Hey man, what are you telling, to learn C, we have to start from Microsoft Excel. lol. This is like to learn car you have to first learn to ride a bicycle. lol
To learn C, you can start from scratch. Just buy a book or download some tutorials online and start learning it and practicing it, thats all you require to be a C programmer.

I suggest you could start with Pascal Languange first. It is a difficult-to-learn languange, but as you finished learning with it, another programming languange will be easier to learn (I do not say that it will be easy to learn. It could be difficult, though)
Maybe you could try the MinGW Developer Studio, it's very easy to use
