Maintain hidden rows/columns in "sheet view" so other users are not affected by the change
Sheets view offers a private view of the Excel sheet when sorted or filtered, another common change is hiding rows/columns but that currently affects all users when sharing document.
Allow for row/column views to remain private in Sheet View so others are not affects.

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

prevent users applying filters for all - force sheet view only
Can you prevent users accidentally applying filters that everyone sees in Excel online? Essentially force filters to be in 'Sheet View'. This is particularly useful in large collaborative documents with multiple simultaneous users inputting different data

get an external URL for a specific cell in an Excel file
In Teams have the ability to get an external URL for a specific cell rather than just the entire excel file. Oftentimes we are trying to point staff to a particular sheet within the file and a cell within that sheet rather than just go to the file and then have to find it.

URL to saved sheet view (filter)
This is available on google sheets and is incredibly useful. You can link directly to a sheet view so someone can click on a link and not only get to the excel workbook online .. but have it sort and filter automatically.

When the excel online is shared to several people, another person will see the filtering make by another person.
It is great if everyone can make their own filter and edit on the range hide by another person.

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.

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.

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.
