It's simple

Open Excel.
Enter a few numbers.
Create a Graph.
Select Points.
Select 2nd one.
Crash!

AFAIK this only happens on Surface 3 Pro, with Office 365 x64 Pro Plus
EDIT: This does NOT happen on windows 10! Only 8.1

Thanks for the lesson but I don't care to learn how to crash Excel. I'll just keep using Excel as I always have on my 3 Surfaces.

If you don't care why take the time?

It's always interesting to learn of hardware specific bugs - it might not be a bug many run into but still, nice to know.
 
Sorry....I can't replicate this bug, I create graphs in Excel multiple times of week and I tend need to format and change things. What version of Excel (32bit or 64bit)? What plugins do you have installed?

Thats what i wanted to hear!
I'm not the only one with this Problem, some one else reported this first!
So i wondered how many other are conflicted with this.

It should be 64Bit Office 365 Pro Plus

Windows 8.1 itself should be up to date.
i do have the i5-8gb-256gb version.

No one can reproduce this issue?

Are you on the Win 10 preview?

I have a Windows 8.1 Surface Pro 3 and a Windows 10 (Build 9926) Surface Pro 3, did the test on both, could crash Excel.

Click on the "?" it will tell you if it is 64bit vs. 32bit
 
which ? in Excel itself it's the same as pressing F1.

Btw, Task manager does NOT state it as 32bit, therefore i assume it is really 64bit.

Edit: ehhh... oh this ? right there xD

Yeah 64 bit!

Windows 8.1 is build
Version 6.3.9600 Build 9600
