Wanting to start using excel again after a long, long time!!

[John Edward Priseman]

Hi,

an anybody out there be able to advise me on the following:

1) A cheap, or if possible free, refresher course to bring me back up to speed with using excel (for problem solving).Two to three years ago I would have considered myself an advanced user but now this is a bit rusty to say the least.

2) some dummy data that I can play with, or suggest where I can find some.

3) Some questions to answer using this data.

Many thanks

JP

I suggest that the best way to get back in the saddle is to watch videos on youtube. There are dozens of channels that have excellent content, the two notable ones being

Bill Jelen's channel
https://www.youtube.com/user/bjele123/videos

and ExcelIsFun channel
https://www.youtube.com/user/ExcelIsFun/videos

All of ExcelIsFun videos have a link to sample Excel files you can download and experiment upon.

There are playlists in each that follow various themes; perhaps one of them will interest you, like this one https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrRPvpgDmw0mSJCZaqQPFj0eto4qnzkCZ
