SUM formula in B6 that sums the values in B2 through B5. This worksheet is real. Use the formula bar just below.

Watching a formula teaches you its shape. Typing it teaches you the formula.
Your formula actually runs
Not a multiple-choice quiz. The spreadsheet engine evaluates what you typed and compares the real result.
Then it is re-tested on new numbers
Type 410 and you are told to reference the range instead. Passing means the formula works, not that the answer matched.
Twelve lessons, about six minutes each
One skill per lesson, three exercises each. You can finish one on a coffee break and actually remember it.
Twelve lessons. One skill each.
Work through them in order, or jump to the one you need before tomorrow's meeting. Every lesson ends with a worksheet you have to solve yourself.
Four steps, and you have already learned it.
Total the week's orders. Flag the late ones. Find the price you need. No abstract syntax drills.
A live worksheet with a formula bar, and the keyboard behaving the way Excel does. Hints come one at a time, never the whole answer.
The engine runs your formula. If the number is right but the formula is hard-coded, it says so.
Same task, fresh data. A formula that only works for 410 is not a formula.
value → 265 ✓
range → C2:C5 spans 4 rows ✓
rerun → 300 ✓ (data shifted)
=265 → rejected: hard-coded
=SUM(C2:C5) → rejected: wrong rows
Before you start.
The short answers. If something is still unclear, the first lesson covers it in a few minutes.
Do I need Excel installed?
No. Every exercise runs in a worksheet inside your browser, so there is nothing to install and no account to create. The references and functions behave the same way in Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice.
Can a complete beginner use this?
Yes. Lesson one is about selecting cells and reading a reference like D4, before any functions appear. You are not expected to know anything on day one.
Is it actually free?
All twelve lessons and their thirty-six exercises. No payment details, no trial countdown, and no account. Progress is stored in your browser on this device.
How is this different from a video course?
A video shows you a formula; you still have to type it somewhere to learn it. Here the typing is the lesson, and you cannot move on without solving the current step.
Which functions are covered?
References, ranges, arithmetic, absolute references, CONCAT, SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, IF, SUMIF, COUNTIF and XLOOKUP. That is a deliberate teaching subset, not the whole application.
Your next Excel skill starts with one cell.
Open lesson one and see what you can already do. About six minutes, no account.
Partnerships, schools, and honest bug reports.
