Have you tried Wine? A lot of work has been done on it [0] with also help from the Steam devs [1] (that's mostly for games but it will have knock on benefits for Excel), and it was already reasonable back in 2010.

I did try it once, but it played up on my machine (around 2014 was the last time I tried). Might give it another try at some point in the future.
