Wherever you are in the world, however you may be celebrating, all of us here at SumProduct would like to extend the season’s greetings to you. Happy New Year!

Clearly, there were Christmas parties to go to and New Year celebrations. Consequently, the list of December updates was a little smaller than usual...

It's been six years since Microsoft last changed its icon set - about the same time our first newsletter launched! Whilst Liam may refuse to change the photo on the front page of said newsletter to show how time has ravaged him, Microsoft has been more honest.

Last month we mentioned Office 2019 was now Commercially Available. We thought we’d better do some digging and see what was new (compared to Excel 2016, rather than Office 365). There really wasn’t any room in last month’s newsletter, so please forgive our tardiness. However, we aim to put it right now!

Perhaps a few less updates than in recent months, but that’s to be expected and there’s still enough to keep you on your toes!

Who'd have thought? Our popular series on Power Query / Get & Transform hits a landmark this week - 100 not out!!

Slowly but surely, Excel for Mac comes into the light. Another step in the right direction has just been made with the advent of the ‘Customize Keyboard’ feature.

Another month, another 21 updates. You can’t say you aren’t getting your money’s worth (given it’s free!).

September 24 is the day Excel moved on. Yes, we’ve had Power Pivot, Power Query / Get & Transform and Power BI, but Microsoft’s “CALC” team has been busy behind the scenes rearranging the furniture.

Just under a year on from last year’s improvement frenzy, the Microsoft team have been going gangbusters at “Phase 2”.
