There are some pretty legit excel courses. Look into ExcelCEO. There’s a big course that’s super pricey (like 1k), but there are also free tutorials out there for vlookups, pivots, etc. The guy who teaches it is very effective and it’s well worth the investment to become an Excel wiz.

There’s also free stuff online if you’re ready to teach yourself. I have googled a lot of what I know in Excel and would say I’m intermediate/advanced at this point.
