    Reinstalling hasn't helped.

    I suspect my Issue is that for historical reasons I have E3 and A5 licenses assigned to my user.

    I'm now trying different licensing options.

    I've just set up a user with an A5 License and installed Office.

    Nothing under formula's

    and if I enter =PY(

    I get

    So I joined the insider programme

    It seemms preview version is ended. You may need a Python in Excel add-on license to use Python formula.

    Thank you for your response.

    I have an education license.

    The link you provided states:

    If you have an Education subscription, Python in Excel is available through the Microsoft 365 Insider Program. Choose the Current Channel (Preview) Insider level and install the latest build of Excel. Python in Excel is available for Education subscriptions starting with Version 2406 (Build 17726.20016).

    But let's run with the information you've provided.

    "You may need a Python in Excel add-on license to use Python formula."

    How do I get one of those?

    CoPilot suggests I just go to M365 admin, Purchase Services and search for Python in Excel add-on.

    That finds lots of unrelated products.

    If I search just for Python nothing.

    So how do I get the Add-on suggested?

    Thank you for your help, this is starting to get a little 'Joseph Heller' which probably means I'm beyond what this forum can help with....

    Remember: "I have an Education license."

    If I follow your link, I am a Microsoft 365 user so this is me:

    If I click on the "See eligible Microsoft 365 Plans" I get ...... wait for it.....
