Literally everything. I type papers on the Microsoft Word app, make Power Points on Microsoft’s PowerPoint app, take notes, do online assignments, play games, listen to music, watch school related videos WHILE taking notes, etc etc. I do know that some features are left out on Microsoft apps since I’m using an Apple product and they DO NOT go unnoticed. Such features I have been able to go without and many people probably don’t use them often. When it comes to Microsoft’s Excel app, too many features are left out and the app is almost rendered useless for engineering work. I need to be able to manipulate line graphs, scatter plots, and data and this app doesn’t allow me to do so.

If I have 2 columns of data, I need to plot one versus the other, and this app doesn’t allow me to do so. Then once I do that, I need to be able to see all the data that comes with the graph that is generated, like the r^2 value and setting tolerances for trend lines etc. Maybe it was a far fetched idea in the first place to think I could use an iPad for all my college engineering work, but its frustrating when I can do literally everything else on my iPad faster, easier, and more convenient than with a laptop, EXCEPT for Microsoft Excel. Literally the only drawback I have with my iPad. I get Office 365 through college so I’m still paying Microsoft for ALL of its features, but not getting them.

Don’t buy Bought the subscription to Office 365 because I wanted to use Microsoft Excel. First 2 projects I worked on went fine. My 3rd project was a huge one (a $800 fee for me). I worked on it for 6 hours when suddenly my work vanished.

Disappeared right in front my eyes! I tried everything, but I could not get the document back. Came to the realization that while the “auto-save” feature was “on”, the app was not saving any of the work!! The Microsoft cloud had nothing!

Made a quick research and found that this type of complaint has been posted by others going back to 2014!!! IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED??!! Clients have had the same 2 bad experiences (failure by the auto-save and the document disappearing) AND MICROSOFT HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. So, despite buying the iPad Pro intending to use Excel, I now will have to buy a Window base laptop. ABelieber, You will lose your work!!!

Batgirl0520, Love Excel, despise recent changes At one time I would have given 5 stars as Excel is one of my favorite programs. But some recent changes have made this app almost unusable for me. I'd rather turn on my computer and wait to use that Excel instead of the app.

If I try to scroll up and down with the key pad open, it usually closes the keypad on me. Opening it again every time is a pain. When I enter a number in a column and hit return, the keypad automatically reverts back to the text keys instead of the numbers. If you are entering numbers in a column, chances are you will want to keep entering numbers.

Having it go back to text every time is obnoxious and totally a waste of time! If I select a cell with my finger, it is basically impossible to then select an adjacent cell. I need to tap one away from the one I actually need first and then go back. Developer Response, Hi You can quickly go to editing a cell by double tapping it or by tapping edit in the context menu. If you want to add a lot of numbers please use the special excel number keyboard (tap the keyboard icon beside the formula bar) that will preserve the keyboard even after pressing enter.

We also have special keys like Tab that help you navigate faster when entering data.

There are some software that i use everyday, are highly complex, and to mind work almost perfectly. These are: chrome browser, pycharm, mac os. I have had very few problems with these apps. Pycharm, for example, i would say, crashes about once every two months and it is simply an enormously powerful app.

The same cannot be said for excel for mac 2016. I've been using that app since as far back as i can remember and it has always been enormously bug prone. Excel for mac 2011 would crash roughly once a day, if not more than that.

I was hoping that by upgrading to the 2016 version that they would finally bring it to perfection just like chrome browser or pycharm, but alas they have not! They have gotten rid of some bugs but only introduced others! It still crashes once a day if not more. The software in some areas is only a very minor improvement over excel for mac 2011, but given the fact that they've introduced bugs elsewhere, it is even tempting to say that the current excel for mac is even worse than the 2011 version! Am i the only one who is making this observation or have others noticed this as well? A vm is a virtual machine. It allows you to run an operating system within your normal operating system (like an alplication) so you can toggle to that window and you wouldn't know you weren't using that operating system.

You set up a virtual machine with ram, processor, hdd then install an operating system onto that virtual machine. So Yes, you can have both MacOS and windows running at the same time. Depending on which vm software you use, you can configure applications to behave as though they're native to the host os, so in this case windows would be hidden and you'd launch windows excel like a normal Mac application (where it appears in the taskbar and can be minimized etc without actually showing windows). I use vmware, but there are others out there, parallels is very popular.

What about speed?
