I can help you out, what exactly do you want/need to know? Why does your boss require you to know it? Are you getting read-only access to some tables and it would be more efficient to just have you create and run your own queries?

I'm just starting using it so I know nothing atm.
From what I understand there's all sorts of data stored on the server and I'm going to have to come up with queries to sort through it all. Are there basic query statements?
All these tutorials I read/watch are all the same. Monotone blah blah blah.
I don't mind doing it, just hate when I have no idea whats infront of me.

transfer it all to ms excell and sort dem cells

What do you need to learn? Is the data already in a SQL DB and you just need to learn how to query data or you need to build a database from scratch? Data modelling can get especially complicated if your raw data is complex with many models.

Do you understand basic database principles?

Might sound dumb but how about SQL For Dummies? (download link). It might help provide some background info and bridge the gap.

Otherwise there are a lot of online tutorials out there, paid and for free.

Udemy has a bunch of them. Check out their Introduction to Databases and SQL Querying (its free). They also have other free ones and if you like their style and are interested in any of the paid ones let me know as they can be sourced. I don't have any personal experience with this company (there are tons of them out there).

run a few queries on google

Dennis (HyperS2k) might be able to help too.
