I know nothing about excel and I am terrified

I got an offer for an S&T SA role but I know nothing about excel. I am an econ major at a non-target and all of my classes use literally any software but excel which is annoying. So my two questions are - 

1. How worried should I be with bare knowledge of excel?

2. What can I start doing now to get a little better at excel before I start my internship?
