I just started a new job and I'm inquiring because I'm a novice at excel. I know I need to improve my skills and I'm working diligently off the clock and on the job. Just curious how some of you went from not knowing what to do first to mastering excel like a pro?
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
I am a long way from a pro, but i find i have good luck by concentrating on small sections and getting them right, rather than trying to understand every feature which ends up so superficial it is pretty much useless because you cant do enough to solve your problem. at least that works for me

Just asking the right questions and getting help here.

VLOOKUP, SUMIF, COUNTIF, IF and INDEX with MATCH are going to be used alot so good to get your head around.

Pivot tables also do alot of heavy lifting and don't get used nearly enough by alot of people.

Wiseowl on YouTube has some really great tutorials too so I'd have a look at his library and see what is there.
