Any online Excel training recommendations?

[Dahu371]

I have about 10 staff of varying ability with Excel who I'd like to get a bit training for.
The training budget is tight so I'd like to do this inhouse and I'm thinking one of these online course packages may be good where they can jump in at the modules that they need help with.
Can anyone recommend anything? I sometimes see Groupon offers that look like they could be what I'm looking for, don't know if anyone's ever tried these?

Have you looked at Microsoft's training videos?

If they're no good my wife just took an online excel course she found on one of these voucher sites and she learnt a lot from it. I think it was on livingsocial.com

Lynda.com is pretty good...

I'd recommend just googling how to do something. There are numerous forums, blogs and videos out there that show you how to do a specific task. From experience, the main problem most people have is not knowing what they want to do with a spreadsheet.

The problem with Excel training they spend the first 30 minutes explaining how to save a file, change the font to red, delete a cell etc... Most people can work that out. I would suggest giving some training which is relevant. If they're in accounts have them produce and invoice. You can introduce lookups for addresses and have date auto complete and payment terms. They can lookup products or services some with predetermined sales values. Automate the VAT calculation. Etc if it's sales peopl maybe a quote.

Have you tried Youtube with specific keywords on fuctions you need to learn?

I'd echo the comments about searching for videos and guidance on specific functions and areas as you need it. That can be more efficient and effective for people of varying ability, rather than have everyone go through the same course for example.

If you're after an elearning course you could try the following though:

Or look out for other deals. Often you can get one training course for $1 or the whole bundle for $7 or $8

Hope that helps.

I'd agree with a few of the comments above: Just google or search for the specific things you need to do with Excel. Courses are great at basics, but its usually forgotten quite quickly if its not applied. Usually, there is a specific task-related requirement - its often the best way to learn also. I've personally found that the best way to pick up Excel and Word, especially when the requirement is quite complex and bespoke.
