How did you learn excel and do you use it a lot for work?
I'm ok myself but I'd like to improve. That just got me curious to see how you learned, by taking a class or just practicing, and do you use it a lot?
Re: How did you learn excel and do you use it a lot for work?
I use it constantly. Like MS Access, I learned it on my own. Needed to do something, googled it and found a way to do it.
If there's something specific I want to know and I can't find it, I'll ask a co-worker who I think might know. We swap learnings all the time, so it's not as one-sided.

I am mostly self-taught - but also had to take both a basic MS Office class and an advanced excel class while in college. I use it constantly for work...although not so much the advanced features with this job...previous job I definitely used some of the more advanced procedures.
Experimenting and playing around on the computer seems to be the way to go:) Thanks for sharing!
I taught myself most of Excel and have learned it a lot at jobs. In college we had to take a computer course and they taught us Microsoft Office 2007. I didn't know Access very well and was interested in learning what changes had been made to Word and Excel.
This was the book we used if you want to buy it: I loved the program and it was very easy to follow along with.

I learned the basics in college, but I am mostly self-taught. Some co-workers have also taught me several things.
Use google and youtube, there are a TON of great sites out there. Check out chandoo.org, he has a great blog (entertaining, too!) with lots of easy-to-understand Excel explanations and tips.
About 95% self-taught and I've used at every job I've ever held.
I did take a 1-day 8 hour class on advanced excel which my company paid for because they wanted me to do pivot tables and other advanced functions.
