    Hi Leila, I discovered your site accidentally and love it, including your style of educating as it is helping me get better at using Excel. I have seen in your videos and others that the use of merged columns is discouraged and wanted to know how to handle this when I need to group a series of rows that collectively form a unit of transaction. e.g., if I am tracking expenses across multiple events across multiple sites, I am using a sheet where individual expenses are grouped under a single event id, which along with other event-level details are shown as a merged row (e.g., event id, event location, total expenses etc).

    The Office apps have long suffered from two issues: 1) discoverability and 2) menu hell. The search will certainly help IF you know what you’re looking for but discovering new capabilities in the awesome products is still a challenge. I don’t know what the solution is but it’s something that should be addressed. Normal users may use 5-10% of a product’s features. As pros, we probably use 20-30%.

    I agree. Microsoft is aware of this issue and they're trying hard experiment with different methods. It's not easy to find a solution that is helpful and not annoying (or in the way) of getting your work done. For example, popups inside the app can be seen as helpful for some, but annoying for others.

    Normal users can barely open the file with all the security warnings and popups. Even worst is I use to chare a command bar with 90% of the features i use with in a month. Microsoft a few years ago made the importing of the bar non-functional, even if I save my current one it reset to default on import. The Search function is a game changer if you know what you are searching for. The Navigation panel hasn't made it through the cooperate filters yet. But i would love for them to fix the mountain of bugs than add new features. Overly inflating file sizes, constant unrecoverable crashes, cells getting stuck with the updating % overlay. Adding new feature to a plague program is like giving cough medicine to some one with lung cancer. FIX the F'ing Program! I've been dealing with rampant file sizes issue for over 20 years now. Guess what, Pandas don't like xlsb file types....

    The fact that there is a "Commands not in the ribbon" section when you customize the Quick Access Toolbar is prime example of this. Most of them are garbage, but there are some that are super useful, in PowerPoint for example there are a Pick Up Style and Apply Style commands that are WAY more powerful than the Format Painter shortcut, if anything because they store the style and you can later apply it without having to worry about mis-clicking.

My concern is the stability of Excel on larger files. It just seems like the more MS adds the more often my files crash. If we can search the Navigation bar, and we’ve had the ability to make our own toolbar for a while, let’s get rid of the bulk of the Navigation bar. Why have 3 different ways of doing the same command? MS needs to put Excel on a diet if they’re adding new features.
