Microsoft today announced Microsoft 365 Basic, for $1.99 a month, offering access to the Office apps plus 100GB of cloud storage when it launches later this month.

In addition to announcing the new Basic tier, Microsoft also announced the general availability of the Microsoft 365 app, which replaces the Microsoft Office app.

Microsoft promised that Basic would not replace the free option, however Microsoft will be migrating subscribers of the 100GB OneDrive plan to Microsoft 365 Basic for no additional cost.

There are three courses on Microsoft Excel in this bundle. The first two span basics like creating new workbooks and data to more advanced techniques like creating pivot tables and graphs.

From basic to advanced spreadsheets, pivot tables, formulas, and more, Microsoft Excel is the everyday workhorse behind data management.

Microsoft 365 Copilot introduces a new "Clean Data" feature in Excel, enabling users to address common data issues like text inconsistencies.
