Office 2021 and Python 3.10

In the News

Office 2021 and Python 3.10 were both released last week, just 1 day apart from each other (is it a sign?). Excel 2021 finally got dynamic arrays and the XLOOKUP formula, while Python got the match/case statement and more precise Tracebacks. Note that Excel 2021 is the version of Excel that comes with a permanent license. Dynamic arrays and XLOOKUP have been available with Microsoft 365 (previously known as Office 365) for some time now.
