    I know setting get and transform(power query) to excel online would be a large task. But at least being able to fetch some data from sharepoint list etc should be possible

  7. Excel Desktop vs Excel Online - online version should have all/most of the same features

    There are several functions that don't work the same in the online version vs desktop. Below are a few that are particularly frustrating to me so far:

    ~ Paste/Formatting - When pasting into the online version, the format doesn't stay.

    ~ Sorting - There are very limited sorting options in the online version.

    ~ Copying data. I have about 300 lines of data that's about 10 columns wide and am unable to copy it so that I can paste it into another document and sort it the way I need (since online version has limited options for sorting, as mentioned…

  11. Lock/Unlocking worksheet ordering.

    I am always reordering the worksheets by accident when changing sheets. We should have a way to lock and unlock the worksheet bar to avoid dragging them out of order.

  16. Will the new Dyanmic Array features be coming to Excel Online (Sort / Sequence / Filter / Unique etc)

    Hi,
    I'vev just heard about the new dynamic array formulas that are coming to Excel very soon (monthly channel).

    Sort / Sequence / Filter / Unique etc

    Will these also be added to Excel Online? These features are extremely powerful and I would love to utilise these formulas on spreadsheets that I share with my colleagues with.

  19. Please make it easy to have alternating row colors.

    Why is it so challenging to create alternating colors for rows? It's as if I need a degree in Excel to understand where to do this and how to write the formula. Google Sheets makes it easy. Please, make it easy for us newbies too!
