How to Teach Yourself Microsoft Excel Virtually

1. Browse through Excel tutorials on the official Microsoft Excel website. Choose 'Getting Started With Excel 2010' if you are a total beginning, or 'Excel Skills Builder' to augment the skills you already have.
2. Compare private databases of Excel tutorials. Examples include 'Excel-2010.com,' 'Excel 2010 Tutorials' and 'Lynda.com.' Although the accuracy of non-Microsoft materials isn't guaranteed, private websites often provide other users' personal experiences, which may help you work through difficulties better than straight instruction.
3. Enroll in a formal online Excel 2010 training course via a local community college or university. Enrolling in an online course allows you the freedom to teach yourself Excel but the resource of having a tutor or professor on hand to clear up any ambiguities for you.
