Users on Mac can not export to Excel , only export to CSV

We have a SharePoint online site, where users on windows PCs, will have those 2 options to export to excel and csv:-

 

while users on MAC will only get this option to export to CSV:-

 

 

 

so can we allow export to Excel on Mac?

Thanks

  • This isn't a limitation of SharePoint. The "web query" (.iqy) format used when exporting to Excel only works with Excel on Windows. For a long time, we didn't have any way to export on a Mac, so the CSV option is a step forward.
