MS Lists vs Airtable
Hi, I could not find any discussion on Lists missing features or feature requests so far, so I thought I'd create one. I am an avid Airtable Pro user and privately I use it for everything from my ToDos, to my personal finances and real estate management. So naturally I have been missing this functionality in our Microsoft dominated company. After playing with MS Lists for a while, I can say I'm at the same time impressed and dissapointed. This tool could really be Microsoft's answer to Airtable and with a good cross tool integration it could even make me drop Airtable all together, but to do so, there is a lot of features still needed. Here are a few for starters: 1. Group by "Title" and make title a field that can have all field types. 2. Multi-Group: Sometimes I want to group something by multiple columns, e.g. group a customer contact list first by company and then by city. 3. Two way Excel integration. I use a lot of reports where online data is loaded into Excel, so a connected list that automatically updates with Excel would be great (I know it's there from Lists to Excel, but the other way round is more important IMO) 4. Create options on the fly. If I have a selection field I wanna have the option to type in the field and just add that as a new option. 5. Great in line editing. Please MS try to import some of the same lists in Airtable and edit them there vs. in Lists and you'll know what I mean. 6. Cross List linking. Seeing lists as databases is the great UVP of Airtable that currently no other software has. Lists is basically the same thing, but it does not yet make use of this thoughts. Kind regards, Michael
