    Re: How to Get MS Excel for Free

    I believe the online version has been free for quite some time.

    One thing I don't understand in the linked page:
    Large Data Limitations: Excel Online has file size limits (between 30 and 100MB, depending on your Microsoft 365 subscription).
    If you are using the free online version, you don't need a Microsoft 365 subscription. I don't understand what this means.

    I have never dug down into it but I suspect there are a lot more limitations than what are mentioned here, but probably "good enough" for most people.

    AFAIK, the online version has always been free. It's also been described as crippleware due to its limitations...

    Excel Online is consistently updated, and you often get access to the latest features faster than desktop users.
    Not sure that's correct either - see here?

    Feature updates Security updates, but no new features.

    That may be correct but I have a hard time making sense of it. Excel Online is frozen in time forever, never to get another new feature again?

    I would like to think that isn't the case.

    The free version does not have groupby yet, but the paid for version does. So maybe it's not getting updated.

    I have GROUPBY in my desktop version (365 subscription) but not when I use the online version logged into my account.

    I don't have it online either, whether logged in with my work account (ME channel so don't have it on desktop either) or my personal one, where I do have it on desktop.
    Everyone who confuses correlation and causation ends up dead.
