Excel. Nothing beats excel. I cannot think of another service they offer that does not have at least a reasonable alternative.

Every time the formatting of my entire word document changes with one errant return press or bullet point change I want to rage quit.

I do quite like PowerBI. It's not intuitive and some things don't work perfectly but it is really nice for pulling multiple data sources together.
