Where they talk about it
Quotes
- 3:31 "you will see I didn't get calculated amount even if I have 1.2 dollars" - Shows that no amount is calculated until a vehicle type is chosen, even when a standard rate exists.
- 3:56 "Because this is 2016 year. And if I choose truck, you will see this is calculated 2.5 per miles." - Shows the rate being picked by date and vehicle type. The year is said as 2016 although the setup was described as 2026, probably a slip.
- 4:22 "If you do not have different vehicle types, you keep it simple." - Summarises the design: without vehicle types the system picks the amount from the date alone.
Caveats mentioned
- No calculated amount appears until a vehicle type is chosen when vehicle types are configured
Prerequisites mentioned
- Mileage rate setup, and vehicle types if used
Documented features match
- Add date ranges and vehicle types in your mileage calculation - medium confidence (llm). Docs say: Public preview, roadmap id 573254. Calculation from date and vehicle type
Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale. The wider product documentation on learn.microsoft.com was searched for this feature on the same date; the feature's data lists an article when one was found.
