I will strive to learn and excel and after some expertise, I would definitely spread it to those who are in need of it, obviously free. I think this could be one way to pay you back. My sincere regards to you Sumit Bansal.

sounds good will give it a go

Sumit, as I mentioned in an earlier comment, I am fully retired 5 years now. In my day was considered an advance Excel user – VBA programmer. But I must confess I have learned things in your tutorials I knew about but never mastered. You tutorials say things in simple terms. I just finished lesson 8: Number Formatting in Excel. I used this function often in my work but now have a better understanding of how to use the different formats of number, dates and times. Thank you for EXCELLENT tutorials. Can’t wait to learn more. Thanks again.

Will there be any certification given at the end of the course?

Can it be used better than tally for inventory management

this is a great Excel training program. I thanks Mr.Sumit Bansal give to opportunity develop our Excel side.

thank you , very helpful

It will be my joy to start this training and finish to become a pro in no distant time. Thanks for this offer and opportunity.

This video is helping a lot!

Thank you Sumit for making learning Excel for me a piece of cake. All this while, I was under confident when it has come to Excel. You entire Module is a collection of all the lessons and I do not have to go anywhere else to find video. I practice these everyday. Thank you once again. And yes I would like to treat you with coffee sometime as a gesture for your help!

How to login and start training..

Amazing! This is so useful, so clear. I wish I found you long time ago 🙂 Thank you so much.

Hi and thank you for all the content. I had a question regarding the countifs function. I had the quiz question how many times does the number 3 appear between the integers 300-400. I know the answer is 120 after looking into it further I was wondering if there’s a way to get to this answer using countifs, if so how? I thought it would look something like this =countifs(b1:b100, “3**”, b1:b100, “*3*”, b1:b100, “**3”) but clearly have it wrong.

I’m interested to do this course

I must appreciate you ,you have prepared all the videos and that available for all. Regarding printing I want to know how can I print bill format using data of various cells

Can’t wait to get started, an 81 year old.

Want to learn excel

Hi sumit, thanks for giving such wonderful learnings at no cost. Will u please guide me for certification stages in excel and also best link to go for it. I would really appreciate ur response. Thanks in advance

is there a book covering this course? If not what books do you recommend to learn Excel for work?

It’s very useful course. Thank you sir.

Is there any assessment that I need to give after completing the training?

The courses offered and the way these are structured are meant to lay a firm and solid foundation to build upon. Everybody builds their own home on a foundation. When it is a good, properly laid, will make one’s home sitting on a solid foundation.

Mr. SB has taken time, mastered the Excel, excited by its capabilities, organised it and prepared to teach his students in a simple and direct way. With an average enthusiasm to learn, one can learn from these videos and lay a firm and solid foundation to one’s career, using this excellent program called Excel.

Like air we breathe, Sunshine we enjoy, moonlight we adore, his free teachings are GOD’s gift to any body that want learn a new skill.

The organisation, time, effort and passion has to be really appreciated.

I see lot of people asking for a pat in the back ( like looking for a certificate of completion ), this is a SELF-HELP course, and I am not sure I will have as much information given to me even if I attended a PAID COURSE.

And again, since I am learning this on my own to improve MY understanding of spreadsheet program, I can understand and appreciate why some persons want to squeeze a CERTIFICATE out of this as a ticket for a future job.

Mr. Bansal, Pranam to you, as a teacher who put in all this time into these video courses and offering it for free. I bow to you for your kind heart.

Goddess Saraswathi has blessed you, may her blessings be showered upon you into the future, so we all get at least a part of those blessings.

This is the most helpful teaching website regarding excel I have come across online. Your teaching style is really passionate, your way of explanation is very clear and you obviously deserve a load of respect and appreciation. It helps me a lot in better understanding excel, and also motivates me to dive deeper into further learning.

Excellent. Explanation is brilliant.

Thanks very much for tutorials, I like to know if there is a way to make just a cell behave as a normal calculator. i.e this cell should be capable of summing figures that appears in another cell, while keeping last cumulative figure visible. This other cell will be the key-in cell or active cell. Example: Cell 1: =2*5, Answer appears in Cell 2, Cell 1: =3*6.8, Answer is added to the previous value resulting from (2*5) and still appears in cell 2. Kindly share a video if this is possible. Thank you.

Excellent Course. Really useful. Thanks!

I have searched online and came across your youtube video tutorial on how to count color using function and macro module programing in excel. I am traying to count the highlighted cell that contains a specific numbers inside of the cell highlighted in color using your code. Can you help me to verify the changes that I have to make to count and add the cell value instead of adding “TotalCount = TotalCount +1” use “TotalCount = TotalCount + “Cell value”” ? What should I change to add the values inside of the cell instead of 1? Your or anyone’s help is deeply appreciated.

Hey! in lesson4, almost at the start of the video, you select a group of cells and address them together with the help of a colon, and as you type the no. 1, it appears in every cell. when I do the same, it isn’t happening. why?

highlight the cells you want to enter the information in, type the information then press CTRL+Enter

As a beginner with Excel, I really enjoy your tutorials and it helps a lot…… thank you Mr Simit, Hope to learn more from you as I go along with more free tutorials.

Truly appreciate the time and effort you put in to this for free! Maybe add a donate button or something so people that want to can show their appreciation with moolah! I haven’t even watched one video yet just had to comment.

Today is Thursday, August 8, 2019 and I used these videos to relearn how to use excel. They were extremely helpful. Even more happy this training was free.

Thank you Summit! (From CT)

You are a miracle. Created vids, summaries for free. More than just an average youtuber. Thank you so much. Greetings from Long Beach CA

Can you please upload a video on mail merge particularly with many-to-one option.

I chanced upon this website and felt the absolute need to thank you for sharing your knowledge.

After successful completion, will you give certificate to show when required?

Thank you so much for this course it is really helping me you are such a good person to do this for us all.

Thank you Sumit for an excellent training course!

Now I have a question, not about your course, but if you coluld solve this problem I would be grateful. Do you know how to get rid of the usernaume in comments? I know I could go via Alternative/Genereral/Microsoft Office/Username etc. but that does not solve the problem. If I put a space instead of my name, or my initials, it still writes “:” in bold character and I want a empty comment when I start writing in it.

I think it must be solved by VBA code? And I don’t know how to write it, so if you know, and if you can help me, I would appreciate that.

I think it is very annoying that I have to delete my name (or initials) in everey new comment I make. Must be a way to get around it?

Kind regards, Leif Norinder

Dear Sumit Bansal, I am really appreciate you concern to teach people without any interest. that is a really surprised me in this current mindset of the people. again thank you for your kindness.

This is so helpful- thank you so much!

Hello Sumit, I like how you have divided the course into different modules and videos. I have done accounting and finance in the past so I feel this is really needed for my growth and career. If I complete all these videos and practice, will I be able to operate basic to intermediate excel ?

Hello Shriya.. Glad you found the course useful. Yes, you would be able to handle basic to intermediate tasks in Excel after watching the videos and going through the practice files.

Thank you Sumit. Also wanted to ask you, I use Macbook so there are few things which are different in Excel in Macbook. If possible can you upload a video where you mention those few differences. For eg. I can’t find a dialogue box in Excel on Mac. Can you help me with that.

Thank you for the great help.

Wonderful! Thank you!

Sounds good to me!!

I want and NEED a good part-time office job but don’t have the computer skills that many jobs require and have liked working with numbers in the past.

Hello Lisa.. Good working knowledge of Excel should definitely help you get a job

You are a fantastic man to offer your services to educate those that need to learn about excel …. for free. How refreshing it is to hear you speak (not too fast, nor too slow) in a manner that is clear and understanding. Thank you most kindly.

Hello Mr. Sumit,

I am unable to find “Developer tab” and “Customizing Ribbon and QAT” options in Excel 2007 . Kindly help me how can I access these options ?

Have a look at this – https://trumpexcel.com/excel-developer-tab/

Sorry, unable to find the ‘customize the ribbon’ toolbar in 2007 excel. I guess I need to upgrade excel with 2013 version.

Is this a certification course ? If not, then what should we do to get a certificate for our learnings ?

Hello Dhiraj.. This is a free course so no certificate is issued for completing it

Will I receive a certificate of completion for this training?

Hello Terri.. This is a free course so no certificate is issued for completing it

I created some data in Sheet 1, Cell A1 (in Excel 2016), and I linked these contents of Sheet 1 to Sheet 2, Cell A1. I created a link to enable the contents of Sheet 1 (Cell A1) to appear automatically in Sheet 2 so that whenever I change the contents of Sheet 1, the same automatically changes in Sheet 2. To quickly go back to Sheet 1 (where the original data is contained), I used DOUBLE-CLICK method and, as expected, Excel immediately moved back to Sheet 1, Cell A1.

However, when I use my laptop at home (also Excel 2016) and try to DOUBLE-CLICK when I am in Sheet 2 in order to quickly go back to Sheet 1, Cell A1, instead of linking me to Sheet 1, the cursor is just blinking in Sheet 2.

Question: How do I change the settings of my laptop at home to enable me jump from Sheet 2 to Sheet 1 upon double-clicking the link in Sheet 2, Cell A1, to enable me to go to the actual location of my data in Sheet 1? Thank you.

Hi Sir! Thank you for this three tutorial. Unfortunately, I don’t see any video to watch. What should I do?

When you click on the gray bars on the page above, you will get the video that you can watch. Are you not getting any videos when you click on the gray bar?

No, I don’t see any videos. Just a list of what we will learn in the section.

Can you please try now? Also, refresh the page (hold the control key and then hit the F5 key). This should fix the issue

That’s perfect! Thank You Sumit.

Click on the link and then scroll down slowly, so you do not pass it up, until you see the box with the video area….

no. not getting any videos

Sumit You are truly an MVP. Your videos and instructions are fantastic, they are easy to understand, not cumbersome or a burden to watch and your instruction is simple and precise. I have used Excel for a very long time but each time I need an answer you are my go to search and instructor and it goes without saying I always find what I am looking for. Are you as good in other aspects of the MS Suite or Master of one? Let me know. Thanks for your support. Paramveer Sidhu

Thank you so much for the kind word Paramveer 🙂 I only focus on MS Excel. While I use most of MS apps, I am not as deep into it as I am in Excel.

Are you on linkedin?

Wonderful learning tool for work experience

Hi Sumit Bansal,

I don’t find any video link in this page…

Video links?

Hi, the links to your videos disappear. Could you please fix it?

Where are the links to start the course – videos??

Click on the link and then scroll down slowly, so you do not pass it up, until you see the box with the video area….

Bro where is the link to videos????

Your website provides excellent insight in Excel which is very useful for every type of end user.

I am struggling with an issue, I am unable to resolve myself and I hope you can give me right direction: In my first worksheet “dataentry” I have a column A and B, where column A is a dropdown list with numbers and column B is a dependent dropdown list related to column A. On my second worksheet “datalists” I created the value lists related to column A and B. The problem lies in the fact that on the “datalist” worksheet Column A defines the value list which should be displayed when selecting the value for Column A on the “dataentry” but that I want to see the full description from Column B from the “datalist” sheet in my dropdown list. Similarly, on the “datalist” worksheet Column C defines the value list which should be displayed when selecting the value for Column B on the “dataentry” but that I want to see the full description from Column D from the “datalist” sheet in my dropdown list.

I hope I made my problem clear and really hope you are able to help me out here.

Thanks in advance!

really helpful pls post some course on advance excel such as vlookup & hlookup, data validation

Do they give a certificate on completion of course too?

I enjoy your courses, you make learning Excel easy !!

Need your support on power query. I have gone through the video of merging multiple workbooks into one workbook. That was an interesting feature. However need to know one thing. In case we have two worksheets on three workbooks with similar names, is it possible to merge into one having the end result as a combined workbook with two worksheets

Thank you Sumit. Your sessions are awesome and its a great learning for all of us

Aha! My adblocker was preventing the videos from appearing. When I turned it off, the videos appeared. Thank you.

Basic tasks in Excel

Excel is an incredibly powerful tool for getting meaning out of vast amounts of data. But it also works really well for simple calculations and tracking almost any kind of information. The key for unlocking all that potential is the grid of cells. Cells can contain numbers, text, or formulas. You put data in your cells and group them in rows and columns. That allows you to add up your data, sort and filter it, put it in tables, and build great-looking charts. Let’s go through the basic steps to get you started.

Create a new workbook

Excel documents are called workbooks. Each workbook has sheets, typically called spreadsheets. You can add as many sheets as you want to a workbook, or you can create new workbooks to keep your data separate.

Click File , and then click New .

Under New , click the Blank workbook .

Enter your data

Click an empty cell.

For example, cell A1 on a new sheet. Cells are referenced by their location in the row and column on the sheet, so cell A1 is in the first row of column A.

Type text or a number in the cell.

Press Enter or Tab to move to the next cell.

Apply cell borders

Select the cell or range of cells that you want to add a border to.

On the Home tab, in the Font group, click the arrow next to Borders, and then click the border style that you want.

For more information, see Apply or remove cell borders on a worksheet  .

Apply cell shading

Select the cell or range of cells that you want to apply cell shading to.

For more information about how to apply formatting to a worksheet, see Format a worksheet .

Use AutoSum to add your data

When you’ve entered numbers in your sheet, you might want to add them up. A fast way to do that is by using AutoSum.

Select the cell to the right or below the numbers you want to add.

Click the Home tab, and then click AutoSum in the Editing group.

AutoSum adds up the numbers and shows the result in the cell you selected.

For more information, see Use AutoSum to sum numbers

Create a simple formula

Adding numbers is just one of the things you can do, but Excel can do other math as well. Try some simple formulas to add, subtract, multiply, or divide your numbers.

Pick a cell, and then type an equal sign (=).

That tells Excel that this cell will contain a formula.

Type a combination of numbers and calculation operators, like the plus sign (+) for addition, the minus sign (-) for subtraction, the asterisk (*) for multiplication, or the forward slash (/) for division.

For example, enter =2+4 , =4-2 , =2*4 , or =4/2 .

Press Enter.

This runs the calculation.

You can also press Ctrl+Enter if you want the cursor to stay on the active cell.

For more information, see Create a simple formula .

Apply a number format

To distinguish between different types of numbers, add a format, like currency, percentages, or dates.

Select the cells that have numbers you want to format.

Click the Home tab, and then click the arrow in the General box.

Pick a number format.

If you don’t see the number format you’re looking for, click More Number Formats . For more information, see Available number formats .

Put your data in a table

A simple way to access Excel’s power is to put your data in a table. That lets you quickly filter or sort your data.

Select your data by clicking the first cell and dragging to the last cell in your data.

To use the keyboard, hold down Shift while you press the arrow keys to select your data.

Click Tables , move your cursor to the Table button to preview your data, and then click the Table button.

To filter the data, clear the Select All check box, and then select the data you want to show in your table.

To sort the data, click Sort A to Z or Sort Z to A .

For more information, see Create or delete an Excel table

Show totals for your numbers using Quick Analysis

The Quick Analysis tool (Excel 2016) let you total your numbers quickly. Whether it’s a sum, average, or count you want, Excel shows the calculation results right below or next to your numbers.

Select the cells that contain numbers you want to add or count.

Click Totals , move your cursor across the buttons to see the calculation results for your data, and then click the button to apply the totals.

Add meaning to your data using Quick Analysis

Conditional formatting or sparklines can highlight your most important data or show data trends. Use the Quick Analysis tool (Excel 2016) for a Live Preview to try it out.

Select the data you want to examine more closely.

Explore the options on the Formatting and Sparklines tabs to see how they affect your data.

For example, pick a color scale in the Formatting gallery to differentiate high, medium, and low temperatures.

When you like what you see, click that option.

Learn more about how to analyze trends in data using sparklines .

Show your data in a chart using Quick Analysis

The Quick Analysis tool (Excel 2016) recommends the right chart for your data and gives you a visual presentation in just a few clicks.

Select the cells that contain the data you want to show in a chart.

Click the Charts tab, move across the recommended charts to see which one looks best for your data, and then click the one that you want.

Note:  Excel shows different charts in this gallery, depending on what’s recommended for your data.

Learn about other ways to create a chart .

Sort your data

To quickly sort your data

Select a range of data, such as A1:L5 (multiple rows and columns) or C1:C80 (a single column). The range can include titles that you created to identify columns or rows.

Select a single cell in the column on which you want to sort.

To sort by specific criteria

Select a single cell anywhere in the range that you want to sort.

On the Data tab, in the Sort & Filter group, choose Sort .

The Sort dialog box appears.

In the Sort by list, select the first column on which you want to sort.

In the Sort On list, select either Values , Cell Color , Font Color , or Cell Icon .

In the Order list, select the order that you want to apply to the sort operation — alphabetically or numerically ascending or descending (that is, A to Z or Z to A for text or lower to higher or higher to lower for numbers).

For more information about how to sort data, see Sort data in a range or table  .

Filter your data

Select the data that you want to filter.

On the Data tab, in the Sort & Filter group, click Filter .

To select by values, in the list, clear the (Select All) check box. This removes the check marks from all the check boxes. Then, select only the values you want to see, and click OK to see the results.

For more information about how to filter data, see Filter data in a range or table .

Save your work

Click the Save button on the Quick Access Toolbar , or press Ctrl+S.

If you’ve saved your work before, you’re done.

If this is the first time you've save this file:

Under Save As , pick where to save your workbook, and then browse to a folder.

In the File name box, enter a name for your workbook.

Click Save .

Print your work

Click File , and then click Print , or press Ctrl+P.

Preview the pages by clicking the Next Page and Previous Page arrows.

The preview window displays the pages in black and white or in color, depending on your printer settings.

If you don’t like how your pages will be printed, you can change page margins or add page breaks .

Click Print .

Activate and use an add-in

On the File tab, choose Options , and then choose the Add-Ins category.

Near the bottom of the Excel Options dialog box, make sure that Excel Add-ins is selected in the Manage box, and then click Go .

In the Add-Ins dialog box, select the check boxes the add-ins that you want to use, and then click OK .

If Excel displays a message that states it can't run this add-in and prompts you to install it, click Yes to install the add-ins.

For more information about how to use add-ins, see Add or remove add-ins .

Find and apply a template

Excel allows you to apply built-in templates, to apply your own custom templates, and to search from a variety of templates on Office.com. Office.com provides a wide selection of popular Excel templates, including budgets.

For more information about how to find and apply templates, see Download free, pre-built templates .

Excel Exercises helps regular people learn Excel as quickly as possible.

Our bite-sized, interactive lessons make excel skills easy to learn and remember..

"I finished up all the lessons, they really helped me understand Excel logic better. Can't wait for more!"

"i stumbled across your website with excel exercises, and it's seriously an amazing resource [...] i seriously believe your platform proves to be one of the most efficient ways to learn excel", "when i first started the practice exercises at your site i just found it really acclerated my comprehension of excel. i started to understand it so much better than any other prior learning platform that i had visited.", a better way to learn excel skills.

Welcome to the fun, hands-on way to learn Excel! My name is Jake and I'm known as a spreadsheet wizard around my office, but it wasn't a fast or easy process to get here. I watched several hours worth of Excel training videos, but found I didn't really master a formula until I actually got my hands dirty and used the formula at work. It took me a few years of working in finance and consulting- using Excel nearly every day- to internalize all the keyboard shortcuts and functions. I started wondering why there wasn't an easier and faster way to master Excel.

Like I mentioned before, I spent hours watching Excel training videos, but they were honestly kind of boring. I'd find myself zoning out and would need to rewind and re-watch each video two or three times. And without immediately putting the techniques from the videos into practice, I'd forget the techniques right after watching the video.

Excel Practice For Real People

Practice Excel the right way - in small, bite-sized, engaging lessons, rather than falling asleep reading a lengthy article or daydreaming through a long video. This is Excel practice for those who learn by doing, not by watching. There's a reason thousands of people are choosing to get their Excel practice from Excel Exercises: because it works. Each lesson is designed to keep you engaged and entertained while walking you through new concepts, so that you can't advance if you're not absorbing the information. That's just one of the ways Excel Exercises helps you learn more efficiently and maximize your practice time.

Excel Exercises Solves the "Boring Video" Problem

We walk you through all the Excel functions that you need to know, forcing you to type through practice exercises to get hands-on and commit them to memory.

Through hands-on repetition and smart skills targeting, I've distilled all the skills I've learned from years of working with Excel to a program that can be completed in a matter of days.

Have Fun While You Learn With Excel Exercises

These practice exercises aren't just engaging; they are actually fun. Score points by answering questions correctly and advance through the levels as you learn, rather than relying on boring memorization. You'll start by practicing some easy skills and work your way up to practicing more advanced techniques. By gradually introducing new concepts for you to practice, we make it easy to learn all the techniques you need to become an Excel master. Whether you're searching for easy Excel practice exercises or more advanced formula practice, Excel Exercises offers a fun learning experience for all skill levels - it doesn't even feel like learning!

Use Excel Exercises to Excel-erate Your Career

Almost any job in Finance, Accounting, Data Science, Consulting, or any other quantitative industry will require you to use spreadsheets.

Whether you're applying for an internship or you're already an executive, Excel mastery is a tangible and noticeable skill that can help you get the offer, earn more money, and make yourself indispensable.

Today's job market demands strong spreadsheet skills like never before.

We walk you through new skills and let you write the actual formulas and tap out the keyboard shortcuts to build muscle memory and learn by doing.

The Complete Guide to Excel for Beginners (and Experts)

Table of Contents

Excel is one of the most versatile and powerful tools for managing, analyzing, and visualizing data. With over 1 billion users worldwide, Excel dominates the spreadsheet market across businesses, academic institutions, and government agencies according to data from Microsoft.*

Why Excel Remains Mission-Critical

Before jumping into Excel‘s wide-ranging functionality, it’s important to understand why it is so essential for anyone and everyone to learn.

Business Usage Remains Massive

Per Microsoft’s estimates, 80% of mid-size and enterprise businesses rely on Excel for critical operations. That includes over 90% of businesses in asset management, banking, and consumer goods.*

Further supporting ongoing massive usage, 88% of current Excel users plan to use the software the same amount or more according to Kynetec’s global end-user survey.* Excel simply delivers irreplaceable value.

Critical Across Roles and Departments

From HR to R&D departments, Excel serves as the analytics engine behind critical workflows, reporting, and decisions. Excel’s flexibility supports mission-critical use cases:

Marketing : campaign tracking, lead analysis, SEM and social media reporting

Sales : pipeline and forecast modeling, account planning, sales performance analysis

Finance : budgeting, expense reporting, financial reporting, AP/AR management

HR : headcount planning, learning management, compensation analysis

Supply Chain & Manufacturing : demand planning, inventory optimization, freight costing

No matter your department or role, mastering Excel expands what‘s possible. Employees who unlock Excel‘s capabilities have a perpetual advantage over peers who don‘t invest time to develop their skills.

Industry surveys repeatedly rank Excel as the most essential software across jobs. Burning Glass labor market data confirms advanced Excel skills especially open doors to data analyst, finance, and operations roles.

AI-Augmentation Will Further Excel‘s Capabilities

Employing artificial intelligence (AI), platforms like Anthropic and Arthur are working to expand Excel functionality. Users describe Excel processes in plain language and AI agents handle complex implementation.

Anthropic’s Claude Excel assistant platform converses with users then writes formulas, builds charts, sets up imports/exports and handles other tedious tasks. Early data shows Claude reducing Excel workloads by nearly 90% across financial services, life sciences, and manufacturing users.

The combination of Excel’s flexibility and strength of contemporary AI will only increase adoption and usage levels. Already, 47% of current Excel users want AI-augmentation directly in Excel to eliminate grunt work.

The next generation of Excel promises to automate manual processes at scale so humans can focus where we add greatest value: higher-level analysis and strategy decisions enabled by automated modeling and insights.

The Excel Skills Supply & Demand Imbalance

The ubiquity of Excel within essential business operations combined with the explosion of data driving digital disruption has created an extreme imbalance of demand outstripping supply of employees with advanced Excel abilities according to Burning Glass market analytics.

Labor market data reveals strong Excel capabilities now provide greater career advantage and earnings upside than narrow specialized technical skills in areas like Tableau, Alteryx or even SQL.

Beyond foundational Excel proficiency, understanding of power features like Power Query, Power Pivot, Data Modeling, DAX and VBA programming have become prerequisites for lucrative roles.

Yet only 44% of employees demonstrate more than very basic Excel competency. Of this minority, most lack capabilities beyond simple formulas, basic charts and rudimentary formatting. This robs companies and employees of game-changing analytical potential.

Organizations able to recruit Excel power users gain advantage making data-driven decisions faster and more accurately. Employees who invest in advancing Excel skills access a perpetual accelerator to stand out and elevate their contributions and opportunities.

Now is the time to close personal skill gaps. With Excel’s ongoing relevance, learning pays dividends across one’s entire career. Those who commit time to truly master Excel will be handsomely rewarded with impact, autonomy and earning power over the long-term.

Getting Started with Excel

Diving right into Excel‘s vast capabilities can feel overwhelming for beginners. By building Excel skills progressively, mastery comes quicker with less frustration.

Understanding Spreadsheets, Cells and Ranges

Conceptually, Excel organizes data into spreadsheets consisting of columns and rows forming cells . Cells can contain text, numbers, formulas and cell references. Ranges encompass multiple cells (B2:G5). Early focus should be navigating sheets quickly and accurately.

Entering and Editing Data

Typing values directly and pasting from outside sources are common data entry methods. Understanding best practices around data manipulation early on, like avoiding leaving blank cells within data tables, will pay dividends.

Top Data Entry Tips

• Use Undo liberally until skilled at delicately moving data
• Format values (dates, currency, percentages) consistently
• Adjust cell formatting on paste to match destination
• Delete blank rows/columns inside tables to avoid errors
• Order columns intuitively and label headers clearly

Performing Calculations

Creating formulas sparked my enduring love of Excel. The ability to build logic with cell references, arithmetic operators and functions unlocks game-changing analytical potential accessible to all but leveraged by too few.

Key Formulas to Memorize

• =A1+B1 → Addition
• =A1-B1 → Subtraction
• =A1*B1 → Multiplication
• =A1/B1 → Division
• =SUM(A:A) → Sums values in column A
• =AVERAGE(B1:B10) → Averages cells B1 to B10
• =IF(Logical Test, Then Value, Else Value) → Conditional logic

Learning proper use of relative and absolute references allows formulas to work across many cells. Mastering calculated columns provides massive productivity versus manual efforts.

Employing Functions

Functions are predefined formulas performing specific calculations. The most used functions include:

Math: SUM() , AVERAGE() Lookup: VLOOKUP() , INDEX() & MATCH() Logical: IF() , AND() , OR() Text: CONCAT() , LEFT() , FIND()

Functions transform manual, multi-step processes into simple, powerful formulas. They eliminate mental strain moving between arithmetic principles, syntax rules and cell references.

Invest heavily learning functions with many applications vs. niche products. Start with SUM, IF, VLOOKUP – master these completely first.

Formatting for Maximum Professionalism

Proper formatting transforms disorganized data into readable analysis ready for stakeholder reports and presentations.

Most impactful formatting techniques involve:

• Font choice, colors and styles
• Number formats (dates, currencies, percentages, decimals)
• Cell borders and background colorvariances
• Conditional formatting for visual data interpretation
• Filtering and sorting to distill meaningful information

Data visualization content like sparklines and heatmaps also improve information consumption while traditional charts and graphs effectively showcase trends.

Spend formative time learning conditional formatting in particular. The ability to visually flag outliers or band values based on logic represents an easy skill to learn with immense payoff.

Building Intermediate Capabilities

Once comfortable with foundational skills, advancing into specialized tools unlocks exponential value.

Mastering Excel Tables

Table functionality helps analyze large, structured datasets using features like dynamic sorting, filtering and naming. Tables also auto-populate chart data ranges and enable tactical calculations.

Key Table Tips

• Format source data consciously
• Name tables and table references meaningfully
• Reference table components easily

Tables fundamentally upgrade how you leverage Excel. Taking time initially to incorporate them widely has massively boosted my productivity ever since.

PivotTable & PivotChart Reporting

For flexible, fast reporting, nothing beats PivotTables with complementary PivotCharts. Together they empower interactive analysis across huge datasets including filtering, summarizing numerical data and showcasing trends.

Skilled use of PivotTables alone can replace managed reporting needs for entire departments. PivotChart integration then allows dynamic visualizations perfect for stakeholder reports and dashboards.

Learning tricks like formatting PivotTables to retain formatting after refresh and using Slicers for intuitive filtering saves ample time.

What-If Analysis

Understanding how input drivers affect downstream formulas, and in turn outputs, allows intelligent decision making. Excel’s What-If Analysis tools enable scenario modeling quickly.

Scenarios compare outcomes from multiple value sets without altering the underlying model. Goal Seek solves for required inputs to achieve desired outputs. Data Tables output comprehensive results showing how similarly tweaking inputs consistently affects results.

Combined, these tools allow rapid, iterative hypothesis testing and strategy optimization. Sales teams can optimize quota assignments, Marketing can predict lead volumes based on campaign spend and Product can assess pricing sensitivity.

The more models rely on Excel, the more critical sensitivity analysis becomes. Developing What-If Analysis skills prepares you for this reality.

Microsoft Office vs. Google Docs, Sheets, Slides: Which Is Best?

Why people aren’t buying sony xperia phones, what is zorin os linux for people who don’t want to leave windows, quick links, entering data in excel, managing spreadsheets, adding and removing columns and rows, formatting numbers, formatting fonts and cells, performing quick calculations.

If you've never spent time using Microsoft Excel, it can feel a bit overwhelming at first. We'll teach you the basic tasks you need to know to use this popular spreadsheet application.

From entering data and formatting numbers to adding cell borders and shading, knowing these essentials will ease the stress of learning to use Excel.

You have two easy ways to enter data in the cells of an Excel sheet.

Related: All the Best Microsoft Excel Keyboard Shortcuts

First, you can click the cell and type your data into it. Second, you can click the cell and type the data into the Formula Bar which is at the top of the sheet.

You can also copy data from another location and paste it in your sheet . Once you copy it, select the cell in your sheet and paste it by doing one of the following:

• Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V on Windows or Command+V on Mac.
• Click "Paste" in the Clipboard section on the Home tab.
• Right-click the cell and pick "Paste" in the shortcut menu.

For more ways to paste like multiplying numbers as you do, look at our how-to on using Paste Special in Excel .

You can add many sheets to your Excel workbook. This is handy for handling projects that require separate spreadsheets.

Related: How to Change the Color of the Worksheet Tabs in Excel

To add a sheet, click the plus sign on the far-right side of the sheet tab row. This adds a spreadsheet to the right of the active one.

Alternatively, go to the Home tab, select the Insert drop-down box in the Cells section of the ribbon, and pick "Insert Sheet." This adds a spreadsheet to the left of the active one.

When you add a sheet, it has a default name of Sheet with a number. So, you'll see Sheet1, Sheet2, and so on. To rename a sheet, double-click the current name or right-click and pick "Rename." Then, type the new name and press Enter or Return.

To rearrange sheets, select one and drag it left or right to the spot where you want it. Then, release.

To color the tab for a sheet , right-click the tab, move to Tab Color, and select a color in the pop-out menu. This is a great way to spot certain sheets at a glance or color-code them for specific tasks.

To remove a sheet , right-click and choose "Delete." If the sheet contains data, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete the sheet and the data. Select "Delete" to continue or "Cancel" to keep the sheet.

You may discover that you need an additional column or row within your data set. Or, you might decide to remove a column or row you no longer need.

Related: How to Add and Remove Columns and Rows in Microsoft Excel

Add a Column or Row

You can insert a column or row a couple of different ways.

• Right-click a column or row and choose "Insert" from the shortcut menu. 
• Select a column or row and go to the Home tab. Open the Insert drop-down box in the Cells section and pick "Insert Sheet Rows" or "Insert Sheet Columns."

Both of the above actions insert a column to the left of the selected column or a row above the selected row.

Remove a Column or Row

To remove a column or row, you can use similar actions. To select a column, click the column header which is the letter at the top. To select a row, click the row header which is the number on the left.

• Right-click the column or row and choose "Delete" from the shortcut menu. 
• Select the column or row and go to the Home tab. Open the Delete drop-down box in the Cells section and pick "Delete Sheet Rows" or "Delete Sheet Columns."

For more, look at our tutorial for inserting multiple rows in Excel .

When you enter numbers in Excel , you can format them as ordinary numbers, currencies, decimals, percentages, dates, times, and fractions. 

Related: How to Use the Accounting Number Format in Microsoft Excel

Select a cell, go to the Home tab, and use the drop-down box in the Number section of the ribbon to pick the format. As you review the list of options, you'll see examples of how the data will appear. 

Pick the format you want, and you'll see your data update.

You can also choose the style for the number format you use. Click the small arrow on the bottom right of the Number section in the ribbon.

When the Format Cells box appears, go to the Number tab and select an option on the left.

On the right, you'll see a preview of the format with options below you can adjust. For example, you can choose the number of decimal places and how you want to display negative numbers .

After you make your selections, click "OK" to apply them to the value.

Along with formatting the data within a cell, you can format the cell itself. You may want to use a specific font style, apply a cell border , or add shading to a cell.

Related: How To Add and Change Cell Borders In Excel

Select the cell you want to change and head to the Home tab. You'll see several options in the Font section of the ribbon.

Font style and size : Use the drop-down boxes at the top to change the font style or size. You can also use the buttons to the right to increase or decrease the font size.

Bold, italics, and underline : Simply select one of these buttons to apply bold, italics, or underline to the font in a cell.

Border : Use the Border drop-down box to choose the type and style for the cell border.

Fill and font colors : Select the Fill Color drop-down box to pick a color for the cell or the Font Color box to pick a color for the font.

When you work with numbers in your sheet, it's common to perform calculations. Rather than delve into creating formulas in Excel, which is a bit more advanced, you can quickly add, average, or get the minimum or maximum number in a data set.

Related: 12 Basic Excel Functions Everybody Should Know

Go to the cell where you want to add the calculation. As an example, we'll sum the cells B2 through B6, so we pick cell B7.

Head to the Home tab and select the Sum drop-down box in the Editing section of the ribbon. You'll see the basic calculations you can perform. For our example, we select "Sum."

You'll then see Excel highlight the cells it believes you want to calculate. It also shows you the function and formula it'll use. Simply press Enter or Return to accept the suggestion and get the result.

Alternatively, you can start by selecting the cells you want to calculate. Then, choose the calculation from the Sum drop-down box. 

You'll see the result of the calculation below cells in a column or to the right of cells in a row.

As an Excel beginner, these basic tasks should get you off to a great start using the application. Once you master these actions, be sure to check out our additional Excel articles for things like creating a graph , using a table , and sorting or filtering data .

1: personal finance management tool, 2: employee scheduling planner, 3: inventory management system, 4: loan calculator, 5: student grade manager, 6: fitness tracker, 7: sales trend analysis, 8: dynamic dashboard, which will you solve first.

One thing I’ve found from working with Excel spreadsheets for well over a decade , is that regardless of how much you know about Excel, there’s always more to learn .

But just acquiring more knowledge has its limits, and oftentimes the best way to learn is by doing and applying what you've learned so far.

That’s why if you want to truly master Excel, then you need to solve messy, complex, real-world problems with it .

With that in mind, here are 9 Excel project ideas that will strengthen the skills you already have, AND inspire you to add plenty of new ones to add to your Excel toolbox .

However, there’s a slight caveat. I want to make this practice as realistic as possible.

What do you mean?

Well, in the real world, you’ll usually start off with raw data from sources.

It’s then up to you to:

• Figure out what's important
• Clean it up
• And extract insights from that data to meet your goals

That's why I’m not going to give you specific steps to follow like I would in a normal tutorial . That’s easy mode.

Instead, I’m going to assign tasks for you to figure out how to implement for yourself , as if you were a Data Analyst being assigned a project, or if you were sitting for an interview.

The goal is for you to go through each recommended task and try to figure out how you would apply each of the recommendations that I give you. (Like an exam question but with less pressure).

Don’t worry, as I’ll give some hints along the way.

The basic structure will be:

• You map out the problem
• Figure out a solution
• Then try to build it in Excel on your own

This proactive approach will not only help you to test out your skills but it’ll also push you beyond your comfort zone that you actually improve your skills by working on real world projects.

So let’s dive in!...

Sidenote: If you struggle to figure out how to solve some of these problems, are not sure how the features work, or simply want to improve your Excel skills, then check out my complete Excel course .

It’s the only course you need to become an Excel and Data Analysis master. You’ll learn Excel from scratch including advanced topics like data analysis & modeling, pivot tables, and VBA. You'll build your own professional spreadsheets and charts, and have the skills to get hired as a Data Analyst in 2024! Check it out here , or watch the first videos for free . As an added bonus, not only do you get access to the course content, but you can also ask me, and other students questions in our private Discord channel .

With that out of the way, let’s dive into these Excel projects!

Are you ready to up your finance game and take control of your money?

For this Excel project, you'll design and build a personal finance management tool to help you keep track of your investments, savings, and debts.

Recommended tasks

• Setting up a budget
• Tracking your income and expenses
• Analyzing your spending patterns
• Visualize your financial data

Next, you'll dive into managing investments by:

• Keeping track of stock prices, dividends, and portfolio performance
• And, of course, you'll be able to manage your savings and track your debts so you can see exactly where your money is going

Recommended skills

This project will give you the opportunity to practice and strengthen your Excel skills by leveraging:

• and many other Excel features

But beyond just technical skills, you'll also learn some pretty important life skills - like how to create a budget, track your spending, and make informed financial decisions.

And, by managing your investments, savings, and debts in one place ( hint ), you'll have a clear picture of your financial situation and be able to make more informed decisions about your money.

Again, if you're reading this and thinking... "I still have no idea where to start" then come take my Excel Bootcamp course where I take you step-by-step to build a project just like this.

Imagine you're the manager of a company and you need to create a weekly schedule for your employees.

Your mission here then will be to develop an employee schedule planning tool that can help you easily create a schedule that takes into account each employee's availability and preferred hours.

• You'll start by gathering information on your employees' schedules, including the days and hours they're available to work
• Then, using that information, you'll create an Excel spreadsheet that generates a weekly schedule for your team
• The schedule should be flexible and allow for changes, such as time off requests or shift swaps.

The end result should be a user-friendly and efficient schedule planner that saves time and reduces manual effort.

• Organizational planning
• Conditional formatting

Looking for a practical, real-world project using Microsoft Excel? Try designing and building an inventory management spreadsheet for an ecommerce business.

There are millions of ecomm stores these days and any of them selling a physical good are likely having to manage inventory.

There are definitely tools out there that help track this for businesses but they can be expensive or might not be exactly what the business needs. Most people still rely on Excel.

So this is definitely something you could build for a business and deliver a lot of value.

The ultimate objective of this project is to:

• Track inventory levels
• Generate reports to help the business keep track of what they have in stock
• Bonus points if you can do some time-series analysis and estimate future sales volume.
• More bonus points if you set it up with alerts for when the business should replenish inventory (so they don't run out!)

You'll need to make sure the spreadsheet can update in real-time as inventory levels change, and provide an easy-to-read overview of what's going on with the business's inventory.

Building this out will give you a taste of what it's like to work on a realistic business problem. You'll learn about the different factors that go into managing inventory, like keeping track of stock levels, assessing customer demand, reordering products, and generating reports for management.

This is the kind of stuff that you'll use in your future career, no matter what industry you end up in .

So by completing this project, you'll add a valuable showpiece to your portfolio, that demonstrates to future employers that you not only know how to use Excel, but that you can apply your skills to real-world scenarios to create something useful for a business.

Another great way to challenge your Microsoft Excel skills is to build a loan calculator spreadsheet.

The idea is simple. You'll create a spreadsheet that helps calculate how much people will pay on a loan including the interest and amortization.

You'll need to think about what information you need from the user, like the loan amount, interest rate, and number of years.

Then you'll use that information to calculate the monthly payment, total interest paid, and the amortization schedule.

The end result should be a user-friendly spreadsheet that anyone can use to calculate their loan payments.

It's a great opportunity to boost your Excel skills, learn about personal finance, and develop your problem-solving abilities - all while having fun and creating a useful tool that you can actually use in real life!

Another great way to hone your Excel skills while solving a real-world problem is to build a spreadsheet that makes it easy for teachers to track and manage students' grades.

With this tool, you'll be able to input grades for each student, across different classes, and then calculate their overall GPAs. (And no, you can’t make it automatically give you an A+ - sorry!)

• To start, you'll need to set up the basic structure of the spreadsheet, including columns for the student name, class name, individual grades, and GPA
• Then you'll get to work creating formulas that will automatically calculate the overall GPA for each student. This means that every time you add a new grade for a student, their GPA will be updated automatically

In the end, you’ll have created a tool that saves teachers time and makes it easy for them to keep track of their students' grades.

All your Excel skills, from formula and function wizardry to data management, will be that much sharper as a result.

For your next Microsoft Excel project, try creating a fitness tracker spreadsheet.

(A good way to answer some of the questions to build this, is to imagine you’re creating this tool to help you set your own fitness goals).

Here are just a few ideas for features you could include in your project:

• A section to record all your workout details, including date, type of workout, duration, and any notes you want to include
• A way to calculate and track your progress, such as your total calories burned, miles ran, or weight lifted
• A section to set fitness goals and track your progress towards reaching them
• Any charts or graphs you want to include to visually represent your progress over time
• Visualization

You'll learn about many of the cool things you can do with Excel as you design this spreadsheet to meet your requirements, while also making it usable and visually appealing.

If you're looking for a way to flex those analytical muscles, how about creating a spreadsheet to analyze sales trends for a business?

This project will give you the opportunity to dive deep into sales data to find meaningful insights that can help management make informed decisions.

You'll start by collecting sales data from a business and then organizing it in a spreadsheet. But that’s just a prelude to the fun stuff... leveraging Excel’s vast feature set to:

• Analyze the data
• Identify patterns and trends, and ultimately
• Make some recommendations
• Create charts and graphs to visualize the data
• Use conditional formatting to highlight important information
• Use PivotTables to summarize and aggregate data
• And you could even play around with the Excel Data Model . (The Data Model helps when working with huge datasets. Although you don’t technically have any data to work with, running your solution through there, is good practice)

Think of this as your chance to see what it would be like to be a Data Analyst for a day !

By the end of the project, you'll have a better understanding of how sales data can be used to make a real impact on a business.

And you’ll also get to flex your problem-solving muscles as you figure out how to turn raw sales data into meaningful insights, and present those findings in a clear and compelling way.

The goal of this project is to create a dashboard that allows users to explore and interact with the data in different ways.

The end result will be a dynamic dashboard that provides valuable insights and helps users make informed decisions based on the data.

For example

The user should be able to specify a particular time period, or filter the data by any number of the attributes in the dataset. Helpful right?

Ok so some spoilers, as this is technically some more advanced features to standard Excel:

• You'll start by cleaning and transforming your data using Power Query
• Then you'll use DAX, Pivot Tables and formulas to create calculated fields and perform analysis on the data
• You'll then create charts and other visualizations that present the data in a way that makes it easy to understand

For this project, you use Excel's business intelligence tools to create a dynamic dashboard that presents data in an interactive and visually appealing way .

You'll be working with tools like:

• Pivot Tables
• Power Query, and

This project is a great opportunity for you to apply your advanced Excel skills, while also developing your business intelligence and data analysis skills .

BONUS: Create a retirement planning tool

One final project, and unlike the others on this list, this one is actually guided to help you improve your skills .

In fact, it's a new mini-course project that I just created for members of Zero To Mastery to test and improve their Excel skills.

Ideal for both intermediate and advanced users, this project combines practicality with complexity, enabling you to go beyond Excel's basic functionality to build a genuinely useful, interactive tool - a perfect way to keep those Excel muscles active and growing.

The goal of the project is for you to create a retirement planning tool using Excel, that you can use yourself and help you start planning that early retirement you've dreamed of.

The skills you hone in this project have real-world applications, enhancing your employability in roles that require data analysis, financial planning, and spreadsheet management. So get ready for a journey that combines education with excitement and practicality, as you transform a starter file into a fully-fledged Retirement Planning Tool.

You'll build charts and other visual elements that instantaneously update as you smoothly change inputs with slider controls and drop-down lists, reflecting the impact of different retirement ages on your projected retirement savings.

But as an equally important part of the project, you'll also engineer a formula-driven calculation engine that - while unseen to the end user - forms the heartbeat of the tool.

This project isn't just a learning exercise...it's a demonstration of your prowess with Excel and an asset for your portfolio.

• An intermediate to advanced knowledge of Excel

That being said, remember that this is a guided project, so you'll be able to also learn more of the intricacies and advanced methods as you go.

So there you have it - 9 practice project ideas that will help you level up your skills from spreadsheet All-Star to Excel MVP. Showing a potential employer any of these projects will definitley make you stand out as well.

• Do you have an idea which you’ll do first?
• How about the problems? Do you think you can solve them and set up the code in Excel to perform each task if you added in a dataset?

If so, then get to work and start creating these now! The best way to learn is to apply what you know in new situations and problems.
