A family of Microsoft spreadsheet software with tools for analyzing, charting, and communicating data
Same issue here, the Insert > checkbox (available since Office 365) is suddenly gone since 3 days, but it is still covered by the Excel documentation. My working document looks different now and its functionality is gone. I'm very unhappy by removing features without update, notification or anything else by Microsoft. It looks as if earlier provided functionality has simply been taken away from the user by shutting it off.
