Parallels and W10 and happily run the full Excel version on a virtual Windows machine, on one of my Macs, a rather old MacBook Pro. Works good enough for me. If you have a newer Mac, it's going to run even better, I suspect. At the same time, running Excel on two more Macs and a Huwawei laptop (all under the same subscription), though with the limited functionality (as you recently discovered) on both Macs.
Thank you for thinking along, have not really thought of the option of installing Windows OS on the Macbook! Will definitely give that a try, any chance you know if my Office 365 family subscription will allow me to install a Windows version as well?
Also thanks for those roadmap links, as for Get & Transform (former Power Query) it does seem like there is some activity on this topic still, also seeing users regularly requesting updates on this.
Guy Hunkin, Would you be able to tell more?
