i did my reboot. opened excel and nothing has changed. I still don't have the option.
I did do an update. it says that I am up to date now, but i still only have the same options I showed earlier. I am going to reboot my machine and check again.
Hi @courtneyinatl Lot's of option missing in your version. Check your version and update. You should be able to find Exchange in online services and other services. This feature available in Microsoft 365.
Hi @courtneyinatl, Can you please share which version you are using of office 365.
i'm using the latest version and getting the option for microsoft exchange connector
You can try to update to latest version and see if it works
