I went to ALL the Excel Discussion Groups on the internet and asked all the Excel Gurus, MVPs etc one question…
<drumroll included for dramatic effect>
<you’re thinking of a drumroll aren’t you? :)>
What are the Best Excel Resources on the Web?
Well, as of this writing there are 86 comments. And you will see that a number of those comments are by Excel MVP’s and site owners… providing their own ideas on who should be included in this guide.
If you scroll down to the Training Section, you will see a list of tutorials as well as paid training that can help you get up to speed on most areas of Excel, from the beginner, to the VBA programmer. Regardless of the version of Excel you are using, there is a resource for you.
The BLOGS Section is PACKED with Excel MVPs and gurus. These BLOGS contain hints and advice for anyone that uses a spreadsheet. And if you are looking for tips in a more structured format, there is an entire section dedicated to Tips and Articles.
Ohh… And don’t forget the Youtube Channels and the LinkedIN Groups 🙂
There’s a TON here in this list. And a DOUBLE-TON in the comments section. So look around at our resources. Excel is KING here.
And if you have some ideas that you think we may have missed, feel free to add them in the comments section.

Thanks Richard. Question for you. I hear Data Bison mentioned a lot. Its a phenomenal looking site. Looks like the kind of site I would like to own 🙂
But is it still being updated/maintained?
The last activity I see was from 2010. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place 🙂
Regarding your site… Pivot Table Zen… I like the concept. I am combing through it now
Thanks Richard.
Rick
Hi Rick,
many thanks for listing my site here 🙂
Best Regards,
Mourad
Thanks Mourad. I like your site http://en.excel-translator.de/
I am also looking forward to your Guest Post on this site and the video interview we have scheduled. Great site you have.
Thank you for joining the community here.
Rick
Hi Rick,
thanks for excellent list of English pages of Excel. There are also sites in other languages. For example, in Czech ;).
Pavel
Thanks Pavel.
I am adding your excel page now. http://office.lasakovi.com/excel/ … I must be honest that I am handicapped by my inability to understand sites in other languages. Are there other sites in other languages that you would also recommend to my readers?
Rick
Thanks Rick,
most frequently I used English articles (sometimes German, Slovakia). In Czech are interesting page:
http://excelplus.net/
German
http://www.arstechnica.de/computer/msoffice/vbaindex.html
Pavel
Well, I am not going to be the judge here, however, let me express my personal feeling:
If you are putting together the list of websites where one can find some original ideas (by original I mean particular issue was most probably solved / solution was invented / published first time in there, although it might be rather questionable and difficult to verify who was the first in fact), then, I am sorry to say so, but Pavel’s pages do not qualify. It’s rather a compilation of many solutions originally published somewhere else. Good for someone unable to understand English, apart from that, just compilation, nothing original (although well designed and presented) and, even worse, without links to original sources. Not a big respect to intellectual property of the others, I guess.
Regards,
Alojz
Thanks Alojz.
You and Winston are highly respected in the excel arena (see Jordan G.’s comment below). I will note it as being a compilation site for the time being and ask for ongoing feedback for all sites (particularly non-english).
Thank you
Rick
Rick, thanks. See my comment I have left below what Jordan has written.
I am pleased if anyone like Jordan appreciates my willingness to help.
Hi Rick,
lock here for a nice German Excel-Site.
Armin
Thanks Armin.
I can’t read German… So I will add your site to the list and let our readers decide. It is definitely a nice looking site 🙂
Rick
As a follow up from my previous comment. (see above or below depending on how this saves 🙂 )
Someone that I respect in the German Excel community sent me a message about this site and states that the site is from Alois Eckl — author and well know Excel expert in Germany.
Alois- I don’t know if you will ever read this, but if you do… I am happy to have your site on the page.
Rick
Hi Rick
This is indeed a commendable work. Many congratulation for it. I generally blog and use this website for my excel related work.
Regards
Naveen
Thank you for placing my blog on your list. In addition, I want to direct readers to two outstanding individuals who don’t run blogs but who freely help others online in LinkedIn forums. (Indeed, both have also posted in your comments section here.) Winston Snyder and Alojz Lacko are Excel experts who have no problem providing their technical expertise and advice on LinkedIn. I would strongly urge folks to follow them and join the forums to which they contribute.
Thanks, Jordan, for kind words. Especially appreciated from one whose work I admire a lot. To be honest, I have learned a lot from Winston’s contribution, not sure my knowledge is any close to his, yet keep doing my best.
Heya Rick,
I’d like to add my blog: blog.smittypro.com
Excel MVP Zack Barresse and I have put up some helpful posts on Forms, Data Validation, VBA, etc., although I don’t get to write nearly as much as I’d like.
Regards,
Smitty
Microsoft Excel MVP (2007-2014)
Thanks Chris. Adding it now.
I certainly don’t mind having you MVPs on my page 🙂
Also sending you an email.

Hi Rick,

Hi Rick,
the German ultimate page is http://excelformeln.de

– their authors wrote 3 sold out books of far beyond beginner’s level
See 6 amusing minutes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhkiMX8zbDE (reducing a chart in 26 aspects to the MIN, even though it is in German)
Yours, Alexander

I’ve creating a brand new VBA website in 2015 and it’s already getting sizeable traffic.
http://excelmacromastery.com/Blog
My website is different to the normal VBA sites. Instead of short posts I write complete guides to topics such as Arrays, Loops , Worksheets, Collections etc.
Regards
Paul
Adding to the VBA sites now. Like the guides and it seems like you are keeping it updated.

Brad – I added your site to the BLOG section along with links to your episode and products.
Brad, and you are making it so much easier to teach Excel with the sample datasets. That was a brilliant idea!
Hey George,
Thanks for the comment. People really do seem to be liking the data sets.
Wow, this is the mother of all Excel lists! Thanks for keeping this, Rick, huge contribution to the Excel community!
Hey Rick,
I’ve spent the last decade of my career leveraging Excel to solve common business problems faced by some of the top companies in industry. I recently developed an in-depth Excel course that focuses purely on mastering the art and science of writing formulas. It’s rooted in practical application, with over 170 examples spread across 16.5 hours of content. There’s also over 120 quiz questions to test students understanding and reinforce key takeaways. By the end of this course, students will be proficient in reading and writing even the most complex formulas in Excel.

Hi Rick,
I think your list is already amazing. Since you’re updating, I share 11 websites (10 + mine) that I think would make nice additions. I didn’t include the blogs of your past guests or the suggestions made in other comments, both of which include great resources (IMHO) already.

Thanks Jorge. I have definitely added your site. I am going through the others now and am surprised at how many I missed. Thanks
Thanks for adding Power Spreadsheets Rick.
I agree that its quite difficult to keep track of so many websites. And I can imagine how time consuming it is to go through all of them in order to identify the best ones. Which is why I particularly like your list and appreciate the work you make to filter and organize them (Thanks again for that).

Awesome compilation!
Surprised when saw two Russian websites, but not http://planetaexcel.ru – the most popular site in Russian-speaking Internet zone. Both mentioned ExcelWorld.ru and ExcelTip.ru are fine sites as well.
What also can be added to the list of local Excel teaching sites:
http://www.excel-vba.ru/ – samples, addins, forum
http://vba-excel.ru/ – samples, addins, forum
http://excelvba.ru/ – tons of VBA samples, solutions, addins, development service

Hi Rick,
I have been a follower of ExcelTV from early on. Your collection of links includes most of the sites I refer to when looking to find something Excel/VBA unusual or offbeat.
I tried excelsumo.com to see what it is like but all I got was “406 Not Acceptable”.
Would you have any idea why this may be?
