As far as I understand, the wbe versions are very stripped down compared to their desktop counterparts. That’s a great question though and one I should explore. When I actually spring for excel/365 I can check out the web version while on Linux and if it doesn’t work, look into setting up a virtualized Windows setup.
Btw, the web versions of MS Office are completely free when opening files on a personal, unpaid OneDrive via the web interface at https://onedrive.live.com/
The web versions are literally the thing that Teams launches when you share and open documents there. Teams and the US’s obsession with Chromebooks at school are probably the driving factors behind improving Office Web. Benefit for non-ChromeOS Linux users is surely just coincidental (kinda like Adobe Express).
Isn’t Excel Web compatible with its own macros?

True but they’re constantly improving and they may be good enough, depending on the use case.
I did not know that. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks. This has been a very informative comment chain. 😅
