Excel =XLOOKUP Formula is not working in German nor English version. It is not even being recognised as a function. Already tried to reinstall and update Office and still the issue persists - please ...

MoselRheiderland MS support writes the following with regard to XLOOKUP.

Are you using Excel for MS365 for Mac? If not, that's why you don't have it.

Riny_van_Eekelen Well, I bought an MS365 licence and have an annual subscrition plan. I downloaded the installation files via the "Download Office"-Button at office.com while I was logged in, so I assumed it had to be the MS365 version. If I go to Excel > Info it says "Microsoft Excel für Mac" and "Version 16.46" which is the most recent as far as I know. So it should be MS365, shouldn't it?

Is there any other reliable way to check, what exact product I am currently using?

MoselRheiderland Perhaps dumb suggestion, but did you try XVERWEIS ?

  Riny_van_Eekelen Yes, I have 😄😄
  I also used the function generator to look for it in case I misspelled something, but it doesn't show the function, neither in german nor in english.

    Strange!
    In the Help meny, Check for updates. Then "Advanced". Which channel are you on (Current, Current Preview or Beta). I'm running Excel on different Mac, both in Current and Beta channel. Both have =XLOOKUP since several months ago. You should have it also.
