They are all pretty much the same. Wall Street Prep is fine, and so is CFI. I'd supplement whatever course you take with youtube videos. I'd also just rep. modeling as much as possible. Reps are the best way to get you quicker in excel, and the concepts behind what you are doing will become clearer.
Same boat, personally I’m just doing the asimplemodel training for excel and making models for relatively simple companies then checking with upperclassmen/FT friends and then doing some PowerPoint stuff too. I genuine have never used this shit before so it’s helpful getting the foundational learning early
there's modelling and there's excel. Excel anything you can google up fairly easily, most interns / analysts figure out the shortcuts themselves. It's a very patient senior analyst / associate who will teach you any functions in the MSFT office universe.
There are free modelling exercises floating around, but the question is do you really understand how the balance sheet and cashflow statement works. It's not excel related, excel is just a tool.
