Good for beginners to intermediate, some questions jump from being easy to hard in too short of a time, such as modeling complex questions like the midterms and finals, took me a long time to figure out with much guidance. But overall, if you are a beginner, it gives quite a clear outlook on the basics of excel formulas and functions. would definitely recommend, but can be some improvements. Good for refereshing your memory after college as well. But might need to dive into more important real world formulas like xlookup, hlookup, and the pivot table etc.

It is a great course; I learned a lot. However, I need to mention some exercises and quizzes seem to lack some background and, in some occasions, we do didn't have any idea of how to solve them (including the final project which required the inclusion of many constraints and conditions which we did not see as a complete exercise before). I did not receive any feed-back from faculty during the course, so it is more like self-paced and self-solving course, taking the advantages of videos and written material which were very helpful and well explained.

Not bad! I'm a former high school math teacher. This was my first ever "business class," and while the instructor did a great job explaining everything going on in the spreadsheets, I felt a little behind in the business lingo. I had to do a lot of my own research to learn what NPV, ROI, etc. is. Which is not a problem, but it may be helpful to future learners to know they may need to get a little background knowledge on all the lingo here. Overall though, I learned a lot, and it was fun!

This is by far the most useful course I have taken on Coursera. Not a dull moment in this class. I like the application-based approach to instruction; it does not drown students in theory before jumping into the applications. Students complete this course with real, practical knowledge of business analytics using Excel. This course made me want to learn more about Management Science. I wish there were more courses like this!

A very interesting and useful course. The best part is that you have practices applicable to real situations from the first module. The professor explains very well. On the negative side, the final project stands out, as there is a solution with a higher objective than the one presented as corrected... despite the fact that in the discussion forums this doubt was raised, no one from the university learning team responded.

it's very good course in terms from beginner to good usage of business analytics in Excel , also I like that it teaches you though practical cases , the only problem is the final project quiz the two questions are not matching with each other first one you exclude some projects from approval then the second one every thing changes , anyway it's very powerful course

The quizzes were easy except for the Mid term Project and the Final Project. I think, they were purposely done and were made harder than the rest. I did complete the course in the first attempt of the final project, however, I am not happy with the final project performance and would revisit the solution provided at the end to analyze where I went wrong.

It was a great course, learned some nice skills which will come in handy at uni & later at work. Sometimes it was a bit unclear what to do, especially with the quizes, it felt as if too little information was given. However, I enjoyed finding out how to do it and to really actively engaged in it and find out myself how to do it.

I'm satisfied with this course and I recommended completely. It is an excellent course to improve skill in excel. The videos and explanations are very useful.

My feedback would be that ,after completing the final exam, the students have the possibility to access a video about how to adequately solve the final test

Un curso muy recomendable si vas a trabajar sobre Excel, si bien es cierto que los conocimientos aprendidos no se extienden a todas las posibilidades que ofrece la plataforma, profundiza de manera extensa en las metodologías de trabajo que enseñan, dando claridad a como usar dichas fórmulas/metodologías.

The overall course was good; But there were two issues. 1st - the course had very little exposer to VLOOKUP; 2nd - it didn't introduced me pivot table (It was not thought in this course). Excluding these two point the course was very good. Its an excellent choice for beginners.

The course was very interesting and allowed me to acquire new skills and and an analytical eye.

The lessons are very detailed and well explained

Only downside for me - it sometime assumed a previous knowledge of mathematics that non all students might posses.

This course provided knowledge of Excel, Finance, and setting an analytical decision-making model. It has helped me improve my decision-making skills in real business situations at the company. I appreciate Coursera for offering this beneficial course.

As a beginner in this advanced course, I'm finding all the functions new and challenging. However, the instructor's excellent teaching and valuable techniques as well as the ability to rewatch the learning VDO are making the learning process easier.

I'm working every day with Excel. Allmost all the application used in this course where new for me. I really appreciate to lear this skilly. What I dislike where the Midtherm and the final Exame. Very difficult compared to the other test/quiz.

The instructor was very easy to understand. his examples and step by step process really made following along quite easy. I did find that various formulas/solutions were not matching up to what I had and so there were some difficulties.

A lot of good information condenced, the only thing i haven't enjoyed this much was that in most of the cases the explanation of the subject came after the videos/ tasks. But i've learned a lot with this course, I really recommend it.

The explanations are clear and the test are helpful for applying the learned skills. However there are cases when there are doubts and different results received with same approach, need a channel to get these resolved

It was very helpful, but the free add-in for Solver was not available in my windows...May be I was unable to do it correctly. Nonetheless, if I there were any other free alternatives, their mention would be helpful.

Great learning insights.

However, the course focusses on few selected themes and formulas linked to decision making. Certain other aspects from business analytics can be introduced such as data analytics.

It is a really well organized course. I got to learn a lot . Will watch through it again if required . Enjoyed the practical learning which always helps in better understanding of the topic . Thanks !

Excellent, I was not able to solve the excel from what if analysis because I only have my phone to practice on so, many of the options where not available but I understood all the concepts.

Excel itself is easy, but it’s not easy to understand, for example. This is the most difficult issue that I faced. The course focuses on financial and business parts, and I am a an engineer

I found this course very interesting and enlightening. I learnt a whole lot of new things and especially with regards analyzing business thoughts that are put down as statements and words.

Amazing course to support business decisions through statistics and data validation. Includes almost all the essential skills required to run and understand a business. Loved it.
