After having been in contact with 10 different people at MS, I am desperate for an answer to my question; Is the function to work with Power Pivot avalible in Office 2016 (or 2011 for that matter) on Mac? What Versions of Office 2016 Contain Power Pivot? October 27, 2015. What Versions of Office 2016 do NOT Include Power Pivot? My understanding is that none of this (Power Pivot, Data Models, Power Query) exists on the Mac side, and will not function on Excel Online. Joergtiedemann says: October 30, 2015 at 2:56 pm.

One of the advantages of doing the last Office 2016 product review is that I can leverage work others have done to save you, the reader, some redundant explanation. So if you haven’t yet, check out the reviews of,,. Much of what you’ll read about in those apps applies to, too: Mac-specific features like multi-touch gestures, full screen support, Retina graphics, a cleaned-up and easily-hidden ribbon, a fixed task pane that replaces floating palettes for formatting, integrated support for OneDrive, and excellent cross-platform file compatibility. You can read more about these features in the above-mentioned reviews; they work just the same way in the new Excel. (As with the other apps, you can only presently get Excel 2016 if you’re an Office 365 subscriber.) What else is new When you launch Excel 2016, you’ll be greeted by Excel’s clean new appearance. You can choose from a colored header (new in 2016) or the usual gray header from previous releases. Workbooks with multiple tabs get a much cleaner tab bar, losing the fake 3D appearance.

The update has also brought some significant fixes to the Power Pivot add-in for Excel 2016: Power Pivot data model is no longer lost when working with hidden workbooks.

Colored tabs are now colored with a thin bar, instead of a gradated fill on the entire tab, making it easier to read tab names. Overall, I found the new interface pleasant and easier to use than in older versions of Excel. Excel includes the Smart Lookup feature found in other Office apps.

Also, it has extensive “Backwards Compatibility” with games in databases such as and coming in handy.

Smart Lookup uses Bing to show contextual information for a highlighted word—while this is undoubtedly useful in Word, I didn’t really find myself using it much while working on spreadsheets. But if you suddenly need to look up everything there is to know about the word “amortization,” Smart Lookup is ready for you. So what’s new and unique to Excel 2016? Quite a few things, starting with the removal of the Standard and Formatting toolbars. While you could hide these in Excel 2011, they’re completely gone—replaced by the task pane—in Excel 2016.

I don’t miss them at all, as they were redundant and took up screen space. Also new is greatly improved sharing. Save your file to OneDrive, and you can then use a sharing button to invite people via their email address, copy a link you can then email to others, or send the workbook as either a PDF or native workbook attachment.

Recipients can (assuming you grant permission) edit your file, even if they don’t own Excel, through Microsoft’s web-hosted Excel app. Fans of pivot tables will find a new slicer tool that greatly increases the usability of pivot tables. A slicer is a way to limit the data you see in a pivot table. In a pivot table showing years of sales by salesperson, for example, you can use slicers to restrict the table to one or more years, or to one or more salespeople. Slicers let you limit what you see in a pivot table; you can add one or more to really refine what you see. Here, only data from 2012, 2013, and 2015 is visible. Another “new” feature is the inclusion of the Analysis Toolpak add-on.
