I'm exploring Microsoft's online Office Suite and I have some questions about Excel Online.

1) Is it possible to multi-select multiple cells? I'm referring to the action in the "classic" version where selection can be done using CTRL + left click on multiple, disconnected cells.

2) Is it possible (and if so, how) to export a graph directly in PNG/GIF/(any_other_image_format)?

3) If these features are not present in the free Office version, maybe the paid Office 365 version has them?

  • For questions 1 & 2 have you tried it out and couldn't do it?

  • The answer for question-1 is NO. I tried it and its not possible (at least from Google Chrome). For question-2, there are no options to export a graph (chart) from the online suite.

1) Bad News. I can confirm positively that Excel Online does not currently support non-sequential multi-select for cells. (traditionally done by holding cmd on MacOS, or ctrl everywhere else and selecting non-adjacent cells with the mouse). Supporting evidence:

2) It's a hack, but probably the easiest way to export a graph is to just maximize the graph size in the window, and then take a screenshot of it. (cmd-shift-4 on MacOS will let you crop the screenshot when it's taken. File will be PNG and saved to the desktop. On Windows I have no idea but chances are it can be done.)

3) I'm testing with Enterprise version of Office 365, so it's not likely there is any difference.
