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.

Dear Excel team, this has been posted already and has 74 comments on it, but you closed it. The reason you are not seeing crash reports is because we have to kill the app and this doesn't seem to generate a crash report.

Issue is as described by 4 pages of comments, please reopen. If not then I have created this as a new issue.

If you attempt to double click in the cell or click in the function bar, then Excel freezes, by keeping the cursor in the cell and removing keyboard entry. Menu's stop working as well, the best you get is a momentary flicker of the menu bars when you try and click them. the only way to work is to then kill (force quit) the app and restart

I am running Excel version 16.13.1 (180523) on macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 on a MacBook Pro 2016, 2.9Ghz i5, 8GB ram, 130Gb free space on SSD.

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)?

In the recent update to excel 2019, the feature to format cells using find and replace has been removed. Please bring this function back!!! If you have a list of thousands of numbers and you need to search out a specific number then you could replace the cell format with a background color to highlight the cell. Basically you could highlight all cells that contained the number you were "finding." Now this isn't possible and I have to sort throug thousands of numbers using the find next and getting out of the function, then highlighting, then moving on to the next one......instead of doing it in one simple action! Please add this back pronto!
