Kindly make user panels as per the previous version, which was more friendly to use in mobile apps for data visualisation and using the data, the latest upgrade has moved the option inside three dots, kindly make it as per the previous version, which was visible on the screen itself

Can’t change Margins on iPad?! …Still? In 2026?!

Excel has been on the Ipad for well over a decade. I get it’s not meant as a full hearty laptop, but I still feel they should be doing their best to improve the costumer experience and usefulness of Excel and Word over fixing nuances like icons on the menu bar.

I have the 12.9 Pro because it’s my main computer, easier for me to carry, and with an external keyboard, it’s more expensive than a laptop. Limiting margins is one of the greatest frustrations because excel is column and row based application so the print limit of 1” on all four sides is ridiculous and incredibly frustrating.

There’s also freezing and curser issues iPad. I’ll make an error and often can’t place my curser in the exact spot to fix it so I have to retype that cell / formula. This curser issue happens in Word sometimes too.

The iPad is very popular, so I wish more effort could be given to smoothing out the business operations a little because it’s too much to have to try to go back and forth between devices. I switched to the iPad because I no longer deal in more complex spreadsheets, but I still want the basics…like a bigger printable workspace.

Sorry, I am just feeling frustrated by this today.

Evaluation

Convenient to use

Many features missing

I used to be able to use this product for free but now the free version is basically a viewer. Since I am paying a monthly fee I thought there would at least be more features available (like conditional formatting) but there is not. Update: It is so expensive I am looking elsewhere. Come one, people!!!

First Impressions l

Saved my file as needed, nailed it.

Isn’t working for me

There must be a glitch that prevents the keyboard from coming up because I can’t modify any of the tables that I use. I can’t do anything on the excel app because the keyboard doesn’t appear!

Can’t do without it

Excel is one of a suite of Software programs that as of the 2020s is a must have for many many people. There are alternatives and if not priced correctly, it will lose market share and eventually be exited
My only grumble would be the most recent iterations have removed choices and introduced automation of many manufacturers which are not necessarily a Bonus
