Excel - Ideas feature!

Question

I have just seen the Ideas feature in Excel, which looks like it could be very useful.  In some of the supporting Microsoft tutorials you show a question box in the ideas bar or preview bar, again that would be useful.  I cannot see the the question box?  How can I see the question box?  Thank you!

Answer 3

Hi Ivy,

I have asked a question a month ago, but unfortunately got no answer.

I still don't have 'Ask a question about your data' option available in my Excel. Could you please let me know when is it going to be available in all versions?

I can give you any details about my version or subscription if it helps.

Thank you in advance

Hi Pawel,

I utterly understand your concern. In this article: Ideas in Excel., it mentioned  The Natural Language Queries functionality in Ideas is being made available to customers on a gradual basis. It will first be available to Microsoft 365 subscribers on the Current Channel in English.

Based on my test, I can see this window in the latest version of Excel Current Channel (Preview) and Beta Channel.

May I know what is the version are you using? Can you provide the screenshot of Excel -> File-> Account-> Product Information page? If you have further concerns, we suggest you post a new thread in our forum under the same category, it will benefit us to provide specific suggestions and you can refer to it easily.

Appreciate your cooperation.

Best Regards,

Ivy

Hi Ivy,

Thank you very much for quick response.

Please see below the screen from Product Information page:

This is a company account, I am working as Automation Manager and I would love to use Ideas and especially questions in our processes as it would save us lots of time on preparing reports and during the presentations or meetings.

Thank you!
