XLOOKUP is now available to all users of modern Excel across all endpoints. We deployed XLOOKUP to the last group of users (Semi-Annual channel) in July 2020.

XLOOKUP will not be available in Excel 2019 and Excel 2016. These are point in time versions of Excel that predate the release of XLOOKUP.

Good news! On Windows, you can now scroll right and left using a mouse with a scroll wheel by holding down CTRL+SHIFT. If you move the scroll wheel up, it will scroll your sheet to the left, and scroll down to go right. On Mac, you can just hold the SHIFT key to do the same thing.

To see all the suggestions we’ve completed, please see https://excel.uservoice.com/forums/304921-excel-for-windows-desktop-application/filters/top?status_id=1406092

We have addressed the topic of this suggestion by bringing back the legacy comments as notes and included the edit comment action as “edit note” in the right click menu. Also, this topic has multiple suggestions, so if for any remaining suggestions which are not covered by the update to reintroduce legacy comment editing, please open a new suggestion. Thank you.

Thank you all for your feedback regarding the new AutoSave functionality in Excel.

We’ve been working to better enable collaboration and AutoSave is a key component that. While it can take some getting used to, AutoSave helps users feel confident that their work is being saved. This is especially evident when working with other people, but it also helps when you’re working by yourself.

We understand that you may need to turn off AutoSave for some workflows, so we are excited to announce that it is now possible to turn off AutoSave for a particular file as well as to change whether AutoSave is or or not by default.

For instructions on how to do this please see here: https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/what-is-autosave-6d6bd723-ebfd-4e40-b5f6-ae6e8088f7a5#OfficeVersion=Windows

This functionality is currently available to O365 subscribers.

We hope you continue to leave feedback on Excel to help us improve.

Thanks,

Pallavi Hukerikar
Excel Program Manager

Thanks for the suggestions folks! We’ve added [if_not_found] as the 4th argument to XLOOKUP. The thinking is as follows:

It’s a reasonably common use case
The ISNA XLOOKUP approach cannot distinguish a “not found” from a #N/A returned from a valid match.
- Joe McDaid [Excel]

Thank you all who voted! And we hear you loud and clear and we have been working hard at improving Excel 2016 stability on-going with every monthly release with our January monthly channel release at historically low levels based on our internal measures.

Moving forward, please send us feedback from within Excel, which includes actionable crash information we monitor regularly. Once Excel reboots from a crash please goto File → Feedback → Send a Frown, provide information on what Excel specific action you were doing when the crash occurred and press the “Submit” button.

thanx,

Update – 2016-03-07

Hi All,

Just wanted to let you know that we’ve completed adding new =CONCAT and =TEXTJOIN functions to Excel 2016 (as part of Office 365 – builds 16.0.6528 and later) that should do what’s been requested here. You can read more about it on our blog:

https://blogs.office.com/2016/02/23/6-new-excel-functions-that-simplify-your-formula-editing-experience/

Cheers,
Dan [MS]

In Office 2016, we released 6 new built in chart types: Treemap, Sunburst, Histogram, Pareto, Box & Whisker, and Waterfall. Checkout the following link for the top new features in Excel 2016. https://docs.com/ExcelDemos/7981/excel-2016-top-features.

However, there are several other feature requests wrapped up in this post. Please enter those as separate items so that we can respond to them individually.

Thanks,
Scott [MSFT]

A little bit late updating the status on this suggestion, but we’re happy to say that Power Query now has Intellisense when using the Advanced Editor and the query formula bar. If you don’t see it already, just go to File > Options and Settings > Query Options > Power Query Editor, and enable M Intellisense.

Circling back on this most upvoted feature, we’re excited to let you know that we just launched it due to your feedback!

- With Multi-Credential Support, you and your family members can connect multiple accounts from the same institution into Money in Excel. We hope this will make Money in Excel more useful for those who manage their finances together.
- To help you keep track of different accounts from the same institution, we’re also introducing Account Nicknames. In the Accounts tab in the Money in Excel pane, you can now customize your accounts with nicknames (You can even use emojis!)
If you do not see this update in your version of Money in Excel, try downloading a new version of the template here: Money in Excel Template. And don’t worry, your financial account data will not be lost!

Hello all,

Just wanted to let you know that we’ve released MAXIFS and MINIFS to Excel as part of Office 365. If you’re a subscriber you should already have (or see soon) these functions in your arsenal.

Cheers,
Dan [MS]

Hi there,

Great news – we’re working on this! Actually, we’re working on MAXIFS and MINIFS – even better :-)

Cheers,

We’re happy to say that the UNIQUE function is available for O365 subscribers. Please see this article for more information – https://support.office.com/article/UNIQUE-function-c5ab87fd-30a3-4ce9-9d1a-40204fb85e1e

Over the last few years, we’ve improved our ability to detect and fix performance issues significantly, and as a result we’ve seen performance improvements for users as well.

We intend to continue working on performance, but we’re marking this suggestion as completed.

Hi Erik,

Boy, you’ve been having quite a saga here. Even though this site is for new requests, appreciate finding out about this. I’m reaching out to Brian to understand what’s happening so far.

thanks

Hi Srikanth,

As Yigal mentioned, PowePivot is now part of many Excel 2016 versions, as noted here: https://blogs.office.com/2015/09/18/new-ways-to-get-the-excel-business-analytics-features-you-need/

Hope you’re enjoying the new version of Excel!

Changes to AutoSave settings should not change on update. This issue was raised when the changes to AutoSave were made. This should no longer be a problem. If you experience further issues go to File > Feedback and send us more information.

Good news. While data validation still does not support structured references, the problem of references not adjusting if the table is on a different sheet has been fixed. With version 16.0.133 or greater, if you refer to a column on a different sheet than the cell with the data validation rule, it will behave the same as if the table is on the same sheet, expanding the reference if you add rows to the table, or reducing the reference if you delete rows from the table.

Here’s a post about it on the Excel Techcommunity site – https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/excel/dropdown-list-improvement-data-validation-lists-are-dynamic-for/m-p/1977541.

We’re marking this as Complete since the title refers to the exact issue that was fixed.
