Haha, I was going to post the same thing! If you like Joel Spolsky you might like this video where he angrily abuses everyone about how bad they are at Excel and shows you some very cool tricks:

For most of that I was getting so annoyed "JUST USE A TABLE!!!", but he got there in the end.

For those that don't know Joel Spolsky used to be a PM on Excel back in the early 90s.

I considered myself reasonably good at Excel prior to watching this. Thanks for posting this; I learned a lot!
