Allow easy embeding like Word & PowerPoint
Word and PowerPoint online have embedding options that generates an embed code for you to embed documents direction into other websites. It would be great to have that for Excel as well. While you can manually create a working embed code, it'd be much easier as an option just like with Word and PowerPoint!
1 voteGreat news – we have this functionality already. In Excel Online, click on the File menu in the Ribbon, then Embed.
Hope that helps,

Ability to change the column width and row height

CSV import exceeding row limit
Allow CSV files that exceed the row limit of Excel to be imported somehow (multiple sheets maybe). Even the function to start importing CSV at a certain row in the import wizard doesn't work properly
1 voteHi Colin,
This is possible today using PivotTables (import the CSV directly into a PivotTable) or using Power Query or Power Pivot (which brings the data into the Data Model).
I’m closing out the idea to release the votes back to you!

Allow find down to be found on search as find next or...
Given the differences between excel online and the desktop app, i would suggest that things such as Find next be a bit more visible as options, or at least make a link to the keyboard shortcuts more visible.

Print survey option
I need a print version of my survey with the multiple choice options ready to be circled or bubbled-in. Most of my class can do the survey/test online but sometimes students have special needs, I have more students than computers, or students who were absent need to do the quiz at a different time/place without online access.

Allow for adding more Excel options into the Excel Online Survey ie. automatically timedate stamp each entry expand features set
I work in K-12 education. While the Excel Survey Tool is useful, it is extremely limited. Google Apps for Ed forms have far more features and teachers are willing to ditch Office 365 just to get the features they need in online forms. For starters, need to add timedate stamp for each survey entry, allow for multiple answers in a choice question (ie. choose up to 3 from the 5 in this list). Ideally allow users to contribute features and offer up multiple Excel Online surveys to chose from. As currently implemented the Excel Online Survey Tool suggests Microsoft is…

Add more functions like data validation, sheet protection to on-prem version
On-prem version is too far behind of online verion
28 votesHi all,
Great news – we’ve made much of the functionality that was previously available only in the hosted Office Online offering available on-prem. Data Validation, Sheet Protection, etc. are available there now.
To read more, and learn how to get the updated on-prem version, please see this blog post: https://blogs.office.com/2016/05/04/office-online-server-now-available/
(and yeah, sorry it took a while to update this UserVoice idea – we completed this idea back in May!)
