LAMBDA formula not available
I have been reading so much about the LAMBDA function. I am a long-term subscriber to office 365 and am an Insider. So how long do I have to wait to have this functionality bestowed upon me? Is there a ceremony? Ridiculous
davidfehr same issue for me , i have updated as per guidance but still it is not solved

If you are
1) Office 365 subscriber
2) You are Office Insider
3) As Office Insider you installed Beta channel build
4) In File->Account you see that all above is correct
lambda shall be available.
The only if that is fresh install you may wait day or two before it appears. Assuming from time to time you are with internet connection and reboot Excel.
- Dan_M_328Oct 19, 2021Copper ContributorWhen will these new functions be available on the non-Insider builds? It's been about a year since it was announced to great fanfare.
- Julia_YuHui_BakerOct 20, 2021Copper ContributorI spoke and live chatted to MS technical support twice in the last week. The timeline for general public release is unknown.

Sergei:
Thank you for your response. All the requirements are met and I am running Excel 2108 (14315.20008) and no LAMBDA.
I appreciate your assistance.
- JKPieterseJul 22, 2021Silver ContributorI assume you have already had Excel look for updates, so...
Try this:
- Reboot your computer
- Open Excel
- Open task manager and kill the Excel.exe process from the "Details" tab
- Now open Excel again. Hopefully you now have that LAMBDA function.
