    Hey! I had this issue too, then I realised that if you choose to show the toolbar below the ribbon and you get all the colours back!

  2. Number format thousand separator and no decimals

    OMG yes!!! I also have a Macro that I use daily and Im also an Excel trainer so; explain how it isn't available. This should be the default!!!! Plus number formats with k or M is also lacking, PowerBI does it automatically

    Absolutely agree, excels biggest flaw is that no one clicks in the important features. This new ribbon people would actually click on to try! I would colour scales and data bars, as standalone command (not in a submenu). No one ever clicks on the conditional format dialog, so they miss out on these!

    Thanks for the suggestion Levi! We’ll be taking a look at this along with some other asks around conditional formatting. It’s a big help to see the things with the most votes, particularly within areas like formatting. So please keep the votes coming for things you want us to do sooner!

    Thanks,

    Thanks to everyone who commented on this topic. This is certainly an idea that we’ll consider, but in the meantime, I wanted to mention that if you can’t see all the sheet tabs, you can right-click on the navigation arrows to bring up the “Activate” dialog, which gives a scrollable list of the sheets, so you can select the one you want and navigate to it. I know it’s not exactly what’s being suggested.

    As with other ideas, we’ll look to see how many people vote on this, so vote for it if this is an area you want to see improved.

    Thanks,
    Steve (MS Excel)

    Thanks for the feedback! We’re seeing a number of different posts about lookup functions – we’ll be taking a close look at this area and thinking it through. We’ll prioritize the asks according to votes along with other requests on the site. So I encourage people to keep voting if it’s something they really want to see the priority raised on.

    Best,

    But yes there are so few shortcuts its horrible!

    David Benaim commented  · 

    You can rename the columns with F2. Ctrl Space to select col, F2 to rename. You can also use F2 to rename query steps which is great (navigate with enter and arrows then F2 to rename query steps).
