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.

Something like this. Technically build number means this or that code is inside the build. But using of such code could be not activated for everyone who has such build. That is subscription model, at least how Microsoft implements it.
