Good day

I am trying to get access to Power Query Editor on Mac. I have done the latest Excel beta and current channel (preview) updates as required and currently have Excel version 16.64 installed, but still don't have a Power Query Editor option. According to Office Insider this feature is available to Beta Channel users running Version 16.61 or later.

Attached is a screenshot of what I should be seeing according to Office insider when I select get data in the data tab, and a screenshot of what I'm actually seeing.

I do have a Microsoft 365 subscription, I have the bèta channel but still not able to see the launch power query editor button.

    Hi giantqtips

    Download a copy of the current version of AutoUpdate from this link, install and then run AutoUpdate to bring your installation to current update level, then restart your Mac. If the updater does not open automatically after download, double-click the downloaded .pkg file. Click this link to download the updater. The update is free.

    welp this is lame

    I had access the editor for a day, and did some significant work with it.

    now I don't see it anymore, and the Check of Updates option is gone.

    I guess all that work went to waste then... pretty crazy to be honest..

    To launch AutoUpdate, use the Menu Bar in Excel. Choose Help > Check for Updates.

    I also have this issue. I'm using a licensed Microsoft 365, and I don't have any admin that restricted my access. How do I get the 'Check for updates' to show on my Mac?
