Help! Can anyone recommend a complete Excel course from beginners?

I've started trying to teach myself Excel. I've been trying some free resources, but I think what I need is a comprehensive course from beginner upwards.

Preferably in book form, but I could also do it online. I'm on a low income so not too expensive if possible.

I'd really appreciate some personal recommendations because the selection is dazzling!

Thanks

www.howtogeek.com/714701/how-to-switch-back-to-the-classic-ribbon-in-microsoft-office/ This shows you how to get rid of the compressed ribbon (menu) and expand it.

shows you how you can customise your ribbon, so that you have all the buttons you commonly use available without having to go through layers of menus.

I'll do a training session with you if need one OP - excel is a huge part of my job, and we could go over anything you need/want to know - DM me if you want to

I'd recommend this free 'course' on YouTube, when I was getting used to using excel I would watch these videos then practice alongside.This guy has videos on almost every single aspect you can imagine from complete beginner to advance.

My DH loves indexmatch. Super loves indexmatchmatch and is now raving about XLookup. Don't we have exciting conversations in our house.

I've tried youtube tutorials, and was desperately trying to learn how to do a vlookup. I have a boss who is very good at doing this, showing off her prowess in this, but always reluctant to share her expertise (power, control). I struggled to learn, until my DS, in his final year at uni studying Economics, showed me. I've since taught lots of other people at work to do it.

www.udemy.com there are loads of excel courses on here that are quite reasonable.
