We use Excel's JavaScript custom functions add-ins for various "sets" of custom functions that user may or may not have access to depending on their job role. Unfortunately, that means we have to have five different add-ins (one for each set of functions) that we enable/disable via AD membership. This is complicated to maintain, cumbersome to administer, and cluttered -- the add-ins also need a toolbar button, and of course there ends up having to be one for each add-in.   Instead, we'd much rather be able to have code that runs when the add-in loads that tailors the list of functions available to the current user based on that user's identity. Then we could have a simple add-in and not have to deal with cross add-in messaging, multiple toolbar buttons   To minimize the implementation effort to support, one approach would be to continue to have the functions defined by a JSON file as they are now, but add a hook of some kind during the loading process that the add-in can use to remove functions from the list.   TIA ...

When writing a taskpane app that is a companion to a custom function, it's useful to be able to consume the function parameters for a given cell. I'm able to retrieve a list of functions within a cell/range using the formulas property, but these are the literal strings as they show up in the UI and are thus not easily consumable.   One work-around is to parse each formula, find the function(s) of concern, and evaluate each function parameter. This can get quite expensive if they contain non-primitive values, and there's no direct API for evaluating formulas.   Another potential work-around is to store each function parameter somewhere when the custom function is called, but there can be multiple instances within a cell and there's no way of knowing which one is currently being called.   Ideally there'd be an API for getting a list of functions for a given Excel.Range, that'd provide the function name, and each evaluated parameter. For example:   Excel.run(async (context) => { const range = context.workbook.getSelectedRange(); range.load({ address: true, functions: { name: true, resolvedArgs: true } }); await context.sync(); for (let i = 0; i < range.functions.length; i++) { let fn = range.functions[i]; console.log(`${range.address} ${fn.name}`, fn.resolvedArgs); // e.g. if range.address is A1, and A1 = `My.CustomFunction(1, 'Two', CONCAT('TH', 'REE'), B1)`, and B1 = `4` // then `A1 My.CustomFunction, [1, 'Two', 'THREE', 4]` would be logged to the console } });   ...

Hi there, I own crmtogether.com and we develop an add-in for outlook that integrates with Sage CRM (and other systems in future we hope). We have built our own VSTO plugin but also have the new 365 support. We need to build and maintain our own plugin due to the limitations of the 365API. I think you should look at what we have done (EG https://vimeo.com/641696552) and think about what is needed for real world integrations. The latest events that allow yuo check if an attachment is available (thats one example...another is adding in a signature) do not inspire and I cannot see how we could use them. We need ways to update the UI....365 add-ins are practically hidden behind a menu and users have to be trained to find this. We need better events...like on send (i can show you what we do with the VSTO client)...or be allowed send via the api (and then save to a CRM for example). Happy to meet and talk to anyone that wants to. crmtogether.com is my busines site. Thanks Marc Reidy ... View more

Idea:   Provide the means to activate the add-in when an appointment gets deleted.

I have been looking at migrating an existing VBA add-in, however not being able to manipulate shape rotation is a significant issue. Excel has this functionality, however PowerPoint does not.   This is required from the following user story: As a graphics designer, I want X text displayed vertically to make efficient use of space with branding. As textboxes (textframes) are shapes, rotating text requires rotation of the shape.   There may be other requirements where shapes need specific orientations to convey meaning. ... View more

On a Windows environment utilizing OWA, when attempting to attach a cloud based attachment, the cloud attachment is not added to the "attachment bar". Instead, it is added as a hyperlink within the email body.   Further, when making a call to "Office.context.mailbox.item.getAttachmentsAsync", cloud attachments are not populated in the array returned, only attachments by copy; this also occurs when trying to listen to the attachmentChanged event. If the user adds a cloud attachment while our add-in is open, the event will not fire if the attachment is cloud based.   This worked prior to the change to use links for cloud attachments (so I really think this should be considered a bug...).   Feature request: Cloud attachments that are added to an email are returned when "Office.context.mailbox.item.getAttachmentsAsync" is called. Cloud attachments should trigger an "AttachmentChanged" event when they are added or removed. ... View more

As per https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-js/issues/2267#issuecomment-997681800, we suggest that excel should be able to reload an add-in with custom functions and shared runtime when a local (or remote) service providing the content for the add-in is restarted.  The reloading of the add-in under this circumstances should not require a restart of the entire Excel process.   ...
