Looking for Outlook Standalone Version
« on: May 25, 2021, 09:50:04 AM »
Hello,
I'm looking if anyone can point me toward where to buy (or just download) Outlook as a standalone product, 2013 or 2016 or something.

I uninstalled Office 365 when they switched my Excel to the @ formula thing and my whole computer started lagging. I put on an old license of Office 2013, but for some reason it doesn't include Outlook


Thanks...

The full installer should allow you to customize and choose to install only a single application, as in only outlook.

DId i miss something in excel?
Excel added a thing in the formulas (in the 365 newest version) which allows the output to spill over (automatically) into adjacent cells - along the lines of Google Docs formulas like FILTER, IMPORTRANGE, UNIQUE, and the like. Essentially, from looking at it quickly, it seems to turn all formulas by default into array formulas, with the @ character preface making the formula a non array regular formula (and you're not required to include the @ in fact, so really it's just making array formulas not require the traditional entry, or something like that).

On my computer the loading of the popups when typing in Excel became so slow that I would press tab to move forward in the formula and it would close the formula; and the tabs in Chrome started behaving weird.

I'll try again, but I recall that the product did not include Outlook at all...

Nope it's in the newest desktop version
I recall there may always be differences between 365 and non 365 versions even if on newest though
Probably in Office online also

You need the Pro Plus or Professional or Home & Business editions of Office.

The Home & Student edition doesn't include outlook.

It's also in non-365 versions. Actually pretty cool...

I don't see how this change could have had such a bad effect, for most normal formulas this is no change in the way it is calculated or displayed.

Are you saying your Excel sometimes slows to a crawl when you use formulas? Because something similar has been happening to me as well and it’s terribly annoying.

No no
It has a bit of a lag or a latency related to the little helper popup / autocomplete formula thing. So if I press the tab key to accept the autocompleted formula suggestion, instead of Excel doing that, it actually closes the formula and moves to the next cell (because the formula suggestion autocomplete thing had in fact not finished popping up before I had pressed the tab key...). Whereas before that update, and now that I downgraded, its a seamless intuitive UX

Regarding Excel slowing to a crawl:
Chances are the workbook has become 'volatile', and at that point the workbook needs to be entirely recalculated on each change (whereas under normal circumstance Excel will 'know' that all the other calculations outside of the cell(s) affected by the change are remaining the same, and it will calculate only the affected cells). The easy solution is to turn calculation to 'manual' under the 'formulas' tab (but don't forget to recalculate then....). The ideal solution is to build the formulas in an efficient way for Excel...
Google around a bit on that maybe will find a solution.

I did notice that after downgrading to Excel 2013 last week I am seeing issues like that one more often, which I didn't have at all in the up to date versions....
