This is a bit confusing:

<quote>Telemetry Dashboard is an Excel workbook that is configured to connect to a telemetry database. Telemetry Dashboard is installed together with Office Professional Plus 2013, Office Standard 2013, and Office 365 ProPlus editions of Office 2013. To view it, you must have Excel 2013 installed.</quote>

So the dashboard is installed with Office 2013 and later version, but can only be viewed with Office 2013?

Or is this also possible in later versions?

Greetings,

Karel.

Hi Karel,

I'm not quite sure what exactly you mean by "later versions". All these three mentioned versions of Office are all actually Office 2013.

If you install any of these three versions of Office, you will have Telemetry Dashboard installed on your machine.

Since Telemetry Dashboard is basically an Excel workbook that displays compatibility and inventory data, to view it, you will need Excel 2013 installed. (Some might customize the Office 2013 installation exclude individual Office components).

I hope this will alleviate your confusion, please let me know if you have any doubts.
