Excel version - Quick dynamic changes

Hi,

I was wondering if it way possible to change your excel version quickly without uninstalling.

I have MS 365, and I'm trying to help people on forums like Stackoverflow and mrexcel with excel formulas or vba problem, but sometimes I end up with a compatibility problem since some are on excel 2016 or 2019 or 2021. So is there a parameter that i can select to only autorise functions present in an older version of excel without having to go back and forth on MS documentation and look in the "aplies to" section of the function?

Thanks,

Vincent

There is no way to accomplish this on one system.

I use virtual machines, each has it's own operating system and office installed. https://www.virtualbox.org/
