Which version of Excel should I buy?

If you just need Excel, click one of the links to the right. 

However if you are looking for the full Microsoft Office at the same time, Caldes recommend office 365 (desktop version) as it gives you everything you need for a small monthly fee including huge Exchange disc space for email, backups, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint and Word. 

Do not buy Office 365 online as it is not powerful enough for serious spreadsheets.
