I second Dave Walden's recommendation to build your own sight-reduction spreadsheets to help yourself learn. However, building almanac spreadsheets was a major chore, so there I recommend to not reinvent the wheel and just use what is already available. :-)
In any case, one can always piggy-back several spreadsheets into one to streamline the procedures; for more details, see here:

Subject: [NavList] Site reduction assisted by spreadsheet?
I'm new to celestial navigation having recently purchased a Davis Mark 25 sextant and wanting very much to be able to do both a sun sight reduction and a intercept plot.
Presently, I'm experimenting with spreadsheets obtained from http://www.navigation-spreadsheets.com/ but find that it is necessary to use several spreadsheets to obtain the figures for the intercept plot. (Also, the format for entering angle readings is tedious).
It would be more efficient to use only one
spreadsheet for a sight reduction.
Can you direct me toward one such spreadsheet?
