Not so much with the workings but how can I get it on my PC for cheap? I need it for one reason & one reason only, to fill in my work timesheet at home!
My boss sends me it in Excel, I don't have Excel but I tried Apache Office & Libre but neither are working properly & the formula's all to pot.
What should happen is this, I put in the total hours I have to work in a year (1020.50) & when I input my start/finish times the formula should knock the hours off the total. This isn't happening with either Apache or Libre. Iv'e even taken my PC to work for the boss to try but even he can't make it work. It's fine when I use the work PC obviously but trying to get on a Council computer is a nightmare cos theyr'e always in use by someone + when you do find one it takes yonks just to log on!
All I want to do is come home, log on, put my hours in, log off.
Any cheap/free way of downloading Excel for a dummy?
Tried goolge docs? Basic formulas should still work OK?
What if you do it at home, save the file and then just open it at work ? - excel generally recalculates on startup I think and you might find that it works then and subtracts any new stuff that you've added. If so, your boss should see the files "normally" on his PC anyway

I’m sure there’s an official Microsoft online freebie version of excel but could be imagining things.
The Office phone apps are very good too
I got a full install of office for free (maybe £10 can't remember) just because work has a 365 license.
Google ms office home use.
Excel online. 100% free and official from Microsoft
I have office and excel on my phone and android tablet.
I can e mail a document as an attachment, it opens as a read only document, but if saved, can then be re-opened as a document to work on.
I'm sure that originally came from the Microsoft site directly.
I've downloaded Office for a trial period (must remember to cancel in 29 days!) & Excel is there & hunky dory.
What if you do it at home,
I couldn't cos I didn't have Excel & as I said doing it at work is a nightmare anyway, I'd be there 2 hours after finishing work just to log on!

Cheers Bob, I'll look at that for when my trial period expires. I have no use for any of the other Office publications.

Ah, no - I mean, do it at home in LibreOffice (just fill in the cells and don't worry about the calculation part). Then save it and take/send to work and open there in excel (or get your boss to) - my guess is that it'd then work fine and will show the right answers on their machine. Once you know that's a goer you can do it in Libre and just send it to whoever needs it at your work whenever you have to.
i thought that even if you have a free MS OneDrive account you can edit Office documents including Excel online. The only difference as far I as I remember is that it won't run any VBA macros. It should be easy enough to know as Excel books with macros have a .xlsm extension rather than .xlsx
