New documentation site

Previously, all documentation for the components of ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 were on separate sites dedicated to ArcGIS for Excel, ArcGIS for SharePoint, ArcGIS for Power BI, and ArcGIS for Teams. Now, all reference help is in one place on the new ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 documentation site.  This site also includes documentation for ArcGIS Connectors for Power Automate, a low code/no code solution to enhance your Microsoft and ArcGIS workflows.

Function Builder

Using formulas in Microsoft Excel is one of the most efficient ways to work with your Excel data. ArcGIS for Excel includes similar functions that you can access from the Function Builder tool on the toolbar.

Function Builder now includes drop-down menus for parameters, such as spatial_reference and data_collections, to make constructing Excel functions even easier. Learn more in the ArcGIS for Excel Function Builder—Access custom functions from ArcGIS toolbar Esri Community blog article.

ArcGIS for Office retirement

To streamline ArcGIS for Microsoft 365, ArcGIS for Excel has replaced ArcGIS for Office. As of June 1, 2023, ArcGIS for Office has been retired. Esri no longer supports previous versions of ArcGIS for Office. You will need to re-create maps from ArcGIS for Office in ArcGIS for Excel after you deploy ArcGIS for Excel. For more information, see the Prepare for the retirement of ArcGIS for Office blog article.
