Hi all,

I just started a trial for Microsoft 365 Business Standard to access SharePoint. However, I realized that Power Query in Excel cannot connect to SharePoint and refresh data.

So, I tried looking for another plan that better suits my needs. However, I am unsure whether the highlighted line, 'Excel Power Query and Power Pivot,' in the picture below indicates that I can connect Excel data to SharePoint.

And I see there is an option for the E3 Developer plan, but I am not sure if I can still make a payment for this subscription. As some topic mentioned that the E3 Developer plan is not supported anymore.
