Custom data types
Traditional Excel has only two data types: text and numbers. All others (date, time, percentage, etc.) are specially formatted numbers. In the second half of 2019, Microsoft added new data types to Excel: Geography and Stocks. First, for a given term, offers an abundance of geographical determinants while the second provides data on stock market. A lot of new types have been announced, and since recently users of Microsoft 365 subscriptions can create custom data types.
