    This Site is Disappointing Me BIG TIME!!!

    I'm a beginner-intermediate in excel. I want to further my understanding of excel in the area of vlookup, macros and pivot tables. But the problem is this site doesnt help. For example, when I searched for vlookup in the tutorial section, I read about problems a bit too advanced for me, in some circumstances, ones that require know-how of vba.

    I want to work with this site. But so far, its disappointing. I strongly feel that this is not a site for beginners. If someone can help me change my point of view, I ask that you please help me. For example, in terms of vlookup, can someone show me what posts to read on that shows a progression of difficulty; like, say a post on simple vlookup. From there, vlookup using a table from another wookbook. Then a vlookup with an IF criteria.. etc.

    I don't mean to sound angry, but I really am. Looking forward to your answers. Thanks.

    I just say in my experience, I'm start from newbie in this forum and other forums like mr.excel forum, ozgrid forum, I am learning from all the experts here until now and see how they giving the answer. And the best tool for answer is google and youtube and with right keyword of course. And the final part to be excelllent in excel, you practice to help people to solve their problem, sometimes you fail, sometimes you succeed, but it doesnt' matter when you've got something deeper in excel knowledge.

    Sorry for my bad english, here good start learn basic excel :

    Very good links! I want to thank you all for these links. Theyre very helpful to me. I will look at these more in depth.

    If you guys have more links for pivot tables and macros, I'd be completely in your debt. Thanks guys!!!!

    For PT, look at this link. Scroll down a bit. All of this is demo'd in 2003 but the concepts are the same in later versions.

    I find excelisfun on YouTube to be very good. He has over 2400 videos from beginner level to advanced. Along with the videos, he has actual workbooks for download that match his video presentations. He is much like Debra's Contextures website.

    I suggest you buy a book or go on a course. This is really a Q&A site like most forums.

    Re: This Site is Disappointing Me BIG TIME!!!

    I'd suggest you press F1 and get help on all the functions that are available in Excel. For VBA I recommend the John Walkenbach books.

    We are happy to help but much better in answering questions that have answers. When the statement is "I want to learn Excel", the topic is much too big to handle. We really need to have you give us a problem you've tried to solve and then see how we might solve it.

    Sorry you are looking elsewhere, but I completely understand.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    I think this is a great site. You will learn a lot ... and fast. Whereas you will quickly become bored with the basics once you understand them. Then you will be back ... and love this place.
