- Sheet Views in Excel: This lets you set up your own view of an Excel spreadsheet without changing how others see it. This feature is useful when multiple people are working on the same spreadsheet.
- XLOOKUP Function: This new function in Excel helps you find things in a table or range by row. It makes it easier to search for and retrieve information.
Other important features include:
- Dynamic Arrays: This adds new formulas like FILTER, SORT, and UNIQUE, which help you manage large sets of data more efficiently.
- Dark Mode in Word: This mode provides a darker background in your documents. It makes reading and editing less stressful on your eyes.
- Save as SVG: This feature allows you to save images and graphics in SVG format. Your images can be resized without losing quality.
