What Version Of Excel Do I Have 2013

Right now you might be wondering to yourself, “how do I find what version of Excel do I have?”

It’s a good question too, because Microsoft Excel has been around since 1985! Now this guide is going to assume you aren’t chugging along with the 1985 version, but we will show you how to find the most popular versions still in use today.

However, if the edited Excel is saved and closed, recovery is not so easy. In the following content, we will discuss how to recover previous version of Excel file 2016, 2013, 2010, and 2007 in two cases. One is restoring older Excel version if you've saved the file, the other is recovering the previous version of Excel if you haven't saved it. First, select “File” from the main menu. The select “Account” from the left menu. Then select “About Excel” from the box on the right. The text at the top of the dialog will show if Excel is 32 or 64 bit.

You will find the ‘file’ menu in all Microsoft Office programs. It will usually be the first tab on the top bar- on the top left. See the below graphic for more information.

The file menu is home to a lot of powerful features, whether you are using Excel 2016 or Excel 2007. I would recommend looking for more information in the file tab.

Once you've found the 'Account' menu, click on 'About Excel'

The account menu also includes information about Excel version updates, and allows you to change your Office theme. The Office theme I use is the dark theme as you can see in the screenshots. It’s much easier on the eyes when you work with these programs all of the time!

And there it is! Your version of Microsoft Excel. Again, if you have Excel through a Microsoft Office Suite, then you will see the same across all of your Office programs. Looking at mine below, I am using Office 365, the 32-bit version.

What does it all mean? Well, because I am using Office 365, which is a cloud based subscription service that stores most of Office in the Cloud and Onedrive, We can see that version listed here. Let’s break it down bit-by-bit to make it easier to understand.

Microsoft Excel for Office 365 is the program and service I’m using.

MSO stands for Microsoft Office

(16.0.11929.20708) is the version number and shows if there have been any updates or not. You can install the latest Microsoft Office updates here.

The end will either be 32-bit or 64-bit. Here’s a quick summary of the differences. The 32-bit version is lighter weight and can run on 32-bit system (or older systems to put it simply) and 64-bit means it can run and use more memory, which is great when dealing with large amounts of data. For most people, 32-bit will do the trick, but consider upgrading it to 64-bit if you think you might need the extra oomph!

Probably not! If you do not see this menu you probably have an older version. In that case follow the below steps:

Go to the ‘help tab’ on the top bar
Choose the last menu option ‘About Microsoft Excel’
It will display your current version!

Alright, then you may have Excel 2007 or 2010. In that case follow the below:

Click the Office button in the top left on the top bar. It looks like this:
Then click ‘Excel Options’
Then click ‘Resources’
Then click ‘About’
And you should see your version number!

Alright, if you STILL DON’T See your version number, then I’m impressed! You’ve navigated to this site with a dinosaur of a device. But hey, it’s possible. I’m not going to go in to detail on how to find those version numbers, but I recommend upgrading if possible as the new Excel’s have A TON OF POWERFUL FEATURES that will make your life so much easier. But if you do need help still, leave a comment and I’ll make sure to find it out for you!

We all know Microsoft Office available in the flavor of 32-bit and 64-bit. The difference between them is the data processing capability where 64-bit is superior compared to 32-bit. It is important to know which Office version that we have to make sure it fits the work requirement that we need to do or compatibility with plug-ins that we want to install. But you may be wondering, How to Find if I Have 32-bit or 64-bit Office Version? Well, you’ve come to the right place because in this article I am going to show you how it’s done.

How to Find if I Have 32-bit or 64-bit Office Version

Finding out the 32-bit or 64-bit Office version is very easy. We only need to follow these simple step-by-steps to do so:

1. I will begin by opening any one of the Office applications. In this example I’m using Microsoft Word. You can use other Office applications such as Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, etc.

2. On the top ribbon, click on the File tab

3. On the left-hand side, click on Account

4. Then on the right-hand side, click on the question mark (?). In this example since I’m using Microsoft Word, the descriptive text of the button is About Word. If you’re using another Office applications then it will have different descriptive text, but it doesn’t matter and you can still click on it.

5. Finally, there we can see the version of Office that we used.
