I would like to be able to use excel in wine and I have almost got it working. Sor far I have followed these steps:
step 1 deleted ~/.wine
step 2 run command (to make my wine prefix 32-bit not 64) WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
step 3 follow instructions here https://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/06/how-to-install-microsoft-office-suite-2...
step 4 excel installed (32-bit version) with no errors so did the dotnet20 and msxml and corefonts pacakages. When excel is opened I get the error: Not enough memory to run Microsoft Excel. lease close other applications and try again
This install works fine on windows so it is not my disc I have tried on my laptop which has 4GB RAM (3.2GB fre when I tried to open excel) and my desktop which has 32GB RAM of which most is free.
Does anyone have any clue how to get this working? Perhaps there is a setting telling wine how much memory it has available?

I have better success by not using Wine to run MS Office in linux. I suggest installing the linux version of wps-office using the one click install. I use the one provided by home:opensuse_zh http://software.opensuse.org/package/wps-office?search_term=wps-office If I need to use MS Office in linux, I run it in some version of windows in VirtualBox in my opensuse system. I use it every month this way to produce a newsletter using MS Word and Adobe Acrobat. I have never had very good success using Wine or its commercial equivalent to run MS programs in Linux dependably. You describe your Wine setup as "almost working," I can say that has been the state of Wine for the last 10 years or so.
