LAMBDA formula not available
So according to what I've been reading, it's "normal" that I have a Microsoft 365 subscription and I still don't have Lambda available right?, there is an estimated date, just to test...

jparada , yes, that's normal. New functionality is deployed by channels, first it is received by limited number of users on Beta channel, next entire Beta (as it is now), next Current Preview channel, etc. The latest one is semi-annual channel which is updated with new functionality twice per year.
All of them are under Office 365 subscription, to shift from one to another you may free of charge, yo only have to accept the risk of that Beta is much less stable compare to semi-annual.
You may check your current channel under File->Account->About Excel. How to shift on insiders channel is at Office Insider , it depend on do you have business or consumer subscription.
Estimated date when it will be available for all channels - nobody knows, even Microsoft, it depends on how new functionality is stable on already deployed channels.
That's great to know you have it now. Yes, that works like this, licensing manager on your PC communicates with Microsoft server and switches this or that functionality, it could take time.
SergeiBaklan thanks for your reply Sergei! I clicked over to the announcement thread and was about to post but I decided to check if I had lambda one more time before I did so and wouldn't you know there it was! Didn't even close my excel overnight and it was still there. Guess a little patience would've done me good.
You may ask in comments to Announcing LAMBDA (microsoft.com) or as
Release notes are here Windows Beta Channel Release Notes (office.com) , if you are on Mac it's near it.
Another community is here Results in Microsoft 365 and Office - Microsoft Community , plus twitter for insiders.
- Do we know if this is still rolling out in waves? I have Office 365 and just joined the beta channel but it's still not available. I don't know if I just suck at search but I'm not seeing many posts talking about not being able to find it since February. Also, is there a place we can get this information besides the forum?
