    You can get a reasonable clone of it at http://www.openoffice.org if you need a spreadsheet. It's what I use...

    FYI You don't have to remove any other Office software to be able to install and use Open Office.

    If it's something simple you could even do it in google docs spreadsheets.

    EDIT: Beaten to it, but it's certainly true, it's like having Internet exploder and Firefox on the same machine. During the installation you can also choose whether or not to make open office the default for docs and xls', the default is that it won't so don't think it'll start taking over your machine.
