Seeking general advice for improvement.

What do you all recommend to get better at Excel? I'm currently doing a course by Macquarie university on Coursera which is great and their challenges are awesome, but sometimes even after watching their tutorial videos I cannot solve their practice challenges. I'm looking for general tips, advice, and additional resources. Thanks guys!

Hi mystikpalace and welcome to the forum,

I'm learning Excel, one problem at a time . Excel is such a large garage full of tools you can't learn it all at once. There are lots of level to learn in Excel also, some which I'm very good at and others that I still don't understand. If your course gives you an assignment or topic to learn, I'd read at least 4 different web pages about that function/feature/tool and then watch two short YouTube videos explaining it. The more different ways a subject is explained the better you understand and learn it.

If you have more specific questions about which topic or feature then keep asking.

Thank you for your advice; I'm going to take it. Excel is quite overwhelming for me to be honest.
