In this answer to "Bring back custom keyboard shortcuts" https://excel.uservoice.com/forums/304933-excel-for-mac?query=Bring%20back%20custom%20keyboard%20shortcuts the MS team states I can find the customization option under Tools > Customize Keyboard and links to this article to show how: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/create-a-custom-keyboard-shortcut-for-office-for-mac-6bbeb90e-96d9-4e03-b199-fc026ebdc321?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

This is NOT the case. There is no option for Customize Keyboard in the Tools menu in Excel 2016 for MAC. You guys blew it when you removed the ability of a user to create a custom key combo to complete a command.

For example I always used the F1 key to delete cells and rows, which I do a lot. I used Option+click to add rows. Now I have to hunt all over for the tool. When I added these commands to the Qick Access bar at the top via Ribbon customization, the icons are so greyed out that I can't even see them. See attached screens.

I intend to get a refund and use an older version of Excel. The limitations in 2016 make my workload way more tedious.

Don't even get me started on the animated "gliding cells". How stupid. I'm not making a video. I'm doing bookkeeping and invoicing. I don't want my sheets animated.

When Handoff is enabled (which also enables Universal Clipboard) and you are signed in to iCloud on your Mac and a nearby iPhone or iPad, Excel will freeze when you try to copy any cell. The spinning beachball will appear for 3-4 seconds and you can't do anything while this is happening. The bug also affects Word. This happens even on a Clean Installed system so it is not a 3rd party conflict.

I've posted more details and a video of this happening on the Microsoft Community Forums:

I've tried to report this bug but it seems impossible to get a ticket open that goes to the developers, so I am posting here hoping that others will vote for this issue so it can be fixed.

When I visited the Microsoft website trying to decide whether to update from an 11 year old application suite (Office 2008 for Mac), learn to use Apple's own suite of applications for the Mac (Numbers and Pages—I'm already competent in Keynote and have abandoned PowerPoint), I read things that intimate that Mac users are "getting some things first"; e.g., in Office 2019. It's not clear what we're getting other than a new moniker.
It's certainly clear in my first day or two of my 30 day trial that much has changed, but when I try to delve a bit deeper into a feature-rich application by doing a few online training sessions (I've started with a few of the tutorials from Lynda.com, endorsed by LinkedIn by requiring a LinkedIn account as a requirement for access to the tutorials), it takes but a few minutes to discover obvious disparities. Here are just two, discovered while barely scratching the surface:
1. The embedded Help for Windows Excel 365 is a fully realized multi-layer system that works. On the Mac, however, when I hover my cursor over an icon in the ribbon that already has a text label, what pops up? nothing more than the same text label (thanks so much for that help!).

2. I have found a few instances where that's not the case, but it's clear little effort has been expended on them. For example, the "Take a Tour" template that's accessible from the "New from Template…" menubar item, when demonstrating the "slices" table data analysis feature, does contain a few tooltip hover-over popups that list keystroke equivalents, but it takes very little time that those tooltips list WINDOWS keystroke shortcuts (now, just where is that "alt" key on the Mac keyboard)?
