Lynda.com Excel Triaining

While the last blog post was about Word, this one is all about Excel 2013. Lynda.com has a variety of training sessions for different programs.



Chapter 1 of the essential training deals with the absolute basics showing you where the different tabs are and only talking about what they do. I suggest only doing chapter 1 if you have never used or heard of Excel. Chapter 2 goes through more basics like how to copy and paste and how auto fill works. Again, if you have used Excel before for class or work, I suggest skipping this chapter as well. Chapter 3 has very slightly more advanced content like how to do if functions and averages. There is value in the last three lessons of chapter 3, but not too much you could just learn on  your own.

My overall thoughts on this tutorial are basic and long for no reason. I personally knew most of the first three chapters, but I was hoping for more advanced knowledge on it. Thanks to classes like Biology lab and Chemistry lab over the past year, my knowledge of Excel has grown. I recommend this tutorial to those who have never used or seen anyone use excel before. It would d be great for you!
