True Dark Mode
Actually make the dark mode for Excel change the working document's background colour black/dark without needing to format.

Yes we need this. Especially now that is available for Word.

Come on Microsoft, how hard can it be to add a true dark mode to Excel cells and for that matter the rest of windows that still isn't in dark mode...

Several years ago there was an option that allowed a user to change excel to dark mode, including the cells. The font was usually white or a neon blue, yellow or green but it was so much easier to work with that white all day long. Now, all of the dark mode options have improved, but not in Excel? Bring it back! I want it to look like Outlook (thank you for finally making that happen) but I agree, it should be color inversion across documents and probably the most important in Excel.

Please implement this sooner than later. It's been added to Word where the page is dark; we need the same for Excel documents so the cells aren't blinding white.

I created a "DarkMode" style. Obviously, you can't print it out but at least you can look at it.

And the white in the centre part makes it look even brighter.

@Siddharth Reuben - dark mode in Excel doesn't default the background table dark, so your main working area is still bright white.

Currently Excel in Mac turns only the tool ribbons dark when dark mode is on. This could be made better by making the sheets too in dark.

Ideally it should be like Outlook with that light/dark button for the email content.

I think the best way is the same button as in Outlook, right? So easy to use and already implemented in Outlook with great user response...
Actually i want this button :-). -

Reposting this comment from another similar suggestions: I like this idea in principle, but please don't make it so that dark mode REQUIRES a black workbook. I like my workbook to stay white, but love dark mode. Please don't make me switch back to grey or colorful just to keep my working space white.

Interestingly, this idea was originally suggested over 2.5 years ago and still hasn't been implemented. Excel developers, please consider implementing this feature to save user's eyes! The suggested workarounds mentioned in the original idea are not enough.

I'd say make it the same as how you currently do it for Outlook messages.

Please add in a color inversion to make things dark, the searing white background! I cant't take it any more, its not pink eye! It the monitors and q-led's and all this new display tech that is making screens with more energy output than the Death Star! Less white!!!!!!!!

At least Win10 has fullscreen filter mode. It defaults to "somewhat yellow", but can be made quite orange. Night Mode.

Example below of what cells should look like in dark mode.
