If you’re already familiar with Power Query or you don’t use Excel on a Mac, move along nothing to see apart from curiosity as to how they’ve implemented it (spoiler alert – it’s on a par with the Windows version). I actually use these two features.Įarlier this year Microsoft started the Power-Query-on-the-Mac ball rolling by adding the ability to import data from CSV files and other Excel files but this week came the HUGE announcement that The Query Editor is now available to users on Microsoft 365 Beta Channel.Įxpecting some cut down implementation like the VBA Editor, I gave it a test-drive and was pleasantly surprised. I create videos and tutorials on these two features. I deliver training on these two features. This is why my Parallels Virtual Machine is running 24/7 on my Mac.


Two critical (for me and many others but maybe not for you) features that are missing from the Mac version are Power Pivot / Data Model and Power Query.

When it comes to Excel, today there is near-parity between the 2 platforms (it’s taken a few years to get to that point) however there’s still a way to go. Although I use Excel for Windows in my professional life, in my personal/home life I’ve used a Mac since 2006.
