Databricks Add-In for Excel & Government Use

Shaw III, Edward 0

Is there a estimated timeline in which Databricks Add-in for Excel will be available for Government Use? Currently, our working community has a considerable population that relies on spreadsheet analysis and they require a means to access live data within our Databricks data-lake to more efficiently conduct their duties. I discovered the Databricks Add-In for Excel in my investigation to develop a solution for this challenge. I believe it would greatly benefit my workforce and strengthen our current technological partnership utilizing all that M365 has to offer.

Good day Shaw III,

Based on the current Microsoft documentation, the Azure Databricks add-in for Excel isn't supported in Azure Government or Azure China environments at this time.

As a forum user, I cannot confirm a timeline for availability in GCC, GCC High or DoD. I hope you understand that I don’t have the ability to modify or escalate product issues directly.

I definitely see how the Azure Databricks add-in for Excel is helpful and effective for your company's workflow. It isn't just about aesthetics; these differences can genuinely affect how smoothly work gets done and how easily employees navigate their day.

Given that, I strongly recommend submitting your feedback through the Azure Databricks · Community. This is the most effective way to ensure your voice reaches the Databricks product team and can be considered for future improvements.

Once you've submitted your feedback, feel free to share the link here in the comments. I’ll be happy to upvote it to help bring more visibility.

Additionally, as other users have raised similar concerns and may not be aware of where to share their feedback, I hope this response helps clarify the situation. Highlighting this information can make it more visible to others in the community who may be facing the same issue, making it easier for them to find guidance and contribute their feedback as well.

Thank you again for your time and for raising this important usability concern.
