Python for Excel not showing in Formulas
I've followed the following steps:
https://insider.microsoft365.com/en-us/join/windows
chose insider level "Beta channel" and installed insider builds, waited for it to install and then opened excel and still python for excel can not be found and typing '=PY' in the formula bar gives an error. Any idea where is that coming from ?
P.S when I search for python in the search bar I get "insert python" option but nothing happens when I click on it
Thanks
- I spent 2 hours with Microsoft agents today and they weren't able to resolve the issue. I personally had followed all the instructions and Python is the only reason I purchased license today. has there firm solution for this issue?
- Still not available.
I am afraid, it is simply just a mass manipulation to check our credulity.

Please do not kidding me. I am changed to the Beta channel, obviously.
It is very annoying, when sg is announced, and users does not get anything.
I am a testmanager at Deutsche Telekom and we also do "limited launch" before commercial launch.
But we are punished if we do not keep our promises to users.
Maybe thats the reason why I am disappointed.
I wonder if this "Python in Excel" will remain just an empty promise. Then I don't know if Microsoft can be trusted?
- Same here, it's Oct. 2nd and nothing yet about the Python 😞
I believe Beta channel is covered on 100% now
- Também não estou conseguindo. Faço parte do canal beta e estou na Versão 2309 (build 16818.20000) e ainda assim quando digito =py nada acontece.
https://learn.microsoft.com/pt-br/officeupdates/update-history-beta-channel - Same. I switch to BETA, so that I can start testing & demo this feature. No luck. 1+ User WAITING for MS RELEASE. 😥
Same issue here but using Excel for Mac. Joined Beta Channel following the steps at the official link, updated excel but it only updates till version 16.77 (23082302), whereas I see in the rollout page that they already released version 2309.
Same here; I can't find the Python function in the ribbon. Weirdly enough, the latest build release notes don't mention Python for Excel, either. I don't understand why all the announcements say Python would be available in Build 16818.
ckespanol My understanding is their policy is not to release 100% in that build number. They'll release say 30% on the current build; despite advertising as it being in that release version. Shocked as the entire reason I just subscribed was for this Python version. Would have stuck with Office 21.
i am not able to enable python in customize ribbon even update office.
