I've got a decent handle on how Excel works; however, I want to learn more about beyond basic Excel tasks (Macros, Pivet Tables, ect ect) so I can help make myself a better employee and more attractive management candidate. I know Microsoft has programs, but I've heard they are expensive.

I can't vouch for any of them, but there are some cheap ones on Groupon. I use the MrExcel website as a reference when I'm looking for something specific.

90% of my Excel chops come from YouTube. The other 10% is a split between friends and programmers.

I don't have any formal training or education on VBA, but I can write just enough to be dangerous.

If you understand the advanced basic features, such as formulas, conditional formatting, arrays and ranges, etc. I wouldn't suggest a formal/corporate type class.

YouTube is great, but just plain ole Google works great as well.

The key is needing a project. Start a project you want or are interested in. Something fun and interesting. For example, an automated College Football Bowl contest sheet was one I made that had a bunch of different programming and features in it. A random lunch restaurant generator based on some inputs (I.e. not Mexican or pizza, only cheap or moderate cost, and quick).

Once you have a project, you can research specific questions or things you want to do, then learn how to create and modify it to fit your purpose.

Dude, seriously you don't have to spend money to learn Excel. Honestly, you can learn a lot just by using "excel help".

Here is a list of a bunch of formulas.
