You’re thinking as an individual. Excel in the business is what keeps Office afloat. There simply is no substitute. Even if you want to go with another spreadsheet, who’s going to trust that to faithfully import Excel data?
LOL, Excel doesn’t mangle shit. It’s best-in-class spreadsheet software for a dozen reasons. #1 being that it never changes. It’s solid, no other software like it. Business won’t risk fucking around with anything else.

Well, no? It would be ridiculous to expect me to be a power user over all the software I’ve administrated. I judge what people need according to business demands and orders from on high. My judgement is that, yes, some business units require Excel.
That’s not what the claim was though, was it. Someone said Excel also mangles files and your counter seems to be that no it doesn’t because you’ve got users who use it. But the one thing does not automatically follow from the other.
LibreOffice. No need for MS Office, ever

I’m not sure I even trust Excel to import an Excel file without mangling it.
you guys are able to save an excel file without it nuking everything?

So, not actually an Excel power user then.

Bruh. We’re talking about a certain piece of software. You’re getting a bit off track.
