How to draw borders in Excel 365?

Copper Contributor

ello All,

In previous versions of Excel, there's a "Draw Border" tool when you move your cursor over the Border icon on the Ribbon. Your cursor would become a pencil so could freely draw a border. See link https://exceljet.net/lessons/how-to-draw-borders-and-border-grids-in-excel for demo of it.

But I'm using the Excel 365 and unable to find this functionality?  If was removed or relocated elsewhere, also I checked in the Help menu and didn't see it.

Please could you help or suggest a way - I use the "Draw Border" tool to draw cash flow diagrams. As an example see this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=775ljhriB8U&feature=youtu.be

 

Look forward to hearing from the community soon.

Thanks
Hillman

For the desktop version of Excel 365 it's at the same place (see screenshot, that's 365), or you mean Excel Online ?

Yes, you're right I'm using Excel online (not the desktop version). Don't see the "Draw Borders" tool in the drop down. See screenshot below.

@NikolinoDE Thanks Nikolino for responding.  I'm using Excel online but seems that functionality is not available.

Excel Online has limited functionality compare to desktop version, unfortunately it has no such option.
