Hello everyone, I have read the pages of this site plenty from google searches over the past month and decided t register.

I've used limited functions of excel in my past, but with my new job I find that I need to use it much more. Along with frequency I am hearing things like VLOOKUP and MACRO thrown around. I am vaguely familiar with what those are, but surely couldn't execute them if my life depended on it. I did take an advanced excel course where the instructor covered such things (he worked on a single PC while the class observed, not the preferred format for me) but I wasn't able to follow along because I didn't understand.

I have followed tutorials doing VLOOKUP and MACROS with a few cells, but I struggle to figure out how I can apply those tools into my day to day in order to make excel a tool instead of a chore.

So that's my story and I am going to apologize in advance for any dumb questions, but if you don't ask you never learn.
