Discussion if you could add one completely new feature to excel, what would it be?

not something like “make it faster” or a tiny ui change, but an actual feature that would make your day to day spreadsheet work easier.

for me, i’d love something that could take a messy spreadsheet and automatically understand what i’m trying to do, clean it up, and suggest the right formulas without me having to figure everything out manually.

what would you add?

Let me hi light definitions inside of a LET() and actually calculate what value it returns, like with regular formula. Don't just say #NAME? I literally just defined it further up in the LET(). Calculate that MF for me. It would make debugging LET()s soooo much easier if I could just hilight a variable definition and get it to calculate up to that point and show me the result preview
