Re: computer lessons

what level of skill are you after?

basic cells, formulas, links, graphs etc?

More advanced stuff like pivot tables etc?

Or Macros and Visual Basic????

There is a lot of difference between these. I taught myself using a book and playing with it daily. I can and have written a load of VBA, automated data input systems etc. I would however say I am a novice against one bloke I know who is an absolute magician with the sodding thing.

its a different language when you start wanting to get into stuff like this. But if you want to learn it then you have to get with teh lingo!!

Re: computer lessons

my dad used to be head of IT at Bowland High School and has taught me everything about computers, including Microsoft Excel. I take it that's the type of programme you'd be using?
Anyway, if so, let me know. My dad is now retired and loves teaqching people new skills! Let me know, I'll ask him x
