![]() What exactly do you want to know about excel? Excel has 2 main features. It is a spreadsheet program that has database capabilities and it has a built in "programming" language. You can "learn" the spreadsheet by just "playing" with it. Think of something you do with mathematics on a regular basis by hand, then "translate" that into Excel. Use the help feature, it is usually pretty good and informative, although it does leave a little or a lot to be desired (depending on the function and the version of Excel). You may want to obtain a book about Excel (sorry, I know of none off of the top of my head) from the library or a bookstore (I recommend the bookstore, that way you can use it forever and mark it up with notes, etc.). Programming Excel is a relatively easy jump from there, although it requires much more time to learn. -- bgeier ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bgeier's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=12822 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=541781 |

There was an e-mail "joke" circulated a while ago regarding this concept in
human comprehension. It supposedly originated at Cambridge, triggered by a study that took place there.
