Ramin HonaryWeird question about Microsoft ExcelSo 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:<ol><li>is there an older version of Microsoft Excel I could use instead?</li><li>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?</li><li>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?</li></ol><a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/excel" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Excel</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/microsoftexcel" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MicrosoftExcel</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/msexcel" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MSExcel</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/spreadsheet" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Spreadsheet</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/software" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#software</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/tech" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tech</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/linux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/linuxwine" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LinuxWine</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/qemu" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QEMU</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/emulation" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Emulation</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/windowsxp" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WindowsXP</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/windowsnt" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WindowsNT</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/retrocomputing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a>
