I'm new to MYSQL and following video tutorials. I don't own MS Office, why am I forced to instal MYSQL for excel and Visual studio? Can I skip those 2 parts?

The MySQL Installer for Windows enables the installation of most all APIs by default, such as those, but you do not have to install them. Simply press "Next" and continue with the installation process. The documentation refers to other prerequisites, such as "Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Runtime", so you'll need that for MySQL Workbench (although you probably already have it installed). Basically, install the prerequisites for the applications you want to install, and skip the others.
