UPDATE: CAN'T Fix? : Formula Bar Now at Bottom of Excel (for Android) Screen

I also have this irritating issue. Some time around the start of 2022 my formula bar moved to the bottom of all Excel spreadsheets opened on my Samsung Galaxy S10. I absolutely hate it. And I find Microsoft's denial of the problem very insulting.

Add me to that list, using Samsung galaxy s21 ultra, with all updates installed. Have cleared cache, reset excel, cleared data, uninstalled, restart phone and reinstalled, etc. Can't get formula bar back up to the top. No problem on an s10, even if sharing files between the 2, so obviously something within the app (or in combo with something on the phone) versus actual files.

Tin,

Thank you – for the quick response, & suggestion.

Unfortunately, it did not change anything. Backing up, I have a professional tech background, & should have mentioned other steps I'd already tried, when I posted. Your suggestion would still have been new, & worth trying, but, now, for the record, here are some of the other steps I've tried – some before, + some after, reading & trying your suggestion. None provided any change/improvement; I :

• Cleared the Excel cache, in Android Settings, + Powered off & Started the phone (did not 'Restart'), before rechecking
• Created a new blank workbook, first with my phone, then with my Win10 desktop (which has never exhibited this problem); reopening either on my phone made no difference; but either displayed fine on my desktop
• Uninstalled Excel, then Powered off + Started the phone, before reinstalling & checking Excel
• Since Excel's in-app Settings, on my phone, only offer "Reset Office", I first just reset Excel (Force-stopped the app, then cleared its cache + data), then Powered off + Started the phone, before opening Excel
• Your suggestion: Used Excel's in-app Settings, to "Reset OFFICE" (I was surprised at how quickly this occurred – the app seemed ready to allow me to open a workbook, more quickly than if I'd just closed a workbook), but still no improvement, before or after restarting

I'm still stuck, and at a loss.

One STRANGE BEHAVIOR/observation that may be worth noting – I have a pair of Samsung Galaxy Tab S4s – that's the model that came out approximately when Office pricing changed, & has a screen that's 0.1 inch too large to qualify for a free copy of Office for Android (which is not a problem, as I don't use either for anything requiring Office functionality).

FTR: I own/use full, legal software + licensing for local-install Office Pro and Windows 10 Pro.

This afternoon, I became curious, & checked one of the Tabs. Initially, behind text advising that I could not save any changes without subscribing to Office 365, I could see that the function bar was at the bottom of the screen, same as on my phone. After resetting office on my phone and restarting both tablets, I checked them, & both, thru the same warning text, now show function bars at the top of the workbook page, like my desktop, + like my phone, just last week. Go figya‽

Any further advice, suggestions, recommendations, etc., would be greatly appreciated, EXCEPT a full Factory Data Reset on my phone. That will, no doubt, at some point, become inevitable, & I will check this, then, but given the time already spent on this issue I can't afford more days, configuring my phone to be just what it otherwise is, today.

Thank you,

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Glad to hearI'm not alone in this mess! I hope the engineers are actually working on finding the issue and get us a fix! And fast!!

I've got the same problem on a Honor 20pro, Android 10, Magic UI 4.0.
