Need to get faster @ Excel problems, required, however, already, appears

andytrader

Hey guys:

I need to get faster at Excel. I'm looking for materials that will help me analyze and manipulate data in Excel much faster. Do you guys have any suggestions (i.e. books etc)

I'm pretty good at Excel already and can do most things that are required for a more analytical job; however, I've been told that I am way to slow. I've thought about getting the benninga book but at a first glance this book appears to be more about how to use excel to do finance problems. I think I could probably figure out how to use Excel to do most finance problems already.

I guess what I'm asking is how are the investment bankers / finance types so fast at making spreadsheets and models? Is there a resource that provides excel shortcuts, functions and formulas that are often used? Thanks for your time guys.
