Do you know any specific forumals I should try to learn for TL? when I type basic excel on Google, so many different appear.

For a team leader? Not really unless its a team of actuaries 

Functions I use the most:
Subtotal (or sum for more basic) plus SumIfs
XLookup (or vlookup for the older version)
If
IfError

Formulas are really only one tool and I would spend at least as much time looking at PivotTables and conditional formatting 
 

Thank you

What do you do ?

I'd say I am a project manager or transaction manager (just think specialist projects involving purchases or a sale); job titles tend to be slightly grander due to the nature/scale of most the projects I deliver for clients.

I was recently interested in aspects of team leading (not so much management) and found that various colleges offer an Ofqual qualification for not a lot (I actually got it for free ultimately) - Fundamentals of Team leading Level 2.

It's only level 2 but you can build up on it and a lot of colleges offer it for nothing or next to nothing so might be worth a look at.

I've already referenced it at a recent interview and it has been taken seriously with regard to a team lead position.

For anyone working in the NHS, there is a free online course on Health Education England's ELFH website (should be on ESR too) specifically for people who have some project management experience but no qualifications in it.
