Excel, Microsoft announces the end of three features

Microsoft recently announced the end of three products available in the Excel spreadsheet. They are all abandoned. This includes Money (US market only), Wolfram data types, and partner offers.

The giant gives no explication. It is however probable that these abandonments are justified by a community of users in constant decline. Money in Excel will be discontinued on June 30. Also, there will be no further updates.

We have learned a lot from Money in Excel and appreciate the many needs people have for their families and their money. We believe there are other areas where we can have a greater impact and we will focus on those moving forward.

The same posture is adopted for partner offers and Wolfram Data Types. The end-of-life dates are June 30 and June 11, respectively.

About partner offers the giant adds

We are committed to providing our subscribers with consistent value. Learning from this program and our partners, we are looking for new ways to deliver this value. We believe there are other areas where we can do this, and we will focus on those that will target the future.

Regarding Wolfram data types, Microsoft specifies

As part of our journey to Excel innovation and modernization, we have entered into a unique partnership with Wolfram to expand our set of available linked data types and create high-end models using the breadth of their knowledge. pre-existing. We simply choose not to renew this partnership for this particular range of data. We will focus our efforts on other innovations such as the use of data types to connect to your personal data and ways for developers to organize the data types connected to their own services.

These changes should not be accompanied by major disruptions knowing that the number of affected users is expected to be low.
