Hi Donna,

Yes, there is:

Microsoft.public.excel.newusers

Personally, I think this group will help you more:

Microsoft.public.excel.worksheet.functions

But do visit one of the many sites with useful links, like this one (just a random choice):

http://www.jkp-ads.com/Links.htm

Well, there is microsoft.public.excel.newusers.  But it does not get
much traffic, and I, for one, stopped looking there.

I think you would do well to post general questions to
microsoft.public.excel.misc.  In theory, questions specific to the use
of worksheet functions could be posted to
microsoft.public.excel.worksheet.functions.  Notice the dot between
"worksheet" and "functions", not to be confused with
*.worksheetfunctions and its misspelled cousin, both of which have
little traffic.  *.worksheet.functions gets about as much traffic as
*.misc.  If you lurk for a while, you will see that no one cares which
questions go where.

Buy a book on Excel. John Walkenbach is an excellent author.
