upgraded my macbook pro (OS 10.15.1 )to catalina , now I can't use my 32 bit Microsoft office suite.

Can I find a way to use my older (32bit) microsoft office app? If not, is there another spread sheet available free?

Office 2011 and earlier won't run in Catalina. If you have an early version of Office 2016, you can update that for free: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/troubleshoot/administration/office-2016-for-mac-64-bit-upgrade


If you have Office 2011 or earlier and want a free alternative, some of them are:

Libre Office: https://www.libreoffice.org/

Microsoft Office on the web: https://products.office.com/en-us/free-office-online-for-the-web

Google Docs: https://www.google.com/docs/about/
