First, you can continue reading these newsgroups (though the
microsoft.public.worksheet.functoin group would be more appropriate than
..programming).

There are innumerable books out there on using XL. The hands-down best
I've seen on formulas is John Walkenbach's "Excel 200x Formulas":

If you can find a copy of the 2000 version, you may save some money and
have all you need. The 2002 version is better if you want more financial
functions. I haven't extensively reviewd the 2003 version, but formulas
haven't really changed since XL97.

Do you have any advise as to where I can begin learning
simple excel formulas like this one? Is there a list of
common formulas available on line or in books? Thanks for
your help.
