i've been privileged, especially as i'm now retired, to say to people,
"sorry, i can't use excel; please send me a .csv file", just get the
data (no formulas, etc.), and go from there (i typically use R to look
at/analyze the data).  more than 95% of the time, i'm quite happy with
the results of this method.

cheers and good luck, Greg
