Posted by elizabeth on Feb 1, 2011 in Featured, Internet & Technology | 0 comments

Microsoft Excel isn’t just for numbers people anymore.  You can use it for all sorts of things.  And, if you have to use Excel at work, a lot of times there is a pretty steep learning curve.  There might not be a lot of training provided on the job, and you might not have the time or the money to go take a class to get up to speed.
Luckily, there are some websites out there that are simply loaded with great tips on Microsoft Excel, and they offer their tips and tricks for free.

Excel Tip

This site contains tips, tutorials, and additional resources – all for many different versions of Excel.  The website was founded by Joseph Rubin in 2003, and his site gets over eight million hits per month.  Rubin himself is a CPA, and he learned all of his tricks in practice, which is the best way to learn, and subsequently the best way to teach.
