    Question Best way or resource to learn excel basics???

    Hi Excel users,

    I recently accepted a research position and data is analysed using excel. I have 6 weeks to learn the basic functions, specifically relating to health/public health research. I have a quite basic knowledge of excel, thought will need to greatly extend my knowledge. If there are any resources/tips/advice in learning the program more thoroughly in a limited time, please inform. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanking you in advance,

    Catherine

    And just out of curiosity, where would be the best place to master Excel VB scripting?

    Hi xixx,

    Obviously I have no idea of what your existing knowledge is regarding VB.
    I started with recording macros (which is VB script) and then looking at the script produced by recording a macro.
    In the videos (from the link I attached earlier), you can select Excel 2010 Expert Skills and there are references to macros and VB in Session 8 Lessons 11 to 16.
    If you are new to VB this may be a good place to start.

    Regards
