The Excel UI has changed once significantly in the past 2 decades with the addition of the Ribbon.

The Excel data format has changed once, significantly, in the past 2 decades (which was forced on MS and even though MS has tried to sabotage the openness of the new formats they were required to create, its still much better than the predecessors).

It’s hard to think of any other change that wasn’t just an addition (new formulas, higher column/row limits).

But, importantly, that data format change didn't mean you were forced to stop using the old format.
