Right, my Father is trying to use Excel.

He's somehow bodged together a complex spreadsheet. I can't figure out how.

Quick glance at it and one of many (multiline) IF statement seemed to be multiplying (!) boolean values in the condition side without the required amount of brackets in order to get some output.

Quite frankly it's far far far too convulted for me to even comtemplate sitting down and trying to fix anything despite knowing my way around Excel.

So, as he's bodging as he goes and keeps refusing my requests that he goes on a beginners Excel course at my local college, I'm going to have to at least give him some sort of material to learn from.

Do any of you guys have recommendations for books or online resources which I can let him loose on before I bite the bullet and buy "Excell for Dummies"?

As daft as it sounds, that didn't actually show up on a google for "Excel tutorials".

Press F1 a lot. It's suprisingly good compared to the usual MS rubbish.
