Weird question about Microsoft Excel

So I have been wanting to learn more about how to use Microsoft Excel so I can teach other people about some of the more advanced programming techniques (EDIT: 1-on-1 lessons on their own computer with their own licensed copies of Excel). I want to teach myself more about Excel so I was going to install it on my own computer and do some advanced tutorials. But then I really do not want to burn up all of that disk space just to run Wine and Excel.

So I got to thinking:

  1. is there an older version of Microsoft Excel I could use instead?
  2. The “ribbon” UI/UX asside, how far back in time (in Excel software versions) would I have to go before the formula language and cell computation engine became too different from the most recent Excel that it would not be very useful for me as a learning/teaching tool?
  3. Would it take less disk space to run this in a minimal Windows NT 2000 or Windows XP instance on QEMU than it would take on Wine?

Did you know Excel has an experimental "advanced formula environment" where you can write in a text editor interface with line breaks and indents and everything????

I did not until recently!

You can even import code directly from a github gist url! Anyway here is the gist with my custom functions, some of which are things I've wanted in excel for years, and now just...have

Any suggestions for #GoogleSheets or #MicrosoftExcel addons for #SentimentAnalysis? I have a hobbyist use case, not commercial. Also, this is needed only one or two times, not something I need regularly (read: needs to be free/cheap). About 50-100 survey responses, around 20-30 words each average. MonkeyLearn is not free, ChartExpo can chart but requires a sentiment score calculated already. I was able to summarize with #bingGPT but it does not take all the input.
