What is the main thing to remember to get started in EXCEL?

Just remember that Excel is not a database, though it can do some database
functions, and it is not a word processor, though it can do some word
processing functions.

Get a good book - one by John Walkenbach would be a good choice:

if you spend more than 1/2hr bashing your head against a brick wall trying
to achieve something - it's time to check out the newsgroups

Save before you try something new. (Close without saving if you screwed up.)

Backup, backup, backup.

Try things against a test workbook.

Have a real objective.
Create a car mileage log.
Create a blood pressure log.
Monitor your weight.

Something that you really care about. If you don't have a real project, it can
get boring pretty fast.
