If you can understand how to do vlookups, sumif(s), index and match - the rest is just gravy.

Somehow, I have had to use Excel in my life much more than I ever thought I would when I was learning it in high school.

HS?  This is what I had to learn about in HS - 

Didn't learn Excel until employer #4 dropped Lotus 1-2-3 in favor of MS Office (circa 1995).

Damn I didn't even know it was that old. I learned it on Windows XP.

Came out in '87 according to Wikipedia.  I had just started learning Lotus & all my peers knew it for years.  The company switched to Excel, leveling the field for me & I eventually became the expert that everyone started coming to.  One of the luckiest breaks I ever got.

I first learned it on Office 95, which I believe was the very last version that if you wanted to use any formula, you had to click into a cell, type the equals sign, and write the formula yourself.

One cannot simply be taught to excel.
