Help Desk Sent Me Here...Help!
I'm getting the msg in a ribbon at the top of my excel files as follows: COULDN'T VERIFY SUBSCRIPTION Excel couldn't verify your Microsoft 365 subscription. Please make sure that you're connected to the Internet. ( I am ). we've rebooted several times, uninstalled, reinstalled etc. I can open all my excel files, but can't edit or save them.

Error office 365 e3 developer license will be deleted on XXXXX. Currently disabled
My Office 365 E3 Developer has been marked for deletion and disabled today. No earlier comms from Micrsoft or any sort of messages.It just locked our my E3 Developer license has there a not supporting it any more. I wanted to try and backup/export my mail box and no luck - the option is greyed out. My SharePoint admin center has been blocked also can't backup any of my files. I'm just helpless.What a shame Microsoft What other plans can i move to and what should i do now since Teams and mail is not working. Can I at least get a a grace period. Any resources or advice would be appreciatedPut multiple values in one cell with lists and arrays in Excel
Throughout Excel's 40-year history, you've only been able to put one value per cell. In this announcement, we're excited to share how that's changing with the release of lists, arrays in cells, and nested arrays, initially to Microsoft Excel for Windows and Mac Beta Channels. Many workbooks already try to pack multiple values into one cell. A project might list "Carlos, Henrietta, Jacob" as three owners, or a Forms survey might return "2:00 PM; 2:30 PM; 3:00 PM" as one response. With lists, you can keep those values in one cell, while also keeping them separate for filtering, calculation and more. Later in this post, we'll explore arrays in cells and nested arrays in more depth. NOTE: These are preview features. Their behavior may change before general release based on your feedback. We don't recommend using them in important workbooks until they're generally available. Lists Lists let you put multiple values into one cell. You can create a list by selecting Insert > List or pressing Ctrl+J, then typing or pasting items separated by commas or semicolons, depending on your regional settings. Selecting the icon in the cell shows the individual values. You can add, remove, or edit list items by double-clicking the cell or pressing F2, just like other values. With lists, you can filter by one or more individual items instead of whole text entries. Referencing a list returns all its values for calculations. For example, =B2 spills those values into separate cells. Arrays in cells Lists are useful on their own, but they're part of a much broader change to Excel. For the first time in Excel, arrays can exist natively in cells as values or as formula results. They can be any size or shape and can even contain other arrays. You can now keep the result of any spilling formula in a single cell by "wrapping" the formula body with braces { }. Since the introduction of dynamic arrays, array results have spilled across cells – for example ={1;2;3}. Wrapping the original array with braces creates a 1x1 array around it, so instead of spilling to multiple cells, the array stays in a single cell. Braces have long been used to describe arrays in Excel and this extends that behavior by allowing multiple layers of braces. This gives you more flexibility when building spreadsheets. Instead of leaving room for a formula to spill, you can keep the result in one cell. Arrays inside arrays, or nested arrays Arrays can now also "nest" inside other arrays. For example: ={{1,2,3};{4,5,6}} Previously, a formula that produced an array of arrays would return a truncated result or #CALC! error. Now, supported formulas return the complete nested result. In the example below, you can see how TEXTSPLIT behaves with and without nested arrays. Without nested arrays, Excel only returns the first item for each row. With nested arrays, the result spills, one array per row. The arrays in each row can then be used in further calculations. Four new functions: FLATTEN, HAS, HASANY, HASALL To help you work with arrays more easily, we've added four functions. FLATTEN(array, [pad_value], [levels]) simplifies nested arrays by removing one or more levels of nesting. Continuing from the prior example, FLATTEN lets you simplify the nested array output, spilling the individual results into the grid. We used an empty string ("") for pad_value so rows with fewer items show blanks in the remaining columns. Three HAS functions check whether values are in an array: HAS(array, value) returns TRUE if value appears anywhere in array, and FALSE otherwise. HASANY(array, values) returns TRUE if any of the values appear anywhere in array, and FALSE otherwise. HASALL(array, values) returns TRUE if all of the values appear anywhere in array, and FALSE otherwise. Do more with spreadsheets using arrays in cells and nested arrays Arrays in cells open up spreadsheet designs that weren't practical before. The run tracker below captures split times (how long it takes to run each kilometer) in a table with one run per row. The number of splits depends on the length of the run. Stats for each run are calculated right in the same table. For more examples, I recommend looking to your favorite Excel communities on LinkedIn, YouTube, Reddit, or elsewhere. Enabling nested array calculations in a workbook Compatibility Version 3 will be released alongside arrays in cells and is required for most calculations involving nested arrays. You can set Compatibility Version for each workbook in by selecting Formula > Calculation Options. See compatibility versions for more information. Some existing formulas return different results in Compatibility Version 3. If your workbook doesn't behave as expected, you can keep it set to Compatibility Version 1 or 2. Known limitations As this feature rolls out to Beta Channel, the following limitations apply: Conditional formatting doesn't inspect array contents unless you use a formula Data validation can't use a list or array as dropdown items Charts don't expand an array into data points PivotTables don't read array values as source data Power Query doesn't load or emit array-valued columns Find & Replace can't replace list/array items Availability These improvements are rolling out to Beta Channel users running: Windows: Version 2610 (Build 20520.20000) or later Mac: Version 16.114 (Build 26092111) or later Features covered on this blog roll out over time to enable us to monitor quality and performance, so some preview features may not be available to you right away. Also note that features may be paused, adjusted, or removed as part of that process. Feedback Click Help > Feedback in Excel to tell us what you think.
Multilingual forms unavailable under Premium license
Hello World ! Looking for insight on a feature access issue. The target is to create a multilingual form (survey for a tennis club) The club acquired a Microsoft 365 Premium license, with the understanding this is the license level for Multilingual forms to be available as a feature. When I open Forms as the account admin, the multilingual option is not there. I am using Edge on a home PC. I connect to Windows 11 as myself, and I am also the owner of a Microsoft 365 Family subscription, which DOES NOT include multilingual form. What am I missing ??? Thank you for any insight !
Feature Request: Extend Security Copilot inclusion (M365 E5) to M365 A5 Education tenants
Background At Ignite 2025, Microsoft announced that Security Copilot is included for all Microsoft 365 E5 customers, with a phased rollout starting November 18, 2025. This is a significant step forward for security operations. The gap Microsoft 365 A5 for Education is the academic equivalent of E5 — it includes the same core security stack: Microsoft Defender, Entra, Intune, and Purview. However, the Security Copilot inclusion explicitly covers only commercial E5 customers. There is no public roadmap or timeline for extending this benefit to A5 education tenants. Why this matters Education institutions face the same cybersecurity threats as commercial organizations — often with fewer dedicated security resources. The A5 license was positioned as the premium security offering for education. Excluding it from Security Copilot inclusion creates an inequity between commercial and education customers holding functionally equivalent license tiers. Request We would like Microsoft to: Confirm whether Security Copilot inclusion will be extended to M365 A5 Education tenants If yes, provide an indicative timeline If no, clarify the rationale and what alternative paths exist for education customers Are other EDU admins in the same situation? Would appreciate any upvotes or comments to help raise visibility with the product team.
