I find it crucial for aspiring excel experts to know fully well the ribbons as these are the key to having better productivity in Excel.
Here is an overview of the most commonly useful ribbons available for excel.
Written instructions/guides for navigating ribbons usually goes like this:
Tab -> Group -> Ribbon button

Pro Tip: If you want to hide these ribbons to show more vertical space on your spreadsheet, you can click the Collapse Ribbon button or you can simply use the shortcut ctrl F1.
