For Insider, When Will Python in Excel & New GROUPBY & PIVOTBY Functions Appear?

Steve1330 , you are welcome.
As a comment, Beta is stable enough, serious issues here are very seldom. The main problem is compatibility if you share files with someone else or work in different environments.
Insiders have two channels - Beta and Current Preview. Based on build number you are on the latest Release Notes Current Channel (Preview) - Office release notes | Microsoft Learn
Discussed new functionality was not deployed on Current Preview, you need to update on Beta channel to have it.

OK, thanks, that was my concern once I read the risk associated with Beta vs Current Channel (Preview). I'll go ahead now and give Beta a chance. Thanks again.- Steve1330Nov 23, 2023Brass ContributorI just updated on Beta channel and still none of those new features are appearing. My new build version is:
2312 Build 16.0.17116.20002) 64-bit
Is there something else I need to do? Reboot my PC?
