OK, here's a question that could very well count as "groping for an explanation"
What Excel are you using? Is it a version of Excel installed IN your laptop, or the on-line (Cloud) version? And if the on-line, does your office have a different subscription (therefore slightly different version) than you do at home?
As you say, there has to be a difference of some kind between what you're doing (where you're doing it; how you're doing it) in the two locations.

Excel is installed on my machine & the file is local. But its based on a 365 subscription so it should be pretty recent version. Version 2406 Build 16.0.17726.20206 (64 bit).
