I am quite impatient and would like to watch a tutorial on excel that takes one through the basics to advanced spreadsheet management. soes such a thing exist?  Signatureken Good luck, let me know if you find one > I am quite impatient and would like to watch a tutorial on excel that takes > one through the basics to advanced spreadsheet management. soes such a thing > exist? No one tutorial could possibly cover your needs. A multitude of tutorials might do the job. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/myoo/appset.aspx?prevurl=%2fen-us%2fdownloads% 2fresults.aspx%3fqu%3dtraining%26av%3dDCT000 Your impatience will most likely deter you from learning very much. Your "basics through advanced" learning could take years like the rest of us are experiencing.

I can assure you that excel is very complex. You will learn little from watching a tutorial. The only way to learn Excel is by doing. I can guarantee you that you will never learn Excel by watching. The Step by Step books walk you through examples. You actually do them, step by step. I suggest you buy a books on Excel. The books are available at Barnes and Noble and also Amazon.com The starter books are Excel 2003 Step by Step (ISBN: 0-7536-1518-7), $24.99 and Excel 2007 (ISBN: 0-7356-2304-X), $24.99 Both books by Curtis Frye are about 300 pages. The Step by Step books are mandatory reading for beginners in Excel. Then you should buy Microsoft Office Excel 2003 Bible (ISBN: 0-7645-3967-1), $39.99 or Microsoft Office Excel 2007 Bible (ISBN: 0-4700-4403-9), $39.99.

I wish I could just get the thing to work at all for me without my silly bypass the problem moves! Exel is not using formulas correctly in one file. I have to click on the cell and then click in the editing bar and click enter before any existing formulas work. Copying sections onto new files brings the problem to the new file too. Filling formulas does not work as just the value gets copied with no option to fill formula appearing in the list. Three different machines have the same problem with the file. The machine that the file was on originally had to have a new hard drive when sent in for repairs.

You could one or more of a couple of problems. 1. Your calculation mode is set to "manual" 2. Your numbers are not real numbers, but text numbers. I suspect 2. Format all to General then copy an empty cell. Select your "numbers" range and Edit>Paste Special(in place)>Add>OK>Esc Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP >I wish I could just get the thing to work at all for me without my silly >bypass the problem moves!

Sounds like the calculation mode is set to manual. From the menu bar, try: <Tools. <Options> <Calculation> tab, And click on "Automatic".
