Slight bit of crosstalk there -
My post - the Excel App processes data files of data, including workbooks, and those have data presented in sheets, some of which can be worksheets.
Worksheets usually being structured as cells,
and others containing things such as graphs etc.
Not sure that I agree with
"The way it's done in 'Sheets' is exactly how we should be able to do it in Excel,"
but Excel should certainly be capable of doing that !
And - managing to take a table of data from winword - including images, and links, and paragraphs with linebreaks and tabs in them and put those table cells into Excel cells.
Re the =IMAGE() function, It would also be useful to be able to have a thumbnail of the main image shown together with the (user options specified) last n characters of the image location, and filename.
But then that's just a would be nice to have.
