If you do share documents, Excel files especially, you'll quickly find that people using MS Office wouldn't like you using LibreOffice.

I used it with some financial records from my bank, which were in Excel format. It worked fine for me. But these might not count as complicated Excel documents. Also, I never shared any of my changes with other people.

The best solution there is to not send an Excel file. The most portable way is to export the data to CSV and send that.
