Having to make the decision between 32bit vs 64bit is a HUGE roadblock to convincing people that you can use Excel for medium sized data and that using the DataModel/DAX is a big productivity gain. Using 32bit excel, you run into memory errors that to the uninformed user make like the product is shit. In (some/many/most?) corporate environments only 32bit is provided because it removes the complexity of people having to deal with the decision of picking 32bit/64bit add-ins.

So the question is, can you/will you/when will you get rid of 32bit Office and have only 64bit office which plays well with 32bit add-ins?

PowerPivot and PowerQuery on the Mac please! ( some worksheets seem to work on Excel web services on SharePoint/OneDrive but it’s buggy and bigger xls break )

Is there a realization with-in the team that the naming around DAX/M/PowerQuery/Get&Transform/PowerPivot/PowerBI is super confusing to people?
Even if you aren't confused, the vocabulary to explain what these things to other people just isn't there. For example, Rob Collie has to spend a whole chapter explaining this in the latest version of his DAX book. (I recently did a PowerBI/PowerPivot lunch learning at work to a bunch of data analysts and most of the time ended up being around this...)
