LAMBDA formula not available
This functionality is available only for Office Insider , current build is
Version of Win doesn't matter if it is not too old.
However, new functionality covers only 50% of insiders, even if you install above build don't warranty you have lambdas. Kind of lottery.
- Finally I find an answer, thanks for the info! I asked for online support twice, to no avail - the second time I uninstalled and reinstalled everything (well, they did, remotely).

We typically release features over some time to ensure that things are working smoothly. This is true for Insiders as well. We highlight features that you may not have because they’re slowly releasing to larger numbers of Insiders. Sometimes we remove elements to further improve them based on your feedback. Though this is rare, we also reserve the option to pull a feature entirely out of the product, even if you, as Insiders, have had the opportunity to try them.
I have the following build, but have no access to new LAMBDA function. Please advise why LAMBDA is not available to me? Thanks.
That is exactly as in citation

If you have proper build number that only means lambda code is included into this build, but that doesn't mean lambda functionality switched-on. Office 365 is subscription model, this or that functionality could be switched on/off online, without the build reinstalling.
Lambda, as any new functionality, usually covers not more than 50% of insiders when announced. After that it's "slowly releasing" to other insiders. Nobody, includes Microsoft, knows how long it could be. Usually few weeks, but depends on situation, and in theory it could be switched off for all insiders, includes ones who already had new functionality. But that happens quite seldom.
Thank you.
