Besides Office, Excel files can be created using numerous software tools. More often than not, batches of macro-enabled Excel files are processed with scripts for productivity purposes. However, VBA code signing cannot be part of an automated process, as it is a manual task that requires opening & saving the file in Excel.

This request is about creating a command line tool for signing Office files with a digital certificate, similar to MS SignTool.

In addition, the existing macro signing process in Office is not 100% compatible with Open XML specifications. I can clarify this statement in a private discussion with MS engineers due to its security implications

There is a limitation to the width and height of a Content Pane at 1000 x 1000px. This limit is imposed when resizing via mouse in Excel Desktop and the JavaScript API. This (via mouse) is not true in Excel Online (or in PowerPoint) where the size can be set and saved to any size via mouse.

It would make the Content Pane consistent and open up a huge number of innovation opportunities to remove the current 1000 x 1000px limitation in the JavaScript API and Desktop Content Panes in Excel.

The ability to position and resize the Content Pane via the JavaScript API and Command Add-in would offer powerful opportunities for new applications and extending Excel functionality.

VBA events are extremely powerful but currently they are seriously lacking! If the Excel team went through and exposed more events VBA would a lot easier to manage for complex applications.

Events to expose:
* Row and column insertion
* Table specific events:
** Table - Insert_Row
** Table - Insert_Column
** Table - Cell_Change
** Table - On Filter
** Table - On Filter button click
* Chart events!
** Chart - On Mouse Down
** Chart - On chart object select
** Chart - On chart resize
* Shape events
** On shape resize
** On shape click
* Comment events
** On Comment Edited
** On Comment Removed
** On Comment Created

And so on. Currently there are extremely few VBA events (a comprehensive list can be found here: https://gist.github.com/sancarn/68003988e83581f09dbbaa85be6611bd#file-original-use-case-md)

Adding more VBA events would greatly advance our productivity, as currently to emulate all the above events we have to poll Excel, which is simply ridiculius...

In the regression output, there is a value for "standard error" which is not a standard error at all, but is actually the "root mean squared error" which is more analogous to a standard deviation. Only parameters have standard errors, variables have standard deviations. The error term of a regression is, of course, a variable and not a parameter. This should be renamed "RMSE". It causes a great deal of confusion at the course I teach at Columbia Business School when I describe the difference between standard deviations and standard errors, and then see that excel has made the very mistake I tell my students not to make.

There have been a number of pleas for this before, but I want to add one more:
Worksheet_BeforeChange

I need to compare before and after values when a cell changes. found loads of work-arounds to do this, including having a duplicate copy of the whole workbook! But all suffer from various problems when tried. Clearly the fact that so many people have tried various work-arounds and posted them on the web indicates a need for this.

It can't be that difficult to expose events which must exist already, surely? We have far more events available in Access and Word than we do in Excel.

When create a custom control in contextualTab, callbacks are executed only first time then control is shown.
Because contextualTabs shows information about selected object (listObject, chart, etc), all controls MUST BE invalidate each time selected object changes in Excel.
Workaround its invalidate ALL CONTROLS from ALL CONTEXTUALTABS in Application_SheetSelectionChange() and Application_SheetActivate().
This is a LOT of code executions (each seleccion in Excel executes .InvalidateControl to all controls in all ContextualTabs).

But... if exists onShow="callback" triggered when ContextualTabs shows information it runs faster.

Or even better, when Excel shows a ContextualTab, all inner-custom controls must be automatically invalidate, then all of them will 'reload' information about selected object.

Thanks
