Any recommended online Excel classes?

[djarcadian]

I've been using Excel for years on and off but find myself having to refer to forums too often for basic stuff. Are there any online classes or Youtube series that anyone would recommend?

I would recommend the link bellow. Great collection of educational video tutorials from beginning to end.

I always like ExcelHero. The techniques described really opened my eyes and brought my skills to a new level.

If you read (and by read I mean read and understand through practice) the articles in order, you'll be well on your way to being an excel expert.

That said, the best way to learn is by doing. I'd recommend committing some time regularly to answering questions on sites like this one. Solving other people's problems will get you on the fast track to proficiency. When you solve a problem for yourself, you usually do it a certain way that fits within your preconceived notions of what is possible and what is not. But by taking on challenges from others, you'll soon find yourself investigating and creating solutions you'd never have come across on your own. Also, there will usually be other users that post solutions to the same problem. Seeing these other solutions is a great way to expand your skills and knowledge.
