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.
A family of Microsoft spreadsheet software with tools for analyzing, charting, and communicating data.

Hi,
There is no check for updates option in the Help menu. Is there an alternative way?
Looking for your reply.
Cheers,
It appears your install of Office is managed and that the IT department does not allow you to join the beta channel.
Thanks Jim
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?
To launch AutoUpdate, use the Menu Bar in Excel. Choose Help > Check for Updates.
