They probably shouldn't have been hired if they have no clue how to operate a simple spreadsheet like Excel. But they can always go to their local community college or Barner and Noble and pick up a book that will help.

As an employer, there are many training organisations that run one or two day courses on all the popular Office applications. There are beginner, intermediate and advanced courses. For data entry operators, the beginner and intermediate would be suitable; the advanced course deals more with writing formulas and programming.

That's a training issue. If this person works for you and if a requirement of the position is knowledge of Excel, then train them. If Excel was a requirement and if the person stated that s/he had that experience during the interview process, then I'd question their integrity.
Good luck!

Lots of places offer basic training for MS Office or parts of it - like Excel. The cost is usually not too much either.
If the employee is reliable and willing to learn, send him/her to a 2-day course. You might end up with a more motivated loyal employee for it.

What a person that does not know how to use it. Then you train them up. Start them on something simple like data entry, then as they get familular with where to find things step it up a bit. When you feel they are getting better, put them on a course to teach them the rest

Do you mean an employee??
Why were they hired? Was this a qualification that they were suppose to possess? Where they aware of this?
If it is a new application introduced, I think the company should provide training. Not expect someone to know it.

this is many years provided that I very last did any code-writing for Excel, yet you are able to in all probability write both a small macro software, or a extra effectual & versatile VBA software. i don't understand the talents of those for the present version, yet in case you seem for a tutorial web site you are able to likely study sufficient to finish that.

depends. what did you hire the personnel for? if his/her job description doesn't really states that having proficient skills in excel is a requirement, then you can't really do anything but to ask him/her to study the subject because it will be needed in the future.
