Absolutely a clear and concise explanation of everything one needs to know to get started, and an excellent "brush-up" if you haven't used Excel for awhile.

I'm an English learner and basically knew nothing about Excel. After watching this, I now know a little bit of it and I understand everything you say without problems. How amazing is this? Your tutorial is a masterpiece.
