Start with any one and when completed move to the next. Each will have their own intricacies. You will never know everything about Excel. We/I am always learning new things. You need to just jump in -- no one here is going to spoon feed you. You have to make the effort. This site is all about helping with specific issues. It is not a site designed as a tutorial.
You might find it useful to make a little project to analyze some data,
You can put all the information you think you need in the sheet somewhere in an orderly way and then come on here and ask us how to do specific steps, or explain specific things about excel, while demonstrating that you are making an effort.
Depends on the person, but I find learning while doing something relevant to you is good.
Give one of the videos a watch anyway - they wont be that long.
If you want something done right... find a forum and ask an online expert.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
My learning curve was to take a problem, and see what I could do in excel to solve it - then see if there was a better way to do that - then look/ask around forums like this 1 to see how else it could be solved.
There is no substitute for practice and experience.
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

Haven't you already been reminded that Search engines are your friend?
thank you very much
thank you very much
i will do that
yeah
i used Google
this is how i found this forum
There are numbers and strings. Do not mix them them in one cell.
NB Dates are numbers.
Content of a cell and its format are different things.
Print layout and display (working) layout are different things.
Use links to a cell with a parameter, not a parameter itself
Always build all of your workbooks in a way you can recall on the spot even through years.
There are links to a whole bunch of Excel resources here: https://www.excelforum.com/excel-new...additions.html
this material is 12 years old
So go and find some that is more up-to-date.
We cannot answer your question. Excel does so many things in so many different ways: without a clue as to how you are expecting to be able to use it, we can't begin to advise you about where to start.
As someone already said, the best way is to set yourself a task - a little project. Work through it by attempting things yourself (there's a lot of context-sensitive help in the program itself) and by Googling or asking here when you get stuck. That's the best advice I can give. Learn by doing.

i just saw there is a section on these forums for New Users/Basics
why modarator moved this thread here instead of New Users/Basics?
nivi7,
Please see the following link, replies #25 and #26

If you are satisfied with the solution(s) provided, please mark your thread as Solved by clicking EDIT in your original post, click GO ADVANCED and set the PREFIX box to SOLVED.
@stanleydgromjr - Per post #1, Nivi7 was, I think, looking for Beginner Excel resources, not specifically for VBA.
The OP hasn't yet told us how he hopes to use Excel. If he did, it would be MUCH easier to advise him and to suggest suitable sources.
Here's something that I hope will help: https://lmgtfy.com/?q=learn+excel+2019

thank you so much
this material is what i was hoping for
thank you again
here
cant make it more clear than that
also that google search can apply to ANY other thread on this forum or any forum on the internet
you know
really makes no sense
But did you follow the link I provided and click where it said 'click here'? There are hundreds of resources for beginners available either online or as books, and for the latest version of Excel that you have. That was my point.
Here on the forum we can help you with specific requests. Generic issues such as yours are really better tackled using Google, as you know what you want to do with Excel. And, no, you still havebn't told us this. Asking us where you should start will only prompt the question, "Well, what do you want to do?". How do we know where you should start in this vast topic unless you give us some idea of what you wish to use Excel and to what end. If you don't have any idea at all why you would use Excel, then you probably don't need it.
And I think the OP has no precise idea what he is looking for...
Most of that material is still useful, of course.
You don't need to know every new function of your a beginner, just the general stuff and stuff from old versions is almost entirely present in newer versions.
makes sense of course
I have removed your offensive post.
What I am trying to find out so that we can give you better guidance is what you intend to do with Excel. What is your motivation for learning it? What sort of data do you want to analyse and in what way? How do you intend to use the information? If you answer theses questions, then we’ll be able to answer yours about where you should start. Please answer my questions.
