Please create a FILTERJSON (FILTROJSON) worksheet function
Hi. How about creating a FILTERJSON function? It would make our life easier allowing us to get JSON data with less workarounds.
Oi. Que tal criarem uma função de planilha FILTROJSON? Tornaria a nossa vida mais fácil nos permitindo obter dados em formato JSON com menos soluções alternativas.

"Excel found a problem with one or more formula references" - Please tell me where!
One of my least favorite messages that Excel provides is:
"Excel found a problem with one or more formula references in this worksheet. Check that the cell references, range names, defined names, and links to other workbooks in your formulas are all correct."
But I can never find the bad references. It's usually buried somewhere very deep, in a chart series formula, or in a name definition, or who knows where else.
If Excel finds a problem, please Excel, tell us where it is.

SUMCOLS and SUMROWS functions for Dynamic Arrays
Create new functions that SUM each column in a dynamic array (SUMCOLS(Ref#)) to produce a row of totals, and SUM each row to produce a column of totals (SUMROWS(Ref#))
Also COUNTCOLS, COUNTROWS, AVERAGECOLS, AVERAGEROWS, but these are less important than SUMCOLS & SUMROWS.

Add a MONTHDIF function
The formula should work like the YEARFRAC function. It should calculate partial months on either end of the dates. So starting 1/15/20 should calculate as 16/31 days or 0.516.. months, and ending at 6/5/20 should calculate as 25/30 day or 0.8333.. months. Currently, I have to use a ridiculously long formula to achieve this.

[Excel Currency Conversion Function] add Tezos XTZ (Cryptocurrency)
Please add support for Tezos in this function.
Tezos is very popular and provides formal verification for Smart-Contracts, on-chain-Governance and it is the first Blockchain which is amendable (without the need of so called "Hardforks"). Ticker symbol is $XTZ.48 votes -
Convert Dynamic Arrays into Tables
The new Dynamic Arrays make possible to automatically fill down formulas. Tables can also fill down formulas. Microsoft Excel Team could make both features be compatible so we could convert Dynamic Arrays into Tables making them expand and shrink according to the main formula.

vlookup case sensitive

Have a date function that is shows the date of when a data point was entered
We'd like to have a function in which we could see the date of when a data point was entered into the system. Like that we wouldn't have to enter the date manually every time we entered a data point into the spreadsheet. it would be like an if statment, example( =IF(B3<>" ",DateOfEntry()," ")) the function itself would be the "DateOfEntry()" the issue we have with Today() is that it updates every day and therefore every time we enter the spreadsheet the date information is updated to the current date and we arent able to have proper tracking of the…

Text to Formula
A formula to convert text to a formula; which is essentially the exact opposite of the FORMULATEXT function, or in a way, what the INDIRECT function does with cell references but with formulas.

COUNT.DISTINCT Values
Proposal for a built-in function for: Count distinct/unique values in a range
There might be a dedicated function for counting distinct values in a specific range.
Currently the following function is a solution:
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF([RANGE],[RANGE]))However beginner-level users would like probably a predefined parametric function, sg like this:
=COUNT.DISTINCT([RANGE])Thank you.

Add a CONTAINS("find_text","within_text") Function
Excel's own documentation recommends pairing the ISNUMBER and SEARCH functions to accomplish this, but I still have team members asking on a regular basis for a function that returns whether a string is found within a given cell. An out of the box CONTAINS() function would go a long way for usability.

How About an downend and rightend function
I have to use a OFFSET fuction for a dinamic array and I was thinking is a good idea have the posibility to use a new function for detect the last column/row in an area like in VBA. Something like:
=OFFSET(A1,1,0,1,COUNTA(RIGHTEND(A1,1)))where RIGHTEND be like
=RIGHTEND(cell_reference,0 or 1 can be right or left)Same case for DOWNEND
= DOWNEND(cell_reference, 0 or 1 for up or down)It can be vey practical.
Thanks!

Pull Current Stock Prices and Historical Data Into Excel
Now that our ability to use Yahoo! Finance's API to pull in stock information via the WEBSERVICE() function and import historical information is officially dead (thanks Verizon!), the only viable option currently is to use Google sheets to pull in stock information.
It would be awesome if Excel could import data from MSN Money so us users can continue to use spreadsheets to monitor our portfolios.
1,025 votesHi everyone,
Stock data types are now available to all Windows Office 365 subscribers with an English editing language installed (our data is only available in English at this time). You can find some instructions on how to use the feature here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/get-a-stock-quote-e5af3212-e024-4d4c-bea0-623cf07fbc54. The feature will also be appearing in Excel for Mac and Excel Online in early 2019 – as usual, Office Insiders will see the feature before the general population. See http://aka.ms/officeinsider for more info.One pro tip to locate instruments on a different exchange is to include an ISO country code alongside the symbol, for instance MX MSFT will tell Excel to grab Microsoft from the Mexican stock exchange instead of Nasdaq. We’ll be publishing more thorough documentation in the near future.
We also acknowledge that this is only half of the requested feature in this suggestion – the current stock prices piece. The ability to…

Modify the Optional Search mode Parameter to specify Instance number of the Search term in XLOOKUP
Make The [Search mode] parameter to accept values as below
1,2,3 etc to mean 1st instance, 2nd instance etc from the top
-1,-2,-3 to mean 1st instance , 2nd instance etc from bottomThe search algorithm is already specified in the [Match Mode] parameter so there is no need to duplicate it again in [Search mode]

Function and formulas recommended
Mohammed A Elrify
Mohammed A Elrify Occasional Contributor4m ago
Suggested to Microsoft EXCEL
By creating the advantage of the proposed Function and formulas recommended
Such as recommended pivot tables and recommended chartsFor example, the work of options for the user
For example if he wanted to compile on terms, he would have the formula SUMIFS ready and only a choice
Also like the search that VLOOKUP uses
And so on
I hope the Microsoft community will support and encourage this idea76 votes -
XLOOKUP AND $
When selecting the data ranges that have the information you want, enter the $ on the range: XLOOKUP(A5,$D$1:$D$80,$G$1:$G$80)
I'm working 30 years with spreadsheets and I've probably use VLOOKUP without the $ 5 times. People with less skills forget to include the $ and the formulas don't work properly and they have to call me for help.3 votes
