Has anyone found any good Excel tutorials?

Consider making your own pen and paper worksheets as well to get started, there are tons of excel gurus who could turn it into an easy-to use spreadsheet for you.

I take it we are talking about personal accounts here?

Sage would be over the top I expect, bit too much power and best used with bookkeeping knowledge. I use Sage primarily now for clients (accounting, and have used near dozen other packages too) but expect something more like Excel or even Quicken would be more suitable.

What are your needs? What sort of transactions, assets etc do you need to track?

With Excel there is a wealth of help online, using something like Google do a full search on what you might like to know such as 'intro finding way around excel' or 'personal income expense tracking excel'... just guessed those to give an idea, searching 'help excel' is not going to make things easy.

I have been using QuickBooks for years .. QB is pretty easy to use butI have also dabbled in MSN Money Track and that seems to be a little more user friendly if you are not familiar with accounting.

If you are not familiar with getting "borrowed software" get familiar .. it will save you a ton of money .. you can find information on any program at demonoid.com

Excel is a spreadsheet program. It could be used for some accounting processes, but that would be a lot of effort.

I don't think Mark is looking to turn Excel into a bookkeeping product.

I use excel now since the PC with Quicken in it crashed. Quicken is a whole lot easier and has a great debt reduction planner. You can also use it both for personal and small business accounting. Excel will do though it won't generate reports automatically for you and can look a bit messy. If you know how to make it look pretty (I've got a husband who does the "programming" for me) then Excel is a good choice. Otherwise Quicken is better.

No, Excel is just the tool I use to track my spending and plan for future expenses. It won't balance my checkbook or anything like that, but I don't use it for that.

how to work on Exal ple tell me and hoe to downlode the Exal software

I use Excel for my company accounts, namely because the volume of transactions isn't actually too bad. It's simple once you know how to do it, but I did take up training in office products before going into business, to ensure it would help. Now just got to remember how to set up my own database for my website records.

I use excel becaue it is very easy to use but you can also use Intuit, Quickbooks, Turbocash etc.
