Any other Excel nerds here? My knowledge of Excel basically makes me seem much better as my job than I really am, and I love it.

I've been known to write a VBA script or two.
The power of Excel is truly ridiculous, if you develop your knowledge and put the time in to learn ways to maximize the functions and Add-Ins you know.
I use Excel most of the day at work and I'm fairly good compared to some that I work with and utterly clueless compared to others. I know enough to get by and pick things up on a regular basis. I went through college in a time where my first introduction to Excel was through DOS. Then when Windows came along the program changed and I picked up some more. By the time I got out, the school was still using Windows 95 so I'd have to think that Excel has changed a ton since then. Most of what I know I've just picked up over the years. Probably my best skill is just looking at what someone did and figuring out how they did it and how it could benefit what I need to do. One thing that always baffles me though are the people that come up with the advanced formulas and files when they don't need to. I find so many mistakes on files that wouldn't have happened if they would have just kept it simple.
Hey maybe this thread will come in handy for me! I am an accounting major in my senior year, and for whatever reason my advisor never recommended or set me up for an excel class so I've done a lot of my calculations using a financial calculator, but I know Excel is much quicker and easier, especially once I get an accounting job. I finally got signed up for an Excel for Accounting class that started yesterday so I can familiarize myself with how to use formulas. I know the basics on how to create some tables, but other than that I'm pretty much a beginner in Excel so maybe some people in here can give me some guidance if I need it!
I use it for work so have a fair knowledge of it and have done various things including producing interactive charts with dynamic links that change depending on what has been selected
My biggest weakness with it would be the VBA side as I don't tend to write anything in code but with a bit of help from Google I can usually muddle through
I wish I knew what I was doing in Excel. I put my hours in to an excel sheet and I wish I knew how to make an easy hours sheet. Instead it takes me a while to just add in the days and dates and then hours
