    Hi,
    this request is now open for more than a year...
    When do you consider implementing it?
    Is there something like a "release plan" for the backlog - is it public somewhere?

    Peter Lindlau commented  · 

    Would be excellent!
    But please make sure that the task pane is hidden and not removed, so that all objects such as event handlers stay alive

    This idea now sits there for almost 4 years.
    @Microsoft: Don't you consider this as a real fundamental requirement?

    You have now introduced a new API path, which is dedicated to the actual Office product (Shared vs Host-API). In your documentation, your are saying that the Host-API is the one for the future: “This model represents the future of Office JavaScript APIs”. In the host API for Excel, however, I have not yet seen any event support (cell/range/table changes, etc.)
    Can you confirm, whether you will move/add event support in the host-based API?
    Otherwise a developer would have to deal with two API flavors…

    By the way: The information, that you will introduce a host based API, would have been a good answer to this thread

    I have had a brief look at the ‘Ewa’ JS namespace provided for Office Apps in Sharepoint. It seems that you already provide a lot of the requested functionality there. Why don’t you provide that same functionality directly in Office/Excel 2013?

    You are now reviewing this for about one and a half years - is it dead?
    I really think it is rather importand to provide drag and drop...

    Provide a mechanism to get information about a cell / binding similar to =cell(info_type, reference)
