    Hello !

    The AI answer answer is correct : you need to be enrolled in the Insiders program to use the =IMPORTCSV function.

    To do so, type "Insider" in Excel's search bar and select Microsoft 365 Insider.

    In the window that appears, switch to the "Beta channel", "check for and apply updates", and accept the terms.

    Click on OK, and wait for updates to complete. Once you've rebooted Office, you should have the IMPORTCSV feature.

    Please let me know if you have any other question !

    Yes, the IMPORTCSV function can be used with an Office 365 (Microsoft 365) Personal subscription, but only under these conditions:

    1. Excel must be Excel for Microsoft 365 on Windows.
    2. The device must be enrolled in the Insiders Beta channel.
    3. Excel must be Version 2502 (Build 18604.20002) or later.

    If Excel does not meet these requirements (for example, not on the Insiders Beta channel or on an older version), the IMPORTCSV function will not be available.

    The syntax is:

    =IMPORTCSV(path, [skip_rows], [take_rows], [locale])
    

    Where path is the local file path or URL of the CSV file.
