History
[edit]The history section is extremely weak and limited. Compare, for example, the history of MS-Word (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Word). I don't know enough to create that, but could some who does please do it? Kmasters0 (talk) 05:59, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Excel 17
[edit]The arcticle for Microsoft Office 2019 says "Office 2019 retains the same major version number of 16, making it the second perpetual release of Office 16." I think that Excel 2019 is not Excel 17. So the table with the versions here is maybe not right. 2A00:6020:4903:3100:286C:4264:8BEF:867E (talk) 21:32, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
End of Maintaining of Excel 2016 and 2019
[edit]Excel 2016 and 2019 for Windows are still in Extendend Support until Oct 14, 2025. The table in the summary section in the article is not right: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/excel-2016 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/excel-2019 It is right, that the support for Excel for Mac (2016 and 2019) has ended: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/excel-2016-for-mac https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/excel-2019-for-mac 2A00:6020:4903:3100:525:93B8:D7A7:99BA (talk) 16:39, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
Semi-Protected edit request on 16 March 2025 about Conversion Problems
[edit]![]() | It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Microsoft Excel. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |
The last sentence of the paragraph "Conversion Problems" currently reads as follows, and I want to propose following modification to it:
− | In October 2023, Microsoft | + | In October 2023, Microsoft introduced new settings to Excel, making it easier to avoid this issue. Users can now configure which automatic data conversions should be applied. |
Reasoning is:
1. IMO there was no issue to fix, at least in the classical sense. Microsoft most probably intended Excel to behave like that. In an article introducing the new settings, Microsoft did not acknowledge that they have fixed some issue, read https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoft365insiderblog/control-data-conversions-in-excel-for-windows-and-mac/4215336.
2. This "fix" is not applied automatically. Excel's default behavior still shows this "issue". Users have to configure their instance of Excel to behave as they prefer. Users who just read that this short sentence might leave Wikipedia thinking that this unintended automatic conversion of inserted data is not worth to be aware of.
