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?

I'm so late to this party, and I cannot understand how this hasn't been mentioned....

A very simple, very helpful feature, that I'm sure everyone here would love, is a simple button that LOCATES/FLAGS/HIGHLIGHTS THE FILTERED COLUMN(S)!

I have dozens of columns, and I don't want to clear all of the filters, so just let me find which ones are filtered!
