Open Excel application automatically
It would be great if there was an option to open the Excel application automatically instead of having to manually click "Open in Excel".

Would be good to be able to download large files...
I get that Excel online can only open files up to 5 MB, but if the file is larger I do not see the option to download it

Improve locked files
If I accidentally leave a file open on another computer, I should still be able to edit it on the next computer/online program. I signed in with the same accounts.

when a colleague has locked a file and then parts on holiday we cannot do anything. There should be a max duration of locking, e.g. 24h.

Excel Online should be able to open a XLST file properly
If I have a stored template file in OneDrive Excel Online should be able to handle it properly, i.e., it should open a file based on the template and prompt to name it. Then it should behave as normal. Not having this function seems bizarre.
I want to store a couple of template files in OneDrive so I can always get at them and use them from wherever I am working. Easy.
Thanks.

Allow option to open file in Excel Desktop instead of Excel Online when sharing links
Excel online does not offer all the functionality of Excel desktop version, E.g. lacking macros/VBA, and the formatting often looks incorrect and unprofessional (Date formats incorrect and worksheets not opening with cell set to A1/halfway down the page despite the original file definitely set to A1 - amongst many other issues).
My colleagues and many others just want a simple option to allow opening a shared file in desktop Excel rather than Excel Online by default! Please allow us this very simple request, as it is stopping us from utilising many potential benefits of Office 365!

don't let me enter data if I can't save it
when an excel spreadsheet opens up, it allows data entry but you can't save your work. You need to Open it in Excel. Why allow the user to waste time entering things they can't save

Ability to create major versions from within Excel Online (511 minor versions limitation)
There is no option to create a new major version while inside a Excel Online spreadsheet--you have to go out to the document library and publish a major version, then go back in. This is problematic when you are coauthoring a file and you reach the 511 minor versions limit--no one knows what happens next in a coauthoring scenario (does everyone have to get out and go back in?), and there is no documentation about this scenario other than the warning that the last version will simply be overwritten going forward (does everyone get the error message?).
Alternatively, you could…

If a file is too big to open in excel online, it should just launch excel without me having to
If a file is too big to open in excel online it should simply launch Excel without asking me if I want to do that. If I clicked on the file to begin with, I obviously want to open it, regardless if it is online or in the desktop app
