Fix bug where the Related Dates under Info is wrong when the document is created either on desctop och in a folder
When an excel-document is created either in a folder or on the desktop by using using right mouse click then New Microsoft Excel Sheet, then the date is wrong. Not only in my Excel in others too. Serious problem when satisfying version history relating to certain quality standards such as ISO 27001

When opening an excel file, always show the sheet from cell A1 and not somewhere in the middle
I'd like to suggest the function when opening a excel file, the sheet should always show cell A1 in order to avoid the mistake to think the sheet is empty, eventhough it's not. When the sheet is moved and no content is available, a person which is not familiar with the file, could think that the file is empty, eventhough it's not!

CSV Save Warning When you Have Multiple Sheets
If you download a CSV file and add new sheets, I have accidentally saved the file in the current CSV file, thereby losing all sheets beyond "Sheet 1".
A simple warning box, applying when you are saving a CSV file with multiple sheets would suffice. It could also suggest saving in XLS.

Create utility to trim unused rows and columns
Oftentimes workbooks get to be huge, because for some reason on some tab the number of columns gets close to 16,384 and/or the number of rows gets close to 1,048,576, and even though most of those at the end are unused, they still cost megabytes in file saze. Create a utility that looks for empty rows at the bottom of every tab, empty columns on the right of every tabs, and eliminates them.

Don't ask for confirmation when closing a CSV file that hasn't changed
Pretty much all banks allow downloads to .csv files, so at the end of the month I often have a few such files open at the same time. To see content I select all and double-click to widen all columns. Then when I close the files I have to answer "don't save" to each one in turn.
This is a waste of time as I haven't changed any data, and column-widths can't be saved in a .csv file.
Can you please change excel so that it doesn't ask that question if a .csv file is being closed without having changed…

Continuous Visibility of Password Entering Window for Locked Excel Files
If an excel file is locked and when user enters incorrect password by mistake, the password entering window (Pop-up) will go away. Then user needs to close the excel program and again he/she will click on same file just to enter password!
Can you do it like pdf file? Adobe will keep the password entering pop-up open until you enter correct password.

Microsoft needs to enable autosave for all products.
Not a new idea--this feature has been available on previous versions of Microsoft products. Autosave needs to be available for all products whether or not files are saved in OneDrive or SharePoint. What made Microsoft think customers ALL work in OneDrive or SharePoint? We also use network drives that are not on OneDrive and personal computers where we save files on a hard drive. It is infuriating to not have autosave available!!! Poor customer service!
BTW--I don't sign in to OneDrive on my personal computer because I DON"T WANT all my devices synced. I don't want to hear my cell…

You destroyed the save feature
I was able to save downloaded files into recently used folders with a few clicks. The update I was required to download removed that feature and took a nice backward step - or two.

Opening another document
When opening another document, keep the other documents from the same application in their same location on the screen. Minimized docs popup and non-minimized docs move. Both of these are really annoying because I have to adjust them. I believe this also happens in Word.

Dedicated XML extension for Excel
I have a web application that generates a file based on Open XML standards for EXCEL and saves it with the .xls extension. Excel always complains about the file format but still opens the file. I can't use the .xml extension as I don't know what programs the end users will have associated with .xml if they have anything associated at all. Please give us a file extension that would always be recognized and associated as an Excel file in xml format such as .xmlx or .xmls

Have an option to choose which of the lists of files (Recent & Pinned) shows up by default when clicking on the 'File' tab.
As the 'Recent' files list is not in alphabetical order and they show up by default, it would be useful to be able to choose which list comes up first (by default) when you click on the File' tab. The 'Pinned' list is in alphabetical order so makes finding the file quicker when you have a lot of files to scroll down. (see image). If this choice does already exist I haven't been able to locate it anywhere.
