Or maybe you're worried that Excel will be too complicated.

Then again, maybe you already tried but got bogged down wading through hours of detailed training material.

Learn Microsoft Excel 2013/2016 the Fast and Simple Way

Maybe it's time you tried the fast and simple approach to learning Excel... and do it all in under 2 1/2 hours.

Hi, my name is Brian Jackson and I'd like to teach you Excel the fast and simple way, by focusing on the features of the program most commonly used in simple spreadsheets. We'll begin with the basics:

  • Assigning Values to Cells & Performing Arithmetic Operations

  • Relative and Absolute Cell References and Ranges

  • Common Math Functions: SUM, AVERAGE, MIN, MAX & COUNT

  • Editing Columns, Rows and Cells

That's all it takes is 6 lessons to learn the basics, then the section concludes with a super simple sample baseball spreadsheet.

  • Working with Worksheets and Workbooks
