New Features in Microsoft Excel 2013 - Coming this Summer 2014

One workbook, One Window

Two workbooks, two windows
In Excel 2013 each workbook has in its own window, making it easier to work on two workbooks at once. It also makes life easier when you’re working on two monitors.

New Excel Functions

New Web functions
You’ll find several new functions in the math and trigonometry, statistical, engineering, date and time, look-up and reference, logical, and text function categories. Also new are a few Web service functions for referencing existing Representational State Transfer (REST)-compliant Web services.


Changes to the Ribbon for Charts


Chart Tools
The new Recommended Charts button on the Insert tab lets you pick from a variety of charts that are right for your data. Related types of charts like scatter and bubble charts are under one umbrella. And there’s a brand new button for combo charts—a favorite chart you've asked for. When you click a chart, you’ll also see a simpler Chart Tools ribbon. With just a Design and Format tab, it should be easier to find what you need.

You can open each Excel file in a separate window today. And you don't need to wait for a newer version of Excel to do it. It's a simple process outlined in the post below - and you'll be much happier once you get set up.
