Disabling Context Menus Cell Dots in Excel Android

Why can you not disable it? Like if Im using a mouse in combination with the tablet it would be enough if looks like the same as the normal desktop version.

Well this is more device-related and Excel for Android is supposed to be used on Android devices including tablets and phones as well.

I know this sometimes causes inconvenience for some users.

Hi DumbPersonRH,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I am Thuy, an Independent Advisor and Microsoft user like you.

For this question, actually there is no way to disable those cell dots as it is set by default in Excel Android app and these dots are also used to drag cell range as well.

Hope this helps!

Regards

Konnte das Problem gelöst werden?

Hi DannyBerg!

There is an option to insert it in the cell itself but it is done manually (like you have to draw it like a rectangular shape).

To add a check box, click the Developer tab, click Insert, and under Form Controls, or active X control> click the check box.
>Click in the cell where you want to add the check box, draw a rectangular shape in the cell and the check box will appear.

To edit the size,
Right-click on the check box and click on the format control> click on the sidebar, then edit the size to what you want.

Tips: You can edit the height and width of the cells to make the Check box fit in more perfectly.
