Is the Excel trial version down gone? Can I only do Excel paid download?

Or which path can you find it?

    Hello @Wells Georgina,

    Good day! I hope you are doing well.

    To help provide the most accurate and effective guidance, could you please share a bit more information about your requirements?

    • Are you specifically looking for a standalone trial version of Microsoft Excel, or would a Microsoft 365 trial that includes Excel and other Office applications also meet your needs?
    • Have you previously used a Microsoft 365 subscription or trial with your Microsoft account? If so, could you let us know the exact subscription or trial name?
    • Do you only require Excel, or do you also need access to other Office applications such as Word, PowerPoint, or Outlook?
    • What is the intended use of the product: personal, family, education, business/work, or another scenario?
    • Have you already checked the Microsoft 365 trial page or searched for Excel through the Microsoft Store? If so, what options were presented?
    • Are you receiving any error messages, notifications, or indications that a trial is unavailable? If yes, please share the exact message or a screenshot if possible.

    This additional context will help us better understand your situation and recommend the most suitable licensing or trial option for your needs.

    Looking forward to your response so we can get this sorted out for you together.

    A general Excel-only trial download path is not shown in the available Microsoft support content.

    What is shown:

    • Microsoft offers a Microsoft 365 trial for 1 month: Try Microsoft 365 for 1 month
    • Microsoft also states that standalone versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint can be purchased individually from the Microsoft Store.
    • If Microsoft 365 was already purchased directly from Microsoft, installation is done from Services & subscriptions at https://account.microsoft.com/services.
    • Older support content for Excel for the web mentions downloading a trial version when prompted, but it does not provide a current standalone Excel trial download path.

    So the supported path currently shown is:

    1. Use the Microsoft 365 trial if a trial is needed.
    2. If only Excel is needed, buy the standalone Excel app from the Microsoft Store.
    3. If already purchased, install it from Services & subscriptions.
