<p>Hi - lynda.com has great tutorials. I have a subscription through my work but there are individual subscriptions ranging from $25 a month. I like that it splits up lessons so that no lesson is all that long. It serves as a nice reference too.</p>

<p>YouTube : Microsoft excel beginner training by MotionTraining…guy has a British accent. Each video is about 5 minutes long and walks you through it all, very helpful. </p>

<p>You can also open Excel and click on the Help icon. You will see:</p>

<p>Basic tasks in Excel</p>

<p>One of the best ways to learn about Excel is to open the program and try using the various features. However, if you prefer to learn in a more focused way, or if you just need a little help getting started, you can refer to the following “quick start” articles.</p>

<p>Create a workbook
Enter data in a worksheet
Format a worksheet
Format numbers in a worksheet
Print a worksheet</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.gcflearnfree.org/computers”>http://www.gcflearnfree.org/computers&lt;/a&gt; has some do-it-yourself tutorials.</p>

<p>If the link doesn’t work, google Goodwill Industries Excel Training and you should get a functional link.</p>

<p>I learned Excel fairly quickly using on-line tutorials but it took longer than two days to be “proficient”
Really depends on what type of data bases you’re trying to create.</p>

<p>I took a class at a community college for an entire semester and still don’t consider myself proficient.</p>
