Three tracks, one way of learning

Each track starts with a free level test that tells you where you are, then short lessons that fill the gaps.

Excel

Formulas that do the work

From SUM and IF to VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP and SUMIFS, solved in a real spreadsheet.

  • Lookups, conditional totals, the #N/A trap
  • Pivot tables, dates, INDEX/MATCH coming

Free: level test + lessons 1–2

SQL

Queries on a real database

SELECT to JOINs and subqueries, then designing tables yourself: keys and relationships.

  • The classic traps: LEFT JOIN + WHERE, NOT IN + NULL
  • Database design, views, triggers, window functions

Free: level test + lessons 1–4

Finance

Read a company's numbers

Apple's real 10-K in a spreadsheet: margins, EPS, P/E and P/B, plus candlestick charts.

  • Quarterly reports, valuation ratios, volume
  • Free cash flow, DCF, moving averages, RSI coming

Free: quiz + lessons 1, 2 and 7

How it works

Each lesson is a handful of small problems. You solve them the same way you would at work: in a sheet or in a SQL editor.

1

Read a 2-line task

"Find the price of a Latte." No theory dump. Just the thing you'd actually have to do on a Tuesday.

2

Write the formula or query

In a real grid or a real SQL database, with real data. Click cells to add them to your formula, like in Excel.

3

Get checked instantly

Right answer turns green. Wrong one tells you why, not just "incorrect". Hints if you're stuck.

The Excel path: zero to analyst

Lessons 1 and 2 are free, forever. Pro unlocks the rest, including every lesson as it comes out. The SQL and finance paths have their own pages.
