[TRITLA] Library Chromebook Question

[William Doerfer]

Along those same lines, has anyone been able to stop using Microsoft
Office? Google sheets is mostly compatible, but it doesn't quite seem to be
able to replace Excel.

We switched to G-suite, but am finding that we also need to maintain some
Microsoft licenses for reporting.

Any help will be appreciated.

Side note:  I'm not in IT by training...I'm here by necessity.
