In General if you spend any more than five minutes on a repetitive task, there’s a faster way to do it. Google what you’re doing and then watch a YouTube video on how to do it faster. Do This for about five years.
Practical application of formulas and skills. You can stare off on a hundred or a thousand videos, but if you don’t actually have a need you won’t be willing to explore or perfect your formulas and skills. It’s all just theoretical.
My suggestion find a problem and then go fix it.
My go to for beginner Excel and PQ is usually getting someone to make a calendar table.
Adding the name of day and month, week ending (Sunday & Friday), month start by calendar and weekending and Financial & Fiscal Year. Then adding more columns like days in a month, weekdays in a month, etc and how that answer changes depending on how you define a month.
Then the usual putting filters on it and using a structured table so you get used to putting in good fundamentals and understanding syntax as well as nested IFS and other formulas.
You get to work with familiar data and outputs, every knows the calendar just that you've probably never had to make one from scratch and it leads into PQ/Pbi if that's something you want to exlore.
OP the way that I learned Excel was by taking a class at a local community college. It was cheap to take and it taught me so much about how to really use the program. There are features I didn't even know existed until I took the class.
