If it is going to happen, it might not be a bad idea for the MVPs to request that some of the useful xlm functions be converted to native Excel functions. It is likely a trivial process for the Excel development team to do this, but it is not a trivial process to put the request in their headlights.

When I learned about XLM and the ability to use it through defined names in Excel, I thought I was in heaven. It was a blessing because I could accomplish many of the same things as UDFs, but I didn't have to know VBA! The amount of information you could obtain from GET.CELL alone was incredible.

But as time passed and my VBA skills improved (improved is a relative term), I shied away from it. But I also heard a rumor from one of the MVPs (don't recall who) that Microsoft will eventually phase it out of Excel...another good reason to stay away from solutions using XLM.

Is this true? If so, in what version will this happen?

Thanks.
