Wrapping up 2022, we on the Excel team are incredibly grateful to you for the opportunity to delight you with continued improvements and innovations in Excel.

 

Throughout the year, we’ve followed up on your feedback with autocomplete for dropdown lists, automatic data conversion settings, new paste option using Crtl+Shift+V, and more.

 

We’ve also doubled down on the core fundamentals, collaboration, and ease of use, delivering new capabilities like check performance, new text and array functions, new DAX functions in data models and Power Pivot, Excel Live, formula suggestions and formula by example – not to mention continued improvements to Power Query, assigning tasks with @mention, data from picture, natural language query, and Office Scripts.

 

Watch the video below for more on what’s new in Excel.

 

 

In addition to continuing to deliver on core values, Excel made its esports debut on ESPN8: The Ocho in August this year, followed by the Microsoft Excel World Championship and Excel Collegiate Challenge in October through December. Jacob Stern at The Atlantic asks, “How can watching people fiddle with spreadsheets possibly be this fun?” Read his article “The World Cup of Microsoft Excel” to learn more.

 

Thank you for your continued support and feedback that help us continue to improve and innovate. Please keep sending us smiles or frowns and submitting or voting for your favorite ideas on Microsoft Feedback.

  • 2022 was a great year for Microsoft Excel and users! I'm eager to see what 2023 will bring to us. Good job Microsoft Excel Team!

  • I agree that it was a great year for Excel.  Thank you for all of the small, yet very useful, features like Ctrl+Shift+V and dropdown autocomplete.  The larger features are much appreciated too.  And it was a lot of fun seeing Excel become an eSport!

     

    Thanks Excel Team! 🙌

    Thank you Excel team. It was indeed an awesome year with all the new features. Now we don't have to worry if Excel can keep up with all the newcomers. 😎

    The Best feature for me was the recent update in the Advanced Formula Environment - which now allows you to author formulas in the grid - Its amazing and if evaluation of the formulas gets integrated we can permanently turn off the Formula bar.
