We love Excel at Snipply, and we’re not the only ones. Microsoft Excel is one of the most used software applications of all time, and the most used spreadsheet editor of all time, with over 30 million active users worldwide. It’s at the heart of many of our jobs, and while we may know enough to get by, there are always areas we can improve. A great way to do this is through video tutorials, with Youtube being a great place to start.
Let’s take a look through some of the best Youtube Excel resources you can start using today.
Motion Training
MotionTraining provides tutorials and guides for users of the entire Microsoft suite and is a great place to start your Excel journey since the beginner video is only nine minutes long, and it has visuals for you to follow along. The beginner’s course has multiple sections, which allows you to break it into pieces that are easy to digest.
If you end up really liking the content, you can own the complete set of Excel tutorials (60 tutorials in total) by going to the Download page on their site. The complete set along with practice files and some exclusive content is available as a single download file.

They have over 3,200 Excel “How To” videos from beginner to advanced, including downloadable Excel files to practice and pdf notes to summarize concepts.
