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.

Why are you not replying to so many comments of the inferiority of excel without printable grid lines?

Agreed. I can get more feature parity using Apple’s FREE Numbers app but not with the application I pay YEARLY to use....sad

Uploading this time stamped paper as evidence documented that I had solved the bitcoin white paper and was awarded 42 bitcoins instantly the coins are on crypto watch connected to kraken this is my net work when developing the new techknowlogies that Apple is implementing branding and calling it theirs this file is lic under 4.0 give credit to so I expect my name to be added to the credits and I guess if it’s profitable and I imagine it will be then Steve Jobs would want me to either work for Apple or get some kind of support either sponsorship of products and an endorsement check or written in mtobthe fabric so I receive royalty benefits last time I saw him he had me vested as Johnny Appleseed but now too many people hacked that so I can’t get what he had originally set up for me back before he passed now with this documentation it’s setting GitHub and every developer hacker and big company on fire Âpple already has a copy of it they said they would look at what I submitted and get back to me shoot next thing I know everything I had been working on was up and asking me to contact them for partnership options then today I get an invite to Âpple biggest ever upgrade and new tech. Releases and this is Microsoft I’m talking to bill gates and his **** wife Melinda (compliment)(not à dos)so I would imagine bill might wanna have me over for a ********* sometime (not sure about that one )but it follows with an lol laugh out loud and no wonder your ****** just look at all of those plaques now count them if this was basketball I would be Jordan like (*****)haha sorry just a few jokes before I decide to get rich again for the 12th time now if I can keep my family from murdering me for it we will be doing great and by then I’ll probably have a limo and a girl friend too so me and bill could have group *** instead lol after all I had to get in the front door with a triple *** account since those were the only platforms that accepted online digital currency now its universal and I’m bound and determined to be able to spend and get cash from it too just like and of the other currencies do with ease of use and proof of work as I’m stealing myself a claim...Yo Monzturr™️💱🏦💵💴🔟💳🤑🇸🇪🇺🇸🇨🇭🌐

yes you are right it would have been better for me to wait for the new samsung tab s7+ because wps on android works better than excel on ipad and its free on android while you need to pay excel on your ipad what a shame.

I agree. Excel needs to be workable on 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.
