What is SheetTutor?
SheetTutor is a place to practise Excel formulas. You pick a small everyday task, see how the formula works, then try it yourself in a worksheet that calculates in your browser.
It describes itself as an independent learning resource that is not affiliated with Microsoft.
How does the practice work?
Each task shows the formula first, then walks through it in visual steps. When you are ready you switch to a “Your turn” worksheet and enter your own formula.
- The worksheet calculates supported formulas in your browser
- Your result is checked against an independent calculation on several datasets
- A different formula that gives the right answer can still pass
What can I learn?
The task library covers everyday jobs such as finding duplicates, summing with several conditions, lookups, cleaning imported text, dates and reporting.
- Tasks are grouped by topic and marked Starter or Growing, with a time estimate
- Function pages, formula examples and guides sit alongside the tasks
- Practice workbooks can be downloaded with the examples and answer sheets
What are the limits?
It is a learning worksheet, not the full Microsoft Excel application. Each task states its browser, Excel and Google Sheets verification status.
The site uses AI-assisted authoring for original examples and explanations, and runs structured checks on content and calculations. It says these checks help find errors but cannot guarantee that every explanation is correct.
Alternatives to SheetTutor
You can learn Excel formulas from reference sites, video lessons or by working in Excel itself. SheetTutor adds working worksheets with answer checks, so you can practise without a spreadsheet program or an account.
