Most of my Microsoft Excel training videos were recorded using Excel 2003.  If you are using Excel 2007 or Excel 2010, the fundamentals you’ll learn in the Excel 2003 videos will carry over to these newer versions. The biggest change in Excel 2007 and 2010 is the new Ribbon navigation system and I have videos about the Ribbon.   Quite simply, if you learn how to drive a car (Excel 2003), you don’t have to learn all over again when a new model (Excel 2007 | Excel 2010) is released.
