I am not from the younger information age, but am a business person anxious to learn how to use Excel. I have intermediate computer skills, but find most explanations to be impossible to understand. Can anyone suggest an easier way?
If you are starting Excel from scratch I recommend reading "Teach Yourself VISUALLY Excel 2007 by Nancy Muir." (also available in previous versions of Excel) This book clearly gives one concept at a time with drawings. It was extremely helpful to me because it is so straightforward. 'Best of luck, enjoy !!

Phil,
which version of Excel do you have?
Here is a very basic Excel Tutorial that explains the lingo and basic principles: http://people.usd.edu/~bwjames/tut/excel/
