How best to get excel?

[audi321]

Hi all, I have been working with an 'alternative' to excel (libraoffice) for a long time now, but I have a requirement to use proper MS excel now. Other than the full Office suite, what is the best way to get just excel?

Obviously i will need to pay, but is a subscription the only way? Or can you still buy 'lifetime' versions? I don't need the latest version, even a 10 year old version will do (I need to open xmlb files).

Thanks all

Is Google Sheets an option? It's very good.

If your file is on your OneDrive (i.e. in the cloud) then you can use MS Office (now called Microsoft 365) apps for free online...
