Using a PC bring up an Excel file in Sharepoint.  Select a cell with
text in it.  Press F2 on your keyboard to enable editing within the
cell.  Press Insert on your keyboard to enable typeover of the
characters.  That won't work on Sharepoint, but it works on the PC
application.  I typeover individual characters in cells all the time
and want the original number visible while I'm editing that cell.  It's
cumbersome to use Delete and Backspace keys when the Insert key does
exactly what I want.

Another annoying thing is text size of the whole file.  It defaults to
100% when I want it at 80%.

I also have 3-4 spreadsheets open while copying and pasting data back
and forth between them.  I can arrange these windows on my PC where
they are all visible at once and easily Tab from one to another.
Keyboard shortcuts don't work elegantly through a web browser.

These are just some of the issues with working on Excel files on
Sharepoint.  There are several more and that's why I prefer using the
local version of Microsoft apps rather than the web version.
