RX Modeling Prep - No Excel experience

Have a buyside distressed investing SA internship coming up. Have been reading Moyer's Distressed Debt Analysis, A Pragmatist's Guide to Lev Fin, and The Art of Distressed M&A. However, realized I have little to no Excel practice. I was wondering what course could get me up to speed as to modeling basics (can't do three statement modeling, for example) and then later move towards RX specific modeling. Thanks!

My man, you need to know how to run a debt capacity analysis as well as illustrate scenarios of various recovery waterfall analyses by creditor classes to identify what the likely fulcrum security is for strategies involving debt-for-equity conversions with a controlling interest in bankrupt companies emerging. Also know your different debt investment vehicles and modeling the distressed aspect of a company into your embedded valuation models.
