My computer came preloaded with MS Office from Dell. I either did not have
or have lost the Office CD for reload. How can I reload Excel? I have the
license serial number.

You do not reload Excel without a CD.

You will most likely have to go through your retailer or Dell to get a
replacement CD.

On the other hand........you may get lucky at Microsoft.

Have read at this site for replacing lost or damaged disks.

Take note of the instructions concerning OEM products.

Since Dell has not "gone out of business" I think MS will direct you to your
retailer or Dell.

You will need the product key and the media.

Dell usually supply media and if you can evidence licence, they or your
local MS subsidiary will provide the media (Maybe a small handling charge
will be levied)
