Add the ability to zoom a workbook in the web browser, without zooming the entire browser window.

(2015-11-05 Dan [MS] - updated idea title and description to be clearer.)

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.

Can only search up or down. Need to be able to search whole workbook like in excel for desktop. Would really love to see this fixed!

In the desktop version of Excel, clicking one of the column headers will display the filter options. This includes the free text search box which initially gets focus. This makes it very easy for users to click, type and hit enter to filter the data.

Within Excel Online, similar functionality is available but it's much more tucked away. So more clicking and thus time is required to achieve the same result. Our users like the effectiveness of the desktop solution and would like to request a similar approach for Excel Online.

If excel is locked send notification to user who locked excel file

As above

In the desktop app, right-clicking the "next sheet" arrow will give you a drop-down of sorts to choose the active sheet.

This functionality is not available in excel online... I have multiple workbooks that have 50+ sheets to navigate through and it would be great to be able to have this functionality while using excel-online.

I'd try to copy one of the sheets but I couldn't fine the How to. :/

Vlookup formula loses focus when you lookup between sheets

Doing a lookup between sheet 1 and sheet 2 force the user

We are currently experiencing a bug in which the worksheet tabs within excel online are stacked. Instead of just being one row, it instead gives 4 rows of tabs. I have an image but do not see a place to upload the image. We use it as a schedule and having access to many days at a time is quite beneficial.

Particularly applies for named cells.

There's a stock popup right now that warns a tab may or may not have data. A counter of data (bytes) or cells with data would be neat for powerusers or for collaboration teams that move through a high number of tabs.

Have the ability to freeze specific rows and columns at the same time...

old revs had this option - with a slide bars at the right, and the top- please bring it back.
now you can only freeze a row, OR a column, in the middle of a worksheet. Sometimes you need to freeze multiple columns and rows on huge sheets

I have a spreadsheet with multiple worksheets (tabs). When using Excel online, I'm only able to see the first worksheet. It would be great to be able to select which worksheet to view.

writing in arabic begins from right to left as known so there must be a button on the office cloud interface that a user can switch the direction from Right-To-Left and from Left-To-Right for example columns' captions must be A, B, C, D, etc .... from Right-To-Left Enabled too.

The option to view the file is futile if the viewer cannot actually do so. I would remove the password

please make it more user friendly the same as current microsoft excel

When I click on a cell, and need quick access to a comment, it would be much easier for me if I could see a preview of the comments in a pop up box.
