Is there an Android app (ideally FOSS) that can reliabley edit excel files with good performance, WITHOUT the need for Google Play Services?

Think Sheets, sans Google. Im running #GrapheneOS Google free and Id like to keep it that way.

 Yes my device works great without Google. Ive found alternatives for most things I need!

For this Ive tried a few things in-browser (incl even Sheets which has terrible performance in browser), Cryptpad, AndOpenOffice. Nothing works as well as Apple Numbers or Google Sheets native apps.

Considered trying Excel but it needs a MS account. Would rather something non-cloud.

 I'm using OnlyOffice on both Android and Linux. I found it to be the most compatible with MSOffice so far. Not sure if it's FOSS though.

 Webapps like #Nextcloud Office or #Cryptpad should work fine.
