Inquire add-in

Most Excel features are baked into the software, but sometimes Microsoft provides features through a type of software known as add-ins. I discuss the Solver add-in for Excel for Windows in Chapter 6, What-If Analysis. Since you cannot enable add-ins within Excel for macOS the Solver feature is built into the Data tab of the Ribbon. Let’s turn our attention to the Inquire add-in, which is available in Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. I’m going to cross my fingers and hope you can access this great feature:

  1. Choose File | Account.
  2. As shown in Figure 9.19, the Account screen may display Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, or it may simply reference Microsoft 365.

If you don’t see the words Apps for enterprise as shown in Figure 9.19, then this section will be a dead end for you; otherwise, read on to see how to enable the Inquire add-in:
