Best valuation & excel resources for financial analyst work?

Hey guys,

I am looking to prepare for financial analyst work.

Does anyone recommend a self study course on valuation with excel modelling training?
(preferably something free or easy to find on torrent sites)

The best valuation resource available is Capital IQ's Excel add-on, especially its "quick comp" function. Familiarizing yourself with this tool, if it's available to you (if you still have access to your undergrad resources), will be extremely helpful. Bloomberg also has an Excel add-on that's okay. Look into them and check youtube videos.
