Web versions of MS office are shit if you are an advanced user. You constantly hit edge cases or stuff that doesn't work.

While I have yet to try the spreadsheet application in LibreOffice, from what I've read it, it has major gaps relative to Excel and that's with relatively basic functionality, no idea if it has tools comparable to PowerQuery / PowerPivot.

I don't mind looking for solutions when it comes to games and hobby stuff, but work applications is one area where it all just needs to work, without me having to come up with workarounds.

You can also look into coding and automation. There are often better tools to use than Excel
