Whenever I try to open Excel, it always asks for my Office 365 school or work password no matter how many times I have entered it before. I contacted Microsoft support, but they transferred me twice, and then said technical support would cost $149. I contacted my university support, and they said to re-download Office, so I'm trying that now.
Microsoft Excel supports checkboxes differently from iWork Numbers. In Excel, go to Excel menu – Preferences – View – In Ribbon, Show – Developer tab. Then, go to Developer – Check Box. But the check boxes overlay on top of the spreadsheet –– they do not go in line with the cells. On the other hand, in Numbers, go to Format – Cell – Data Format – Checkbox. The format of the cell changes to an inline checkbox which formulae can refer to via the address of the cell. When exporting a spreadsheet from Numbers format to Excel format, the checkboxes turn into boolean text –– either TRUE or FALSE.
Numbers does not support finding and removing duplicate values like Excel does.

Yeah. Are you talking for OS or Windows? I am not a fan of any new Word versions since maybe 2003, too, minus 2011 for Mac. And then they screwed that up too.
Windows. I will post more complaints as I see them :D
There are way too many "features" that can unintentionally leave users with a completely unusable experience. For instance, the trust center can disable essential functions like saving just by ticking a few boxes, and these changes can be tricky to find later. Plus, there’s no straightforward way to revert everything back to the default settings, which means you’ll end having to sift through options, guess, and search online to figure out why things suddenly stopped working.
Antiquated, lacking features and usability in terms of ease-of-use in modern workflows... can't even have a dark mode without resorting to a bizarre macro... if you worked on Excel as a Microsoft Dev, I hate you and wish you would die in a fire.
Too many "features" that makes it possible for the user to accidentally render the whole thing unusable, e.g. trust center can disable basic functions such as saving by checking checkboxes, and are sneaky enough to evade search once set. Also, there is no simple "back to defaults" shortcut that undoes such disbilitating damages. You'll have to dig and guess and google for why it suddenly breaks.
As Windows forces new updates onto you everyday, probability that you wake up one day to find your old documents unusable approaches one.
Since it has become Microsoft policy to plan for its "outdated" (but working) software products to expire and replaced by "up-to-date" (but prone to failure) replacements, one day we'll have Excel too complicated to perform simple functions that many use VScode plugins instead.
worst ever and they stopped support to office for mac 2016 already & want to force you to buy their yearly subscription!! This whole subscription business is getting on my nerves, having to pay it yearly.
Two contradicting that makes no sense to me:
To be fair, I still prefer its UI (ribbon and stuff) compare to LibreOffice, may it be habit or what not.
