If they're on Office 365, they could be on Linux.

The browser version of excel is vastly inferior for power users

Or winapps/cassowary/<latest tool>

I try to use libreoffice when possible but sometimes the performance takes a nosedive for opaque reasons when excel is ok

Every time I try to edit my cv containing many disconnected tables I want to scream from the frustration.

In Ms Office it's always the breeze and 2 minute job. In Libre office it's 15 at least, multiple fights with pages suddenly breaking, cells and rows refusing to stick to my dimensions or something perfectly fine in the print preview lose edges of the cells (ie missing letter, etc) when actually on paper/pdf.

Infuriating.

And I didn't even started about printing in Linux. What works in android ootb didn't consistently work for me across two distributions, several years and many versions. Papercut is the worst but cups is close second.
