Which material is best to learn
 

Hi,
I am really interested in getting to know Excel really well. What books,
learning centers... would you say is best. I basically have one time funding
so I don't care how much it costs.

thanks

Ivano

That's a broad question as there are so many aspect to Excel. Charting,
Formulas, VBA, etc, etc and so many levels to start at.

If money is no object (That's so unusual), you would of course do best to
have a one-to-one teacher, but that often isn't the best. There are several
good books on the subject and many MVPs have written them. Try John
Walkenbach, Rob Bovey, John Green, Stephen Bullen on Amazon or similar.

Also there are some great web sites for Excel for learning. try some of the
ones on this list

http://www.jkp-ads.com/Links.htm

particularly Chip Pearson's, which has been built over many years, but there
may be some stronger charting ones for example.

Most of all, stick around here, there are a real multitude of great
questions asked and various solutions given

Hope this gives you a flavour

Nick's post is accurate. I think Chip's site is the one I learned the most
from when I started with Excel. I also got a lot from John Walkenbach's
site. It's also good to read questions and answers on forums like this one
and MrExcel.com.

If you're interested in books, there are roughly 27,000 books written about
Excel, and some are very good, and some are awful. I have compiled a short
list on my web site of books that (a) I own, and (b) I use. There are some
that I own but don't use, which didn't make the list. There are probably
also some I don't own but would find useful, but they didn't make the list
either. Here's my list:
