I made heavy use of the Inquire/Compare feature in Excel 2013 in my Office 365 sub. This was a COM Addin. It's not available in the 2016 version even though MS sites say it is. How can I get this functionality back or how do I go back to the previous version? I checked if the functionality was absorbed into the main set of commands but I didn't see anything.

Click: Learn how to compare and merge workbooks in Microsoft Excel at www.teachUcomp.com. A clip from Mastering. To add a button to the Quick Access Toolbar to compare and merge copies of a shared workbook, click the “Customize Quick Access Toolbar” button at the right end of the Quick Access toolbar. Select the “More commands” choice from the button’s drop-down menu. Compare and merge workbooks. When all of the users have finished working with your shared Excel workbook, you can merge all the copies into one file. Open the primary version the shared workbook. Click the Compare and Merge Workbooks command on the Quick Access toolbar.

Here's a page that describes it, but I don't see it in my Excel 2016 COM add-ins either.

Inquire/Combine

The Microsoft developers found a bug and were sending out an update after I raised a stink on it. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2016-excel/excel-2016-com-add-in-inquire-not-loaded-a-runtime/2826f4ea-00f6-4b31-811c-99d68e09ce1c

In Excel 2013 Inquire was available only under certain licenses, such as Pro Plus. I recall reading that MSFT's Office team was supposed to straighten out their convoluted licensing system beginning w/ Office 2016, & IIRC Inquire s/b more widely available.

If Inquire isn't listed under any of the Add-In options, next thing I would check would be Options > Customize Ribbon, to see whether the Inquire tab is hidden by default & simply needs to be enabled, as w/ the Developer tab.

I did look there and added a command called Compare and Merge Workbooks but it's permanently greyed out. I loaded in two spreadsheets obviously, if I was going to compare things. I have the Pro Plus edition. I copied what I think is the relevant addin plus what I guess are its dependent files from another computer to this one but no dice.

As an avid fan of the Inquire tab (PROOF) this greatly upsets me since I just upgraded to 2016. I posted over on MSDN, if I hear something back I'll update.
