Hello,
I am looking for ONLINE FREE materials to learn Excel.
From zero to "acceptable" level:
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:
If you can do these things, you’ll outperform 95% of people in the workplace.
To learn these concepts, you could:
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,
A few good resources:
https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/learn-excel-resources
https://www.udemy.com/share/101Wde/ (Udemy is excellent. $15...basically free)
Important Tip: Don't just learn formulas etc. Test yourself! Download a free data set, ask yourself a question, and try to solve for it. Play with actual data solving real questions and building a real dashboard etc. Don't just passively take lessons :)
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
