    Why would you not have this feature available in a 64 bit version? Please make it available.

    Irritated that something as basic as this was removed. Basic but it makes a difference to the spreadsheet and ease for users. Certainly would like to have been in on that meeting when something like this was decided.

    Please add this feature to 64bit excel version! its really important, Use it for column input in multiple spread sheets and user forms via VBA coding

    I dont understand why this was left out. Please bring it back urgently and add it as an automatic update so I don't have to explain it to my partners...

    Need it on Mac and PC and without VBA... Is that even possible? Would be very helpful

    Add this feature back into excel. Make a standard feature, not something you have to request be added. This is a BASIC use and it's just unbelievable the feature has been removed...

    OK, downloaded the work around version and it seems to work in a workbook sheet. How do I get it to work with VBA in a form?

    I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO INSERT IT INTO A DATE COLUMN SO WHEN YOU CLICK IN IT, THE CALENDAR APPEARS. YOU CLICK ON THE DATE YOU WANT AND THEN THE DATE APPEARS IN TE CELL AND THE CALENDAR HIDES AGAIN.

    Hi Blake,
    Some of the users of my spreadsheets are located internationally and therefore have different date conventions that they are used to using. Not only would a date picker reduce miscommunications but would also cut down on typing time.
    Best,

    ADD THE DATA PICKER. Such a basic complement and not inside X64....

  • Chris Sunseri commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please put this functionality back in the software. It's one of the most basic items used daily by many people. The fact it's been dropped is unimaginable? Makes me wonder what else isn't going to work? This kind of action makes users wonder what MS is up to...
