Thanks for all the support and comments about this request. We don’t have plans to add this format in the near future, but we’ll keep monitoring the votes as we prioritize this suggestion among other requests.
There are a few ways that you can enable this already, as mentioned in some of the comments.
1. Set the style used when you click the comma button.
– This can be done by modifying the cell style called “Comma”, which is used when you click the comma button. See the screen shot in the comments for details, or look at this article to modify the style – https://support.microsoft.com/office/apply-create-or-remove-a-cell-style-472213bf-66bd-40c8-815c-594f0f90cd22.
– For existing workbooks, you’d need to set the style in each workbook.
– To make it the default in new workbooks, you can create a new workbook, make the change to the “Comma” style, and then save the workbook as a template…An error occurred while saving the comment David Benaim commented
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

Thanks for the idea! We think formatting cells as a checkbox is an interesting suggestion, but we won’t be able to address it in the near future. We’ll continue tracking votes for it.

Hi all – thanks for your support for this suggestion.
Improving data validation drop down lists by adding autocomplete is a great idea, as well as supporting structured table references in the data validation Source range.

Thanks to everyone for the votes and discussion about having undo independently in each workbook. Even though this request has been here for a long time, we are listening and we realize that it can be frustrating if you press Undo while you’re in one workbook and it undoes something in another workbook. We’ve been considering the technical challenges to make Undo work “per workbook”, and want to share some details about it with you.
The undo process relies on the state of all open workbooks being exactly the same after an “undo” as they were before the undone action was taken. One example of how undo “per workbook” is problematic is with linked workbooks. Let’s say you have WorkbookA, with a formula that refers to WorkbookB, such as =SUMIFS. This formula will give the sum of values in WorkbookB in range A1:A10 that have “Yes” in the…

Thanks for your support of this suggestion and all the great ideas in the comments. We have at least one improvement planned (resizing the dialogs – see link in the description), and we’re looking at some additional improvements.
If you have specific ideas that aren’t already listed, please add them in a comment.

Thank you for taking your time to suggest and vote for this. 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 so we know how it ranks among the other suggestions.

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,

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!
