New data types not showing in Excel, though I have a 365 subscription
I can see the Stocks and Geography data types, but I know there are several more that have been in the recent past (automatic, food, etc.). I have an active subscription, I've tried the online repair for MS products - the data types are still not showing up. Any suggestions?

ajjava Do you by any chance have a Business subscription? If so, you'll have to wait. Like me. Only Family and Personal subscribers have access to the new data types.
General availability was announced few days ago New data types and smart templates powered by Wolfram are now generally available - Microsoft Tech Community
Availability depends on your subscription (consumer or business and which one) and I guess on channel (semi-annual or current, most probably availably only for the latest).
Plus functionality is deployed gradually, it takes time, up to few weeks, from announcement to deployment for all users.

Hi there
I have a Microsft 365 Enterprise subscription as we are MSP, but that option(s) for Currency etc is not available in Excel. I have uninstalled, re-installed, and repaired, the same issue. I also don't get an option to Join Office Insider? Any ideas anyone?- Riny_van_EekelenPlatinum Contributor
compufreak The new Wolfram data types were discontinued a few weeks ago. See link below.
These are the types that remain
If you are looking for currency info in particular, you can type e.g. USD/EUR in a cell and data type it as Stocks.
