1. Earlier this week we wrote about 5 Excel Experts who are on a mission to help the world learn Microsoft Excel. Chandoo was our favorite.
2. Mr. Excel was a close runner up. They are the most comprehensive sources of information for beginners to advanced users of Excel.
3. Debra Dalgleish’s Contextures, John Walkenbach’s The Spreadsheet Page, and Daniel Ferry’s Excel Hero are also good guru sites but are more useful to intermediate and advanced users of Excel.
4. Excel Exposure is a good no frills Excel course focusing on Excel 2010 for PC’s. It has a lot of great beginner content with videos and how-to text. It was also selected for inclusion into University of Reddit. It is a work in progress and many of the more advanced lessons have not been added to the site yet.
5. Another no frills options is Excel Central which has video, ebooks, and excel file downloads. If you snoop around enough you will realize that Excel Central is actually a paid course and front to sell books by Mike Smart. However, Excel Central gives away videos and PDF for the first 7-8 chapters (each of which have atleast 10 learning modules) for the Essential and Expert Skills Courses in Excel 2010 and 2007, which is a fair amount of free content.
6. ImproveYourExcel is a clean looking site with over 60 introductory video tutorials for Excel 2010. Again if you click around enough you will find there are some Excel videos they are trying to sell.
7. Excel Easy a simple excel reference worth checking out. It contains all the basics one needs to get function in Excel 2010. It does not have any videos but does have explicit instructions with pictures and there no adverisements whatsoever.
