Hello everyone.

I was just wondering what you all consider to be the best version of Excel. New is typically better but for some reason I enjoy the older versions - Maybe it's a nostalgia thing.

What do you all think?

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Definitely 365 for me because it's continually updated with new functions.

also 365 because of the new functions, but when i'm nostalgic, 2007, the later versions (except for 365) weren't big changes, sometimes even worse in the ribbon.

365 for the same reasons fluff has given, previously 2010 and 2003 before that.

Much the same, although I preferred 2002/XP to 2003.
2007 was too buggy, 2008 (Mac) was the worst thing since Windows ME, and I just never liked 2013.

My big issue with 2007 (aside from being buggy) was it had the specialcells limitation, which got resolved with 2010.
I was the same with 2013 (in fact I went back to 2010).
