Microsoft Excel New Year 2026
We couldn't read Microsoft Excel's site on Nov 12, 2026, so we can't say yet whether it has a New Year sale.
Black Friday: is there a Microsoft Excel sale?
How we check
Every day from November to mid-January a script reads Microsoft Excel’s front page and pricing page on microsoft.com, and any page they link to that looks like a sale. When Microsoft Excel’s own page names New Year and an amount off, this page changes to show it, quoted word for word with a link. The last time, the site blocked our reader or did not answer, so a sale could be there that we can't see. We don’t copy codes from coupon sites, and we earn nothing if you buy.
