When I click through multiple tabs of the same workbook in Excel Online, the tabs get re-arranged almost as if I'm dragging them.
This needs to be fixed.

Protect Range/Sheet, Collaboration Range/Sheet, Tracking history of workbook
There are several functions that don't work the same in the online version vs desktop. Besides that, in comparison, Microsoft Excel Online doesn't have advanced features in the Google Sheets. Below are a few that are particularly frustrating to me so far:
~ Protecting features only works in desktop version (not work online)
~ Microsoft Excel Only cannot protect sheets, but Google Sheets can protect sheets or ranges. Therefore, many users can collaborate together with high security in range/ranges, same sheet/sheets in a common workbook.
~ and so many advanced other feature in Google Sheets doesn't appear in Microsoft Excel

When in a meeting we often need to compare two files. Teams keeps shutting down a file while we look at another keep having to re-navigate
When in a meeting we often need to compare two different files. Teams keeps shutting down a file while we look at another. We keep having to fully re-navigate in our attempts to discuss large files that take a while to download. The ability to see 2 files at the same time while screen sharing on teams would be great.

Allow Users to Edit Ranges should function in Excel Online
This functionality would be incredible for several things my office would like to implement if it worked online. Maybe I'm doing something incorrectly but it appears other users have been having the same issues. When I open an excel online file in the desktop app and give specific users permission to edit locked ranges it works when editing on my computer in the desktop app but not when editing on the web app.

Embed spreadsheet in public domain website
I have created a giant financial database that I would like to share on a subscriber-only secured website. The problem is no matter how I share it, the end user is required to sign in to view it. Microsoft used to have the ability to publish on a public website. Is there any way I can get an embed code for my spreadsheet that allows me to share it on a website? Thanks for your time.

Make comments filterable. It would be great to be able to only see "open" comments (i.e. filter out "resolved" comment threads).
Make comments filterable.
It would be great to be able to only see "open" comments (i.e. filter out "resolved" comment threads).
It would also be amazing to be able to filter comments by month that they were added (can you tell that I use the comments to trigger people to help with end of month commentary? Haha!).
Someone else has mentioned being able to filter based on person who is mentioned int eh comment and that would be excellent too.
Great feature that has helped me so far, I just think these changes could take it to the next level.

Excel online should have Filter View functionality like Google Drive
Without Filter View, collaborators are constantly seeing their view change as other collaborators filter on their work. This makes what could be a much needed file unusable for more than 2-3 users. In our team of 20+, users have to save local copies to even work with the file. At that point, there isn't much value and its more of a headache than anything. Private filter views where collaborator can work on the document without other users impeding their progress is absolutely necessary

Allow sharing of an excel file that is stored in MS Teams Group in a MS Team Meeting.
During a meeting, and click on Share, have an option to select a file that is in a MS Teams Group.
Example of current workaround: I added an excel file to our team's MS Team Group. We had a MS Teams Meeting and I could not share that file. I had to share my desktop, then bring up the MS Teams app, navigate to the file I have in the MS Teams Group, and open it and share it via sharing desktop. At that point, I was unable to see the meeting (chat, participants, options, etc). If I click on…
