I can't find filter function in office 2019
It's an error in the documentation. Excel 2019 does NOT have the FILTER function.
So Microsoft was trying to downgrade the 2019 product to force people into the cloud? They were partially successful but I'll be the first to support the US Congress' limiting of Microsoft's power and any anti-trust cases that come up...
I'm on subscription model for a long while and not sure how smooth the transition on it. Only may say I have, among others, IMAP account connected to my 365, it works without any problems.
IMHO, in general it shall be no difference between subscription and one-time purchase models except money you pay and set of features you have.
- I think
online is the trend of these years.
SAAS(software application as service) includes AI like ChatGPT. - Interesting, I'll need to research that more. I used Office apps on my desktop for 30 years and I had control of where everything was. Then I started another business a few years ago where my partner requires MS365 so I had Outlook and now MS365 Outlook on the same desktop, one IMAP and the other Exchange. MS proceeded to replace all my Office2019 desktop apps with cloud versions and lost about 10,000 IMAP emails I retained on all my customers for the last 20 years. I know they were 'just trying to help me' but they are only trying to help themselves and I wish they would ask me (and not in a 28-page, fine print agreement I have to agree to to use the product) before they make major changes in my business processes.
I'm not against using the cloud but want to do so on a controlled basis when it's an advantage to me. Thanks for your input. More exactly the force people on subscription model, not exactly into the cloud. You may subscribe on 365, download and install apps and never work in the cloud directly.
Do you accept this or not that's another story.
