Excel: Argument Assistance

Originally posted by Microsoft Feb 23, 2022 Excel 0 Comments

Argument assistance is a card that shows up when the user is writing a formula and accompanies the user during the arguments insert/edit. The Argument Assistance helps the user to be more efficient while writing formulas and reduces risk for errors, without needing to look for help in external resources. It includes descriptions of the formula and the different arguments, as well as an example. The relevant argument (according to caret’s position) will be highlighted for better orientation. The user can collapse the card and see only the top formula signature (like the tooltip today) in case he/she prefers not to hide much of the grid (we’ll save that preference).
