How to undo in the current file only in Excel?

The problem has 10 years and is still shamelessly not solved.

Hi @serhio ,

According to the "What are Excel instances, and why is this important?", we could know that undo works in a long "list" for all files opened in the same Excel.exe "instance".

So, to undo in the current file in Excel, we need to open a separate Excel instance for this workbook.
Thanks for your understanding.

Besides, you could submit your request to Excel developers, to make the voice louder, I gave the feedback on Undo feature like following image.

(But please note: For a variety of reasons we cannot discuss planned features, their priorities, or the dates that we expect these features to be released. )
