I figured to learn things like that,, you would have to pay for it.. Sorry, I'm still learning at some of this,, In the past ,, most, of everything I would do a search on, you had to pay to learn,,,
I thought I would ask here first on this question, since you guys know of alot of free learning sites..
thank you Debbie.
Your friend,

Kristy - Hi! this is Penny. I was in the accounting field for over 20 years (yikes - I'm getting old!) and used many spreadsheets.
My first question is - is the spreadsheet you have and want to learn Excel or one of the others? There are some differences that can stump even experienced spreadsheet users.
Do you have your spreadsheet software installed on the computer you use most of the time? It can really help to work through techniques as you read about them.
If it's Excel, do you have the Office Assistant turned on? If you turn him off, you can find more information in the Help area than with him turned on. (You know he's turned on if you press F1 and you get an animated 'guy' who offers to help. To turn him off, click on Options at the bottom of the yellow box that comes up next to him. Uncheck the box - Use Office Assistant. Now when you press F1, you get the help 'library.' There's an area called Getting Started that's quite helpful.
Then after you've read that and you're using Excel, go ahead and turn the assistant back on (assuming you have ample RAM to run him) - he'll give you clues along the way that will help you learn. If he annoys you, you can turn him off any time. 
Another thing that can help is to work through existing spreadsheets. If you're learning for work, see if someone has existing spreadsheets that you can copy and play around with (make sure they're copies though and ask for permission - I wouldn't want to get you in trouble. If they know you want them for learning, you'll probably find someone who has spreadsheets that aren't proprietary or have confidential information that they'll be happy for you to copy and use.)
I hope this helps. If it's not Excel, but some other spreadsheet, let us know - we'll see what else we can do to get you going. Enjoy - I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. Don't hesitate to email if you have questions.
Cheers!

The above is really great advice! One thing at at time.
When I forget this, I get really frustrated and then can't focus on anything.
