My all time favourite site for Microsoft Access! But it does have quite a good Excel forum, with a couple of certified excel experts that always seem to be waiting to answer questions. Bloody great site!
Excel is a nifty program with many uses. I am not aware of any comprehensive site dedicated to Excel with a focus on general project management.
However, there are several project management systems (programs) developed specifically for Excel. Ive catalogued quite a few of them on the Project Management Software Directory.
I think that allPM.com has some Excel templates available for download for various project management related issues.
Also, most project management software offer data import / export facilities with some Excel compatibility. Most of the questions I see here at the Planning Planet regarding Excel are focused on its use in conjunction with P3. AFAIK, these questions are almost always answered by our members.
I think that adding a search function to the Planning Planet would be sufficient.

There are a few hundred great sites out there for Excel questions...
But My two favourties are:
1. http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/archives/excel-l.html#SUB
This is a list/archive type site for all questions, mainly focussing on Visual Basic behind excel and complex/difficult problems and solutions
2. http://www.utteraccess.com/forums/ubbthreads.php
