Do you know how it disappeared? Did you just install Big Sur on your MacBook Air? I ask because Big Sur will not run any 32-Bit applications. Your MS Excel app may have been 32-Bit. It, therefore, still exists on your drive however inaccessible by Big Sur. You can perform a spotlight search to confirm. If this is the case then you can go back to Microsoft's website and download a new version of Excel after signing into your Microsoft store account.
