Full desktop class for Excel on iPad please
iPad Pro has become a very powerful piece of hardware. The recent iPadOS has also bring it closer to become a real laptop replacement. I'm one of Office 365 users and I'm using both my Windows desktop/laptop and my iPad Pro during travelling as it's easy to bring along with long battery lasting. I'm an Accountant, so most of my tasks involves with Excel, and Excel on iPad sucks, it lacks so many features and we cannot even open multi instances of Excel even on the newly released iPadOS. iPadOS now has desktop class Safari browser, it would be really nice and beneficial if Excel has a desktop class version for iPad.

Ditto. I just wonder if Microsoft is just basking in the glory of its ever rising share price instead of working on giving people what they need and need it Today.. Mobile devices is the “present” and “future” so give us the fully featured Office products on mobile devices. So it is time that Microsoft wakes up and wakes up now. It will be a shame if Microsoft will become another Nokia.

I gave up on them many years ago. Both the Ipad and Excel for ipados are rather junk, merely toys, not real productivity tools. The ipad will never replace my 16inch mackbook pro, and the Excel for ipad will never be a desktop tool. Not because it is impossible to achieve...simply because both Microsoft and Apple are playing games with the consumers’ money. Until Apple will release an ipad that runs macos (something similar to surface pro, running both desktop and ipados, or a new universal version of macos) nothing will happen. We should stop buying and/or using their products until they become more serious about what they sell. Every year ...just a small incremental change...pathetic really.

Needs to support the Magic Keyboard, poor feature set considering IPad Pro H/W has better performance than most Intel based laptops

I’d be curious to know if the Excel developers team is even paying attention to the votes and comments on this feedback forum. I understand these things take time, which is why I’ll be watching to see if Apples 2020 WWDC will feature some productivity updates with iOS 14. Even if it’s to create a paid Excel app for iPad with full desktop class features, I’d gladly pay for that.

We need for instance a easy way to navigate between all the sheets inside a workbook, a pop up window with the name of all the sheets, like the desktop version, now iPadOs support a mouse and a trackpad, is just a click to open this pop up window.

Agree - and things that are missing are not obscure items...e.g. you can't change the scale on an excel graph and you cannot change the line spacing in powerpoint when you make a list of bullet points. What's up with that!?!?

When we have paid for the full version we actually have right to demand the same ,or else cost should be decreased if they are willing to provide a limited version of excel

I absolutely agree with this! it would make it so much easier if I could just take along my iPad on work trips, rather than carrying both a laptop and iPad just to up some extra functionality.

It’s incredible how the entire office is so poor for the so capable IPad Pro.
It’s really much needed update for data validation and more than one spreadsheet open -

I totally agree with this comment! I also bought Office 365 a long time ago, and was disappointed on how small a subset of EXCEL's PC capabilities was transferred to iPadPro. No macros, apparently no pivot tables, no unlocking of ECXEL sheets, etc... They bring updates every month, but the REAL important improvements never seem to come.
