Community Question - How have you been using the new Stocks and Geography Data Types?
Thank you for responding. Just to clarify, since you mentioned "commercial users" does MS Office Professional 2016 include this feature?
Does Excel online integrate at all with Excel 2019? When might online version have the stocks feature?
It seems as if I wasted money purchasing Office 2019.
Thank you.
MicrosoftHey TampaTrader,
To further clarify, no MS Office Professional 2016 does not include Data Types. We have commercial and consumer versions of Office 365 that include this feature, but the consumer or commercial "perpetual" licensed versions "Office [year]" will not have them.
You might have access to Data Types in Excel online now https://www.office.com/launch/excel sign in, and open a new workbook then go to the Data Tab. If you see Data Types you are good to go. If you don't see it yet, my apologies. On the web with big features we roll out to a percentage at a time to make sure everything is working. Right now we are only at 10% of our online customers. The percentage will increase and we hope to be at 100% in a couple months. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I work on the product team, but am passing along your last feedback about 2019 to the appropriate parties. Hopefully we can make this less confusing in the future.
