If too large for Excel online allow the ability to download the file and open locally.

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

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.

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

When Excel protected files are attached to Hotmail, create a feature where in Hotmail the file can be opened with a password

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!

It helps ease the load of the information. Not all how use file are doing it for view purpose. When one editing they don't need all data to be loaded. So this option of show data will help fast data adding.

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.

How about not opening spreadsheets from Sharepoint in online by default. I want full functionality, so I have either to remember to right click and select proper Excel, or wait for it to open in online, then click on the relevant button and wait again for it to open in proper Excel. This is tedious.

I have to create a excel doc. for every day of the year. and improvements happen, or changes are made I then have to re-label, and save new documents.
but....
if there was a way to save one file, and create multiple copies at one time that would be a game changer/time saver.

i.e.
01-02-2019
01-03-2019
01-04-2019
01-05-2019

and so on, and SO ON.....

Excel desktop, PowerPoint desktop, Teams desktop etc., should be default when opening from a PC, not the online version as is.

right now the default when selecting a file is to open it in the online version of the program. I don't want to open it in the online version, I want to open it on my computer so I want to change the default of how these files are opened and I'm unable to do so.

If files are bigger than 5mb, at least give choice to download please

We should be allowed to download and save excel files which have been uploaded by the other user since last updated. When i download computer asks me username & password which even after filling I cannot open the file.

Tell us the gotchas that force Excel Online to desktop so we can write spreadsheets that don't force desktop. Going back and forth between 2 different versions of the "same" product is so kludgy.

1) Because Excel Online is slow and doesn't have all features, such as VBA, there should always be a button to open in Excel locally (I couldn't find it in a file in a Yammer post)

2) In Share-point (or in all of Windows) it should be possible to select an option to always open xlsx-files in Excel locally .... as the Online-version does not fulfill the full spec of Excel that we use.

Allow opening a file with a password without having to download it

A short-cut folder for my frequently use Excel/ Word file.
Thus, we will able to open the said file in few second.

Please allow online Excel to open larger files, e.g., up to 20mb. This would greatly enhance your products usefulness.
