Thank you as well.
There is so much to this and I enjoy finding out, learning, and hunting down answers doing my own thing.
Even though it frustrates in greatly, haha.
Is there any way to learn ALL of Excel, such as becoming a master at it in a year or two on your own besides the only route I can think of: Buying books, MANY hours of practice and exercises, tutors, etc.
There any useful/helpful tools, sites, or anything/anyone that anyone can recommend to help someone like me learn all about this to master it?
Probably take me a few years or decades, but I'm persistent.
Thanks to you both, greatly.
Very much appreciated.

Andy, as long as you have a way to APPLY and USE excel constantly, you will pick it up and build your foundation and grow. You cant take a class and never use the skills or practice and expect to be proficient, so being able to apply what you are learning on an ongoing basis is KEY, just my opinion.
With that being said, sure Microsoft has available documentation and there are forums like this but I have found the most valuable resource to be You Tube University. Theres a gajillion videos on use case specific needs that take you through and show you step by step how to accomplish your need.
Additionally you can pick up a lot of quick tips, tricks and shortcuts from Tik Tok! Somehow the algorithm showed me a couple Power BI and Excel posts and I followed them and soon after I started seeing all sorts of 1-2 minute videos on daily time/life saving hacks/tips/tricks!
Just keep at it and you will get there 🙂

- AndymunchinAug 11, 2023Copper ContributorI agree with you and I have been using youtube videos to help me understand.
The changing language/terms (or unspecific and confusing language from teachers) for assignments messes me up half the time.
I don't use tiktok but good to know.
Thanks for the info, always helpful and appreciated.
