Add a CSV mode
Excel is currently designed so that the CSV file format is not an Excel file format. The "Open" and "Save" functions make this clear.
However, if Excel had a "CSV mode", it could be the world's leading CSV editor. Such a mode would be able to be associated with .csv files and would remove all the Excel features that create data that cannot be saved in the CSV format. While in this mode, the file would by default be saved as a CSV.
If a user wanted to use Excel's full functionality with the file, they would need to enable…

When excel opens you should show PINNED files before showing RECENT files; what's the point of having pinned items? Am I missing something
Open excel showing PINNED files first. What's the point of showing RECENT files before showing PINNED files? that's totally inefficient and illogical. Or, am I missing some setting to fix that problem. If so where's the setting?
You have recent files all over the place, like Quick access etc.

Autosave & Save: Incremental
Improve Autosave feature so that there is an option to autosave to hard drive and not the default of One Drive. Some don't have that option and others like myself don't want to save valuable data to the cloud!
Add an option to both autosave and save to enable incremental backups. So that when you save you not only save as per normal, but you also save a backup and save the backup file as an incremental save adding (1) (for example ) to the filename.
This gives you a current save with which you continue to work with and…

Make Excel provide the reason it couldn't open a "corrupt" .ods file
Hi,
I'm creating a public C++ library [1] to CRUD .ods files, and while LibreOffice works great, MS Excel usually fails to open the .ods files generated by my library by just saying it was corrupt. It would be very helpful if it provided the reason it thinks the file is corrupt to make MS Excel compatible with my library's output .ods files.1 vote -
Option to disable auto-recover........please!
I know the auto-save feature has been around for years now, but I'm finally done with it. I can't remember a single time where it's saved me from disaster. But I can tell you I've wasted countless minutes over the years trying to manage additional versions of the same file. In almost all cases I discover the auto-recovered file is the same as the original anyway. Time wasted - Yes; Lost data recovered - None! Please give us an option to turn auto-recover off!

Use default windows explorer for saving files. Your unique UI sucks ***
Your Save / Save As UI is terrible. Why did you create something new when you could've defaulted to an experience 100% of your users are already familiar with?

Excel Save As - Does not work unless 'More options...' selected! because read-only
Save As - Does not work unless 'More options...' selected!
I tried saving this file as, but when I select the correct file in the new Microsoft Excel interface, it says read-only.
However, I just need to select 'More options...'
I think this is a bug guys!!
Slan!
