how can i improve my skills in excel
There are on line courses, there are several courses, eg at colleges, which
you can enter for, you can buy instructional CD's and books, and there is an animal called the Help file. All this means nothing if you do not practice what you learn! The more spreadsheets you develop - developer - the more proficient you will become. Eventually, you can of course gain enough knowledge to enable you to develop spreadsheets, really complicated, macro driven sheets, for others, and in this way earn something on the side, or make a living from being an Excel developer. -- Hth Kassie Kasselman "CmK" wrote: how can i improve my skills in excel I have being ussing excel for two years and i would like to help people make worksheets or even reply to some of the problem in the discussion groups.

'where are the online courses..." online, of course, and this is a case of
"Google is your friend" (or Yahoo! or MSN or your preferred search engine). Search for Excel Tutorials and start filtering through the returns. You'll find some that expect you to pay for them, you'll find many that don't. One of the first hits returned by my search was: http://www.usd.edu/trio/tut/excel/ - a free one from the University of South Dakota. Microsoft offers a full line of tutorials: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...831141033.aspx I don't know that there's a specific certificate that is associated with development of Excel or other Office applications. There are MOS certificates obtained through testing of your knowledge of how to use the Office applications. You can get individual certificates for individual programs like Excel, Outlook, Access, Word, Visio and PowerPoint - and if you pass enough of them, then you get the MOS Master certificate (which I hold). And being a holder of it, I can tell you that it has nothing to do with developing - those certificates test things that a person in an office might need to know to use the applications proficiently. You can read up on those certificates he http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mc...t/default.mspx "CmK" wrote: Hi Thanks for the reply where are the online courses and how do u become a developer do you have to get a certificate or is it just by reputation Where do i go to meet people that want spread sheets made thanks again "kassie" wrote: There are on line courses, there are several courses, eg at colleges, which you can enter for, you can buy instructional CD's and books, and there is an animal called the Help file.
