When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
I have monthly returns and wanted to calculate a 3 & 5 Year annualized return.

You have 60 months (5 years) of data. I presume that the returns are percentages written as decimal numbers. (Bad practice, IMHO.) For example, 0.71 is to be interpreted as 0.71%.

In that case, the 5-year annualized return is (normally-entered):

=PRODUCT(INDEX(1+B2:B61%,0,1))^(1/5) - 1

which __I__ would format as Percentage. You might write =(PRODUCT...-1)*100, formatted as Number. (Sigh.)

FYI, the use of INDEX(...,0,1) is a trick to avoid array-entering the formula. The use of "%" is shorthand for "/100".

I'm not sure what you mean by "3-year annualize return".

Brokers usually mean "the most-recent 3 years". In that case, I would write (normally-entered):

=PRODUCT(INDEX(1+B26:B61%,0,1))^(1/3) - 1
