    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.

    Yes! If Excel can determine that there is a problem, it shouldn't be that hard to tell us where.

    Agreed. I do a lot of migrations to SharePoint and run into this all the time. SharePoint now supports 400 characters in the path, but Excel internally doesn't, nor does a SharePoint URL column. This is super frustrating, especially with the overhead of a cloud storage URL, which is a lot longer than the three characters for a drive letter like S:\

    Thank you for taking the time to share your request for linking min/max values of a chart axis to the cell value! We think this suggestion has merit; however, we don’t expect to devote time to it in the near future. We will continue tracking votes and comments here, and will keep this suggestion under consideration for future development.

    Thank you again, and please keep sharing your thoughts!

    Is anyone at Microsoft still looking at this? Scott Ruble's reply is three years old, but nothing has happened.

    And please use the regional settings of the machine that is refreshing the query. So for Germany it would be "Dez" instead of "Dec"

    We’ve just merged two items that were both requests for the Median function in PivotTables. One had been for Windows, the other for Mac. When we get to this, we should actually make the addition on all platforms including Windows, Mac, Web, and others.

    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.

    Great suggestion, thanks David! And thanks to other people who took the time to clarify/comment on this one. There’s definitely room to tighten this experience up in a number of places. We’re getting a lot of traffic on the site, so please keep voting for the things you care about most to help us do a great job of prioritizing.
