As much as I despise Microsoft and 365, Excel is like the one thing I genuinely think they deserve an incredible amount of credit for. It's one of the most invaluable, well supported tools around.

Shame you can't just buy it.

You can. It's expensive, but perpetual licences for Office still exist. The Home edition is €150, the professional edition costs €580.

I mean Excel specifically, not the whole suite. I don't need PowerPoint or a word processor, I'd rather it not be included in the price at all.

Also, they've made OneDrive a requirement for auto-saving on 365, not sure if that's the case for the perpetual licenses, but if so, that's a deal breaker for me. There will never be a Microsoft account associated with my Windows machine, period.
