You can easily check Excel version you are using by looking at the menu or the top ribbon. Open any Microsoft Excel file and look at the top left corner of the file. Depending on how the File button looks, you can easily identify the version of Excel. For Microsoft Excel 2016, you can easily spot the difference.
Under Product Information, you’ll find your Excel version name and, in some cases, the full version number. For more information, click on About Excel. A dialog box opens, showing the full version number and bit version (32-bit or 64-bit). Click on the Excel tab from the menu on top of your screen.
If it looks something like this, you’re still using Excel 2003 (and it’s really time for an upgrade!) Of course if you hit the button (if you have a button in the top left-hand corner, you’re using 2007!) or the File Menu, go to Account and About Excel which should tell you your version as shown here:.
How do I know if I am using Excel 2016?
If it looks like the image below, then congratulations, you’re using the brand spanking new Excel 2016 ! The easiest way to distinguish 2016 from its predacessors is that it is the only version which has got the new “Tell me what you want to do” at the top which is suspiciously like the Office Assistant Paperclip but far less annoying.
Then, do you know the difference between Excel 2013 and 2016?
For Microsoft Excel 2016, you can easily spot the difference. You can see the “Tell me what you want to do” text at the top. It is the only Excel version with this feature. For any other version, this text is not available. If you are using Microsoft Excel 2013, you can see that the Ribbon tabs are all in Capital Letters!
How do I find my current version of Excel?
Look up the version number of your current Excel version. In Excel, click on “File”. In the lower part on the left side click on “Account”. There is a large button with a question mark on the right side. When you click on it, a new window opens. The top of the new window shows the version number.
One frequent answer is, Click on Excel on the Mac Menu Bar and then select About Microsoft Excel. In the About Excel dialog box, all details will be displayed! So, you can either look at the starting screen of the application, the menu ribbon, or the help/about option in Excel to get information like product version, build number, etc.
Do a lot of people actually use Excel?
