After years of liberal arts study where you were encouraged to think creatively and express your wildest opinions (so long as you could support them), you entered the "real world" and had a crappy spreadsheet set out in front of you by someone who probably doesn't have your impressive academic pedigree.
That day sucks.
I aim to make that day suck less by teaching you the foundational lessons of excel that will save you time/frustration and impress your superiors who resent your perceived snootiness. Even if you don't use Excel at work, I promise that the lessons will help you create an awesome budget model for yourself, and who doesn't want to have a sweet budget?
Excel is a language that has its own unique syntax and capabilities, but unless you can understand it, you won't be able to unlock its potential. If you can understand the basic concepts and speak the language well enough that the "Help" articles are actually useful and enlightening, then I have achieved my goal and you are ready to rock.
The posts that follow will target beginners, experts, and everyone in between. Each one will be tagged with some indication as to how difficult the concepts are, and whether there are "prereqs."
Good luck and godspeed.

He definitely has CS envy. I try to out him at every opportunity.
I have noticed that Aaron Myers likes "outing" people.
