Excel had tons of new and useful features over the past years.

…and they are?

I don’t doubt there’s been plenty of new features. But are they significant enough that users on older versions or non-MS suites are left longing for the latest version of Excel?

I just don’t think there is much innovation left. Or at least not without changing the UX and/or paradigm significantly. Neither of which have happened.

Take a look here: https://www.icaew.com/technical/technology/excel-community/e.... There’s really been a sea change since around 2019. In the aggregate, they change how you work with Excel today.

Thanks for the share. These do look like really nice improvements.

Albeit I wouldn’t say they’re significant enough that LibreOffice would struggle to keep up.

But it is nice to see that Excel is still working on basic quality of life features.
