you can't go wrong with Walkenbach:

http://j-walk.com/ss/books/bookxl15.htm

(there's an updated version for 2002 if that's what you've got)

I second that (on J-Walk). Good books!

I think that finding a good book would be a GREAT help. Another way to learn some formulas would be to look up some of the formulas you already know in Excel and then click on the See Also link in the help file. You will be directed to other formulas that are similar and should be easier to understand. Another great way to learn formulas is to get your hands on as many spreadsheets as possible. Look at the formulas that are used and see if they make sense. Good luck!

Hi jacobjacob.

The MrExcel Message Board CD ( available at http://www.mrexcel.com/sunshop/index.php?action=item&substart=0&id=5 ) is a really great resource as well.
There are some really great interactions on Formulae (as well as any other imaginable Excel process) contained on this CD.

That's my 2 Cents!
