← Excel for the web

There is no way to select non-adjacent cells as in normal Excel.

In order to tot-up figures, it is useful to be able to use Ctrl+click and select different cells. There is no functionality in Excel online to do this currently.

    Microsoft are you listening? it's quite annoying that this feature has still not been added

    From the comments this has been a sought after (missing) feature for almost 5 years! So have you actually added any missing functionality in 5 years. I agree with some of the comments below - noticed this within 5 minutes, so in a remote working world why on earth has this not been done yet? Google had this from day dot. Guess that is where I am heading back to, and i don't even need to have a paid account.

    Any timeline for getting this fix?
    Without this function, Excel online does not serve my use case.

    I cannot believe that I just paid to upgrade Excel, specifically to work with One Drive, and I cannot use a simple tool (highlighting non adjacent tools) that I use constantly on Excel. Seriously?

    Wee need this feature, why is Microsoft so resistant to let this function to work on the online version?

  • Dominic K commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I don't know if this works on Excel web for Windows, but it doesn't work for Excel web on Mac. This is a pretty crucial function so hopefully this happens soon.

    Say it together everyone: FINALLY

    This is one of the reasons I would use Google Sheets instead Excel Online, also a missing feature that became apparent within 5 minutes of using Excel Online for the first time.

    In the times of remote working, nobody wants to install desktop apps.
    You'd better improve your web versions with the same features as desktop.
    If not, people will still find Google solutions more helpful.
