Excel is the spreadsheet part of MS Office. It should not be confused, or even compared with Win98, which is an OS(OperatingSystem) The Office suite contains MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, MS Binder and Ithink also MS Access.MS Office is quite expensive.There was Office95 and Office97 and I think the latest is probably Office2000, but i can't swear to that. Is it really Excel that you're wanting then? Or a later operating system to Win98, like win2000, WinMe, WinXP all of which have succeeded Win98.
