Does liber office make .docx files and export to pdf?

It does. It's fine as a replacement for Word, but no one has an answer for Excel. LibreOffice Calc is fine for a basic spreadsheet, but Excel is in a completely different universe than Calc with anything beyond that.

To be fair though, Excel is in a completely different universe than literally any other competing product.

Do you know how both of those compare with Google Sheets?

Sheets is capable enough for the average person but a business is always going to want to use Excel because it's the industry standard.

I can't remember the last time I actually needed a spreadsheet for anything other than looking at a bunch of tabular data, but I'm a programmer so I'm not the standard spreadsheet user.
