Option to allow add-ins in restricted workbook (IRM)
The new Information Rights Management (IRM) is great to protect workbooks from being opened or edited by non authorized users.
Unfortunately it also deactivates all ad-ins. In principle this makes sense as add-ins can access and modify information within the workbook. However, current restrictions go a bit too far as even as an owner/author of the workbook with FULL CONTROL my add-ins are deactivated. Should I not have full rights to do anything with the workbook? In our company thousands of users across EMEA use a self developed add-in to calculate service costs. Now they cannot use IRM as it…108 votes -
Python integration
It would be nice if we could use Python for writing macros rather than VBA. (I realize that it's possible to automate Excel externally using Python and the COM interface, but this is slow.)

Add Office Scripts to the native Excel Application
I understand getting full blown VBA working on the web is extremely unlikely (impossible?).
So - make Office Scripts run on native Excel (and other Office apps). That way we get
1) One common development language across all Microsoft Office applications
2) Support for Javascript/Typescript in native Office.
45 votesThank you for sending Microsoft feedback. Your input is valuable to us and helps improve our products.
Office native platforms already supports JavaScript/TypeScript for the add-in (extensions) model. The built-in Office Scripts/automation is not yet supported.
We do intend to support Office Scripts across other platforms and hosts. However, the priority and schedules for such expansion in coverage is not yet finalized. We are right now focussed on delivering it for Online platform with Power Automation support. Please stay tuned for future announcements to learn about the coverage.
Thanks,

PLEASE.....Add TTS Turbo Macro to the Microsoft Office Add-in Store
Training the Street, Inc. (TTS) is a prominent Wall Street financial modeling company that trains the majority of Wall Street/finance firms in the United States. TTS has developed an Excel Add-in that thousands of professionals use to enhance their Excel modeling speed. But since Office 365 has started churning out rapid updates, the Add-in has become unreliable and TTS has stated they no longer are making the updates necessary to counter Microsoft's changes. https://trainingthestreet.com/macros/
Is there a way your Dev team could look at this simple Excel Add-in and find a way to add it to the Microsoft Office Add-in…

Allow for more categories in Money in Excel
The Categories spreadsheet only allows for the addition of 20 categories. My Quicken account, which I am trying to terminate, has over 70 categories in current use. This limits the usefulness of Money in Excel.

Excel VBA Web Browser Interaction Updates
A lot of web sites are ending their support for Internet Explorer. This makes Excel a little harder to use as a crawler for specific tasks that require interacting with the web page. Will there be an Excel integration with Microsoft Edge, Chrome, or Firefox? The IE objects are slowly becoming less useful within VBA.

Money in Excel should be available in Microsoft 365 business
It looks like Money in Excel is only available for Personal and Family Microsoft 365 accounts.
We have several Microsoft 365 Business accounts that we use for both personal and family business activities, but we cannot access this feature.
We end up paying more at least for some accounts, but we do it for simplicity of management.
Microsoft should make Money for Excel to business accounts as well - at least small business accounts.7 votes -
Support Web Add-in development using C# / Blazor
Modern Web add-in platform is based on an embedded web site, development of add-ins is currently supported using JavaScript.
Blazor is a Microsoft technology which allows to build web apps using C#. Blazor also supports JavaScript interop.
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/apps/aspnet/web-apps/blazorLeveraging C# ecosystem makes modern add-in development more accessible to back-end / back-office developers, where Office automation and add-in development is often used. Blazor would also provide a migration path for existing VSTO/COM add-ins.

Please display a dialog box when opening an XL?M with a bad customized ribbon, and populate it with meaningful error messages!

Bring back keystroke recording for macros
Macros used to let you record keystrokes. This feature made macros very easy to create and there are some things you can't do without recording keystrokes. Shift+End to select to the end of a row or column of data. Relative reference does not do this.

office scripts
Hi Team,
I would like to suggest making the scripting functionality available to the Microsoft 365 Family Subscription. I would love to be able to automate Excel tasks in a more modern built-in scripting environment. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
2 votesThank you for sending the feedback. Your input is valuable to us and helps improve our products.
Support for consumer accounts is under review. We’ll use this UserVoice link to update on the progress.
Let us know if you have any scenarios in mind for automation and that’ll definitely help us with making informed decision.
Thank you,

VBA doesn't save pictures
We now can save pictures from Excel. But we can't use VBA to do the same thing. VBA needs to have the same ability.
