Please keep excel from growing further. It's a shame to learn where to look for a known function with every release and its a pain that some "new" features clearly show we users are deemed the most stupid being on the planet, since microsoft excel always knows better what and how we want to do it. I'm quite annoyed at all the new cloudy things like "share" that cannot be disabled with reasonable effort. And if you keep going, you push me to use somtehing else.

Make Excel obey the "scroll inactive windows" setting in Windows 10. Currently Excel will scroll when it is an inactive window, but it will not allow other windows to scroll when it is the active window. This makes transcribing data from a source that needs to be scrolled difficult.

DEAR MICROSOFT TEAM, PLEASE DON'T BE AN IDIOT BY TELLING US THAT GOING ONLINE MEANS TO DELIVER BETTER CONTENT!!!

NO MATTER HOW GRACIOUS GOOD YOUR CONTENT IT WILL BE NEVER DELIVERED TO US WITHOUT INTERNET OR AREA WHERE THERE IS NO INTERNET ACCESS!!!

Current user documentation is not bad but could be improved with more examples.

Many Excel UI elements support hidden features which are activated by holding down the shift key. One example is the find dialog: press the shift key and "Find Next" acts as "Find previous".
I would like to ask for two things:
- Update button captions to reflect the new action
- Add something to the tooltips of controls what happens if shift is pressed when clicked.

Opening a .PBIT prompts for Query Parameter values. This same behavior is needed for Excel Power Query reports saved as .XLTX.

MS Word has allowed customisation of keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl + Shift + S for Save As) but Excel doesn't. Please address this. Thanks.

I have a few suggestions with regard to comments boxes.

1. Currently we cannot make one comment box common for two or more cells.

2. Color of the comment box: Can we have multiple colors (This will help the user assign one color for some category of comments).

3. Currently we can have only one comment box per cell. Can we have one more - one of each color

Excel use to have a really nice offline help feature that I would like access to again.

Can we have some intellisense and improved ability to reference Power Query functions in this window. It's quite a pain to have to go off to a separate guide on Power Query functions when you just need a bit of help to get going - in terms of what function you should use and / or the arguments it takes

It would be a great improvement if DATES were handled according to the system settings, not based on the assumption that everyone uses the mm/dd/yyyy format.
This assumption is embedded in VBA and CSV translation, and causes significant frustration for users outside USA who have a different date format. In Australia, where I am, we use dd/mm/yyyy!

I would find very usefull to scroll with my mouse in a data validation list. Today I need to use the scroll bar by clicking on it.

Currently, to open Unicode encoded CSV file in Excel, you would need to go through cumbersome import process. for example:
http://smallbusiness.chron.com/open-utf8-excel-63726.html

Just opening the CSV file will cause some characters displayed as garbled.

Please add the functionality for Excel to automatically recognize CSV contains Unicode and display it properly (like Notepad for example).

This is similar as an ask for Excel for Mac:

How can I link a cell as Chart Title for waterfall charts.

(I previously submitted this but, with the wrong title)

I use the formula editor a lot to troubleshoot long formulas. It would be nice to back-step at least 3 steps from the current step.

Say, I've got a formula that errors out on the 15th step. I have to start all over again to carefully step through again to see what happened. It would be helpful to go back a few steps, then forward again.

I run Excel 2010 on on PC and Excel 2013 on the other one, travelling. PLEASE bring back VBA offline help to Excel VBA help...The recently downloaded Excel 2013 Developer Documentation.chm quality is far beyond the Excel 2010 VBA help.
Thanks
