    I would love to switch to LibreOffice (or similar) but I haven’t been able to find a way to get tables to work in the same way they do in Excel, and that’s a deal breaker for me. None of the suggested approaches come close to being able to select a range, press ctrl+t and immediately be able to filter/sort/lookup using column names from anywhere in the document. I use that feature dozens of times a day, and so does everyone in my circles that deals with financial data.

      You can purchase the Microsoft apps , word, excel, PowerPoint, as a package that you own. There are no upgrades. You own them.

      I am in the process of moving to Linux and Libreoffice at the moment. I’m working at getting myself off of Onedrive.

      Once complete I will start the process of getting off Google. I’ve been using Proton for years and I am going to remove any other online support.
