Just a quick poll - I vote for #1, especially with migrations.

 

[Barrie Davidson]

I'm with you on #1.

I see you're using XP, Microsoft has taken a stab at #2 in Excel 2003:

Well, I seem to get a lot of operator errors ...

The AVERAGE() function should be extended to have an optional second argument, AVERAGE( numbers, [weights]) . Then you could do weighted averages AND it would be backward-compatible.


AND and OR should be fixed so they work in array formulas.

Maybe some more animated office assistant characters. I'm thinking Eli the Excel Eel. This lovable creature slithers onto the screen and makes cute puzzled expressions whenever an error message appears.

Of course, improve stability.

Rather than one specific improvement, massive, all encompassing improvements of every ilk would arise from simply publishing the developers' phones and addresses. (Or the re-formation of Borland.)

How about more features in Pivot Table

 

[Phil11]

u shud be abl to chose how many rows and colums you wnat, the total can still be 65536 * 256, but you c an allocate it into 768248 * 32 instead if you want.
