As a program, Excel is about as refined as it can be for the tasks it is designed for.
However, do think that with more and more collaborative working being carried out across work places, improvements could be made to the way Excel manages shared worksheets.
One idea would be to allow a user to temporarily reserve certain cells or a sheet while they are working on it.
This would avoid conflicts where multiple users have been editing the same cells.

I have2 big wishes: * Improvement of data exchange between the different office applications, like between Word and Excel.
It can very well be done now, but I find the standard functionalities in Word/Excel/VBA sometimes too limited.
* Improvement of database functions in Excel.
For example, introduction of query objects, or some sort of table-linking.
O.K., it will then come closer to Access, but it will make the analysis of large datasets much easier.
