Know about F9 (recalc) and the Formula Auditing tool in XL 2003 (View |

Know how many row and cols in XL2003 and that nesting limit is 7. Beware
that XL2007 has about 1 million rows and over 1000 columns and nesting 64
deep.

Other people will add/subtract from my list but just get on and doing some
thinking about Excel.

Be honest - you will be unhappy if the job is beyond your abilities.
all the best

Thank you Bernard,

However, I wonder if you could advise on any areas which would be
considered
the next step up from beginner?

You're right I've a 3 hour job interview on Friday morning which includes
testing on Excel - they require Intermediate/Advanced skills and I'm
panicing
- copy of excel for dummies should be with me on Tuesday!!

Sorry, but I cannot really tell you more.
Buy Excel for Dummies asap, read it from cover to cover, pray hard, and
go
to the interview
Tell us the outcome - we are routing for you!
best wishes
