    Can I bill You for the time I spent trying to find this amongst controlls and addins?
    Seriously! This is really bad! This funktion was very useful and I had to tell people to manually add dates from now on.. (no im not allowed to install 3d party addins)

    Seems like many people I know are starting to use google sheets. I'll take a closer look. Not surprising when such a basic and useful feature is missing in the 64 bit version of Excel that I'm using.

    It seems mister Blake does not work for MS any more and no one at MS seems to bother taking over his job. What a mess!

    Hi to everyone that has been following this sorry saga since 2018.... just to let you all know, I have given up and switched to Google Sheets, it has a working date picker !

    We need a date picker, such an essential feature, we have to add dates in excel manually on all our spreasheets.

    Please give a solutions to the thousands of users that use this Add-in.

    Hi Microsoft guys, You asked us users to give a reaction on your survey, pasted a non-working link and nevertheless many users reacted on that survey. They were trying to help you get a better product, spent their time for you and then after 2 years, you give not a single reaction anymore regarding this subject.

    That is not only arrogant but also extremely rude to your clients. We, your clients are paying your bills, if you have been forgotten it. Please, at least post a reaction on the status of the subject, or tell us why you'll not implement this feature.

    The feature should be very easy to implement... sadly that it is not there by now.

    Absolutely necessary to provide forward compatibility for users who are upgrading from 32 bit to 64 bit Office . Don't know why we are even having to ask for this
