For my own learning about Excel, I purchased a copy of "Excel 2002 for
Dummies". I sat at my computer with the book open at my left, and went
through the whole book, page by page. As I worked through each section, I
had one or more example Excel workbooks open on my computer screen, and did
what was described on each page. I also have a yellow highlight marker and
marked what seemed important to me in the book. When I was done the book, I
made a list of the pages I had highlighted and what was on them for my
personal cheat sheet. So, I have learned the rudiments of Excel, and have a
handy, highlighted reference for ongoing use. Worked for me.
