I'm not sure which issue you're referring to, but there are many alternatives to Excel, whether you're using Windows, Mac or Linux. It seems unlikely that all of them have the same problem.

For some reason when Excell encounters a series of commas (which is typical as shown in the example below), it can drop one or more commas.

Unfortunately when this happens, all of the data from that point on is shifted into the wrong column and CHIRP becomes upset. This does not happen in other spreadsheet programs like LibreOffice Calc and Apache Open Office Calc.
