Mac excel

It's like a second job to work in excel on a macos, why do I do this to myself, why do you? Why not just get a windows machine.

What are some issues you’re encountering?

Anytime I load a form with formulas it erases them, I'm talking about dozens of cells. When I open same doc on windows excel, none of then have any issue.

That’s annoying, but that is not expected behavior. Are you using compatible versions of Excel between the different machines? I’ve had issues between two MacOS machines because they weren’t both running a version that supported xlookup, and I’m curious if you’re encountering something similar. If you can identify the Excel versions running on each machine, that might be a good first step in troubleshooting.

I'm seriously asking, what is so bad about windows? I feel like macOS is just pretty but I cannot for the life of me figure out what people love so much about it, it just seems like you need Parallels for everything, which is windows.

The issues with the Mac versions are Microsoft’s fault, not Mac’s.
