Hello,

I am looking for ONLINE FREE materials to learn Excel.

From zero to "acceptable" level:

  • Simple formulas & tools: formating, sorting, sum, average, vlookup, etc.
  • Conditional formulas: sumif, averageif, etc.
  • Pivot tables

It can be videos, free courses or tutorials, whatever works!

Thanks for any hint!

Dear A,

Congratulations to your offer!

It would be helpful for you to learn the business-focused Excel features.

In business, about 80% of your work will come from 20% of the functionality of the Microsoft Excel.

The core skills of a competent business Excel user are something like:

  • Formatting & basic formulas
  • Mouse-free Excel navigation
  • Vlookups & conditional statements
  • Data analysis - filtering, sorting, and analyzing data
  • Data visualization - tables, charts, and dual axis charts
  • What-if-analysis
  • Pivot tables

If you can do these things, you’ll outperform 95% of people in the workplace.

To learn these concepts, you could:

  • Learn the concepts online for free
  • Take an online course

If you’re looking for something free, I’d recommend Googling & Youtube-ing those topics on my list. Tons of free material online. On Udemy you can also find some courses.

If you’re short on time, take a short business-focused online course.

I’d recommend the following business-focused course focused on mastering the 20% of functions that make up 80% of Excel work.

Also, for candidates like you, who have already secured the offer with a leading consulting firm, I have designed my program "Get ready for the first 100 days " as well as long-term career planning. This program touches all the important aspects: the mindset, the skills, knowledge, networking and ,managing yourself as well, your bosses and clients - everything that is important in your successful career.

In fact, I'm sharing my knowledge of 6 years career experience in consulting, where I was able to land on the fast track promotion and to be promoted from consultant to a project manager just within 3 years, which is extremely fast.

Happy to share these insights with you, feel free to reach out directly to me.

Good luck,

André

Hi there,

For me, I find the youtube channel of Leila Gharani very helpful (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJtUOos_MwJa_Ewii-R3cJA)

She speaks a bit too slow for me, so I recommend to listen to her at 1.75 speed :) and she gives really good tutorials from basic stuff (e.g, conditional formatting) to advanced technique (e.g, data tables, pivot tables, dashboards)

Hope this helps

Khaled
