How can we improve Excel for Mac?

← Excel for Mac

Allow users to set the default format to use for cut and paste

Currently if I paste data into Excel from the internet or another workbook, the default is to use the source format. If I set the preferences to display format options, I can then select an option to display the data in the destination format. I have to do this every time, but I ALWAYS want to display the data in the destination format - so I need to be able to reset the default to use destination format, but I cannot change this. You need to make the default format user-defined.

    This would be a life changer for people who often need to move data around between spreadsheets and workbooks. Please make this happen.

    It would definitely save time. I have to copy-paste between worksheets for a project I'm working on, and I want to always paste as plain text while I'm working on this project (several hours/days at a time). Then I want to be able to change it back to something else.

    Yes, ability to select default paste format (i.e. plain text) would save me so much time.
