I have to use excel in conjunction with some other software consequently I am always hitting the save button on excel. With my other software it saves all of my work automatically roughly every 5 seconds. I really love this feature. Does excel for mac 2016 have this feature it would really help out if it did.
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.

You can look in the Excel Options by clicking File / Options / Save and see if the AutoRecover box is checked. Also the Mac operating system could have an autosave feature, but not having ever used a Mac, I am just guessing at that.
