Thank you for taking the time to share your request for adding conditional formatting in charts!
While we think this suggestion has merit, we don’t expect to devote time to it in the near future. We will continue tracking votes and comments and will keep this suggestion under consideration for future development.
Thank you again, and please keep sharing your thoughts!

Folks, there's nothing happening in Excel Chart development. It appears that Power BI visuals will be the new charts in Excel.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I’ve seen some related requests, I’ll look at merging them to make sure the votes properly reflect the ask. We’ll prioritize this into the execution pipe appropriately based on the number of votes.
Cheers,

VBA is too ancient to waste any development time on improving it. At one time, I was sure that it would be upgraded to VSTA (with an appropriate PIA to speak to Excel), but that has never happened. With cloud computing coming into the picture, we need a replacement language that can work on all platforms, and that language might be JavaScript.

"Yes, we’re considering providing R integration with Excel in the future"
You're actually considering this? We can't even get the R.Execute function in Power Query, although it's just a matter of enabling the function.

Thank you for taking your time to suggest and vote for allowing interaction with Excel while in Power Query Editor window. We do think that this suggestion has merit but we don’t think that we’ll be able to devote time to it in the near future. We’ll continue tracking votes for it.

Makes no sense at all. After all, with Power Pivot, you can easily switch between Excel and the Power Pivot window. You can't even use another workbook while in the Power Query editor.

R Script is an important feature and we realize that. However, we don’t think we’ll be able to support this in the near future. We’ll continue tracking votes for it.

"The reason we’ve resisted this is because the R runtime & various packages (and updating their versions) aren’t straightforward for other users to install. This limits sharing such queries across a workgroup."
Since so many Microsoft apps support Open R, R should be installed and managed in one location on every desktop. The installation can be done by Windows, Office 365, Power BI, SQL Server, whatever. When an app is run, it checks for the install and version, and install/update as necessary (including packages). For the Microsoft apps that support R, other instances of R installed elsewhere should be ignored.

Hi Ash,
Perhaps R Open and associated packages should be installed with Office 365. Updates can be part of Office 365 updates. Then you can add the R.Execute function to M in Excel, which would allow folks to build cross-platform solutions using M & R.

Thank you for taking your time to suggest and vote for being able to protect Power Query with a password. This is a good idea, but we don’t think we’ll be able to support this in the near future. We’ll continue tracking votes for it.

Thanks for the suggestion! We’re fans of Regex and its ability to parse text too.
If you’d like to see Regex support in Excel, please keep the votes rolling in.

Thanks for supporting this feature. We won’t be able to in the near future, but we understand that it would be a nice improvement. Even though it seems like a straightforward idea, it is quite complex since named ranges can be dynamic, meaning that the range is calculated when the workbook is calculated.
We’ll continue tracking votes for this suggestion.

Get the Office 365 version that supports all of this stuff. As a bonus, you get access to new features you can't live without.

It's bad enough to have two axes with different scales on the same chart. You cannot compare anything. Terrible idea!!!

The proposed modification to the UNIQUE function and the addition of DISTINCT and TOPN are natural feedback suggestions with respect to the new and unreleased Dynamic Array functionality.
