Purchase a good book or two? Debra Dalglesih has a good list.
http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlbooks.html
Take a course at night-school?
Practice a lot followed by practice a lot? (this would be my first choice)
Look up on-line tutorials?
Stick around the Excel News Groups and read the questions and answers?
Check out a few of these sites listed by Ken Wright

Hi Shirley
wondering what the purpose of the question is? are you working in a company
with people who have a basic knowledge of excel and you want to extend them?
are you someone who has a good basic knowledge of excel and want to learn
more? is this a home work question?
if it is the first one - two options:
a) i would recommend hiring a "GOOD!!!!!!" excel trainer to come on site for
a day or so, so that each person in the company spends 45 -60 mins with
them at their desk discussing their actual work, how they approach it and
what they would like to be able to do faster / easier etc
b) send them on a 1 day customised training course focusing on the tricks in
excel that actually speed up your work and introducing them to functions
like the IF / VLOOKUP and pivot tables (depending on actual work
requirements)
if it is the second - the other responders have given you a good list of
options
