Check your formula with value preview tooltips in Excel

Hi, Microsoft 365 Insiders! Steve Kraynak, a Product Manager on the Excel team is excited to share that they've added a value preview to tooltips to help you check your formulas directly in the formula bar or in the cell you’re editing. Simply select part of the formula, and Excel display's a tooltip that contains the current value of the part you highlighted. 

 

 

 

Head over to the https://insider.office.com/en-us/blog/check-your-formula-with-value-preview-tooltips-in-excel?ocid=TC to get some tips and tricks!

 

Best,

Devin

    Hi,
    I noted from the Current Channel release notes that this feature has just been released to non-Insider users, so I installed MS365 updates (some were downloaded and installed) and gave it a try... but nothing happened. Clicking on a function parameter in the tooltip to select it, and hovering my mouse cursor over the selected parameter/formula part does not produce a tooltip with a preview of the evaluation of that part of the formula.
    I'm on Microsoft 365 Apps for business, Version 2303, Build 16227.20212 Click-to-Run, Current Channel.

    I look forward to this being available.
    This will help with tracking down problems in long formulas.
