    I'd like to see it added to the Merge & Center split button. :)

    The problem goes much deeper than just sorting. Even inserting rows is impossible on a Table with sheet protection turned on. Good idea!

    Good suggestion Frederic – thanks for taking the time to post it. We’ll take a look at the F4 loop and including other functionality like this as soon as we can. We’ll be spending more time on the things with more votes – so folks that really want to see this should keep voting it up.

    Best,

    Ditto to what Jan states. It's highly confusing with the different behaviors.

    If we could customize the icons, as Ken mentioned, it would pretty much solve this problem too. :)

    Charles Williams has something similar in FastExcel, titled AVLOOKUPNTH. This is similar to what I'm describing, but more like LOOKUPNTH.

    Once the filter drop-down is activated, hit the E key to put your cursor in the search bar. :)

    This is an interesting idea. We will definitely consider it while planning our next round of features. Please continue to vote on this feature idea.

    This is something done quite often. We have to write code to do this currently, which is quite popular. Having this functionality natively would be used quite a bit I imagine. Good idea Rajender!

    You can do this currently by defining a new Custom List. But yes, it would be nice. :)

    Thanks for the post Charles, and for the in person conversation at the latest MVP conference. We definitely understand the ask and will keep our eye on it – it looks like it’s moving up the vote charts pretty quickly. As always, keep upvoting the things you are about most.

    Hi Ken,

    Thanks for logging this one, and thanks to others for voting this up.. We’ve actually had this on our list to get to for some time and have been balancing doing this against other… The more the community helps us rank it higher, the better the signal on overall importance… so, for those that haven’t voted for this but want it, do vote!

    thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion Nick. We’ve got some related work we’re looking at soon, and we’ll be sure to carefully consider if we can get a fix in for this then. As always, more votes helps – so keep voting for the things you care about most.

    This will be tough in the current process. It's possible with things like Excel DNA already though.

    I'm all for having the object model be current with the current resources in the application.

    Great suggestion – thanks again for taking the time to put it on this site and for the thoughtful followup comments. This is pretty related to some other work we’ve got going and already has a fair number of votes, so we’ll work on getting plans in place now and hope to get started on this soon.
