LAMBDA function not supported anymore?
Carlos Spörk Do you have multiple 365 accounts by any chance? If so, try signing out of all but one and then let Office update itself.
Just to say this is (probably) what happened to me; my son took me through a move from gmail to Outlook, which involved setting up a different (personalized) email address, to which I had to transfer my Office365 subscription. I then found - quite by chance - that the lambda functionality had disappeared.
I immediately:
* subscribed (with the new email account) to the office insider programme
* did an online repair of office
... but have not yet got lambdas working
I am hoping that they "come back" with a future update.
Curiously (to my simple mind) MS first line tech support gave up and wouldn't refer me further to technicians, instead giving me a number of community links (which led to this). My hopes rather fell when the person taking over my machine seemed really confused about my customized ribbon 🙂

I am almost certain that, at least in my case, the multiple Office 365 accounts were the root cause for the missing LAMBDA function.
As for your comment regarding the tech rep's confusion with your customized ribbon: Before starting a support chat or call, I always make sure to take a screenshot and then reset every custom layout on my Office apps. It usually saves us both a lot of time... 😉
Carlos SpörkWise words, which I will try to follow in future. As it happens I checked this morning (2 days later?) and my lambda functionality is back. I think we have a variation on a theme here; I tried replacing my account i.e. simply signing altering the email associated with my Office 365 account. I think what happened was that in the course of this it lost my insider members - so I had to re-subscribe and wait a couple of days for it to "catch up".
