MICROSOFT EXCEL MAC 2016

Microsoft Excel for Mac 2016 - the efficient calculation program for macOS

Excel 2016, the classic spreadsheet program for a variety of calculations, is also available for the Mac as a stand-alone program. Although this current version of the program does not offer exactly the same range of functions as the corresponding PC version, it has all the features of the previous Windows version Excel 2013 and now also offers full compatibility between the two systems.

But Excel 2016 for Mac still includes a host of new features and tools that make it even easier to work professionally with numbers and complex tables. Sales forecasts and other forecasts can now be calculated, pivot tables can be used and pivot charts can be created.

Excel 2016 for Mac is also optimised for team collaboration and real-time sharing of spreadsheet documents. Mac users can also use Microsoft's OneDrive service to work on Excel files in the cloud, whether in the office, at home or on the road. With the upload, individual sharing or usage rights can be assigned for each authorized user, ensuring that sensitive data is protected even on the network.

Excel 2016 for Mac is available in the Wiresoft software shop as a low-priced single license. Below you will find an overview of the most important functions that this popular calculation software offers you when you buy it.

New Excel features in the 2016 Mac version

Excel 2016 for Mac includes many improvements, especially for pivot tables, as well as the following enhancements to existing features and completely new tools:

• PROGNOSE.ETS: This function calculates or estimates a future value based on existing (historical) values using the ETS (exponential smoothing) algorithm in the AAA version. For example, PROGNOSE.ETS allows you to predict sales, inventory levels, or consumer trends.
• LINK: With this function you can now link several cells in Excel in another cell.
• What-if function: This allows users to make a logical comparison between a current value and an expected value. The What-If function can produce two results: If the comparison is true, the first result is output; if the comparison is false, the second result is output. The IF function can be used to evaluate both text and values. It also allows you to evaluate errors and mathematical operators. Furthermore, several IF functions can be nested to perform comparisons.

While working on an Excel workbook, the contextual tools in particular make it easier: Together with the selection of certain elements, additional commands can be displayed in the ribbon. For example, Mac users can select a chart to display the Design Chart and Format tabs in the ribbon. They can also insert functions by clicking Insert Function on the Formulas tab to display the Formula Builder pane. Here it is not only possible to search for certain functions and insert them by clicking on them, but also to look up the correct syntax. This feature also offers comprehensive help for the selected functions. In addition to these special calculation functions, Excel for Mac 2016 also includes a number of other tools that make working with Excel files easier:

• View filter: Especially when several users work together on an Excel document, it is often difficult to keep track of their own calculations. Using the filter view in Excel for Mac 2016, users can now hide the sort orders and filters of other employees.
• Filemaker: The Mac version of Excel 2016 also has a special advantage over the PC version: It offers direct access to Filemaker databases.
• PivotCharts: For the first time, the Mac version of Excel 2016 also includes support for PivotCharts. This means that charts can now also be derived from PivotTables.
• Recommended charts: This useful feature, which is also included in Excel 2016 for Mac, provides a very practical aid for selecting the most appropriate chart type for a particular spreadsheet. To activate it, simply select all the relevant data with the mouse or pencil and the function will suggest a selection of matching chart types in the Live Preview based on the real data.
• Formula Generator: This tool is a welcome relief, especially for beginners, when they want to create a new formula, because it explains every single function in detail.

New general single user features in Office for Mac 2016

Excel 2016 for Mac also includes a number of additional handy features and tools to help Mac users with many of the tasks that come with Excel workbooks:

Formula input with freehand

The formula entry with the freehand tool offers practical application possibilities especially in Excel 2016 for Mac: Using the mouse or touch input, a mathematical formula can be created freehand and immediately inserted and used in an Excel document.

Easier sharing of Excel documents

The 2016 version of Excel for Mac makes it even faster and easier to share Excel sheets with other users. The Share feature is available in the 2016 for Mac ribbon. It offers a number of options for each Excel document: Individual rights can be assigned to each addressee - not only to read, but also to edit, forward, etc.

Use "Version History" for collaboration in Excel 2016

The "Version History" function is also available in Excel for Mac 2016. This gives users a version history of each Excel document. The great advantage of  "Version History" is not only that this tool shows older editing states, but also that these versions can be reopened for further editing. This makes it easier when several users are working simultaneously on an Excel document in the cloud and it is often difficult to keep track of all the actions that are currently being performed by others.

Use OneDrive in Excel 2016 for Mac

OneDrive is a practical cloud storage solution from Microsoft, which allows files to be shared or made available via the web. Users who want to use the OneDrive sync app on their Mac can download it and use it in Excel 2016 for Mac. Excel documents can be stored in OneDrive and made available for online access anywhere and to a variety of devices.

Data Loss Protection in Excel for Mac 2016

Data Loss Protection (DLP), Microsoft's proven tool for preventing data loss and protecting sensitive data, is also integrated into the Mac version of Excel 2016. The powerful content filters detect sensitive data such as credit card numbers, etc. and alert users to them or prevent their disclosure in an Excel file. As a result, administrators use the DLP in Excel 2016 for Mac primarily to create policies for creating and sharing content that contains sensitive information so that potential security risks are immediately identified and displayed.
