About the Course

"Everyday Excel, Part 1" is aimed at learners who are seeking to learn Excel from the ground up. No experience with Excel is necessary. While this course is meant for beginners of Excel, advanced users will undoubtedly pick up new skills and tools. This course is the first part of a three-part series and Specialization that focuses on teaching introductory through very advanced techniques and tools in Excel. In this course (Part 1), you will: 1) learn how to effectively navigate around the Excel environment; 2) edit and format Excel worksheets; 3) implement basic to advanced Excel functions (including financial, logical, and text functions); 4) learn how to manage data sets (filter, remove duplicates, consolidate data, sort data, and validate data); and 5) learn how to effectively visualize data through scatterplots, column charts, and pie charts. New to Excel? That is entirely fine! This course is meant to be fun, thought-provoking, and appeal to a wide audience. No prior knowledge in programming nor advanced math skills are necessary. The course is organized into 5 Weeks (modules). To pass each module, you'll need to pass a mastery quiz and complete a problem solving assignment. This course is unique in that the weekly assignments are completed in-application (i.e., on your own computer in Excel), providing you with valuable hands-on training....

That was extremely helpful, I liked it so much, I liked everything about it from the breaking down of new subjects, literally someone with zero experience in excel can understand and use these things

Pros: Good content, very useful Highlighted cells during the actual course was a plus Instructor voice was NOT boring Meaningful examples and exercises Cons: The course title is incorrect. It is not EverydayExcel Part 1, but rather Advanced Excel Part 1!! The weekly files did not include all of the excel files used in the screencasts. It might have been better to have one workbook for each week rather than tens of Excel files. It took a long time to close one, open another, and then return to the first one after only a few minutes! There are too many screencasts, while some could be combined into one. When trying to find the appropriate content for review, the title of the screencast was not helpful. Perhaps a few function names in the title would have been useful and would have made the search easier. There was no summary slide available as a pdf at the end of each section or week, nor was there any  summary slides of the functions covered. The pace is too quick for this level of course. Not suitable for beginners. The exercises were much more difficult than the actual class examples. In fact, other appropriate usage of the same functions were not taught in class at all, but it was needed to solve the assignments. No appropriate hint in assignments toward the end of the course. There were some in week 1 and 2 I believe. The quiz pictures were difficult to follow; there was no way to see the question and check a, b, c, d answers. Scrolling up and down was both time consuming and perplexing. Tables in the quizzes could not be copied and pasted into a spreadsheet to aid in calculations. I had to manually copy! If it wasn't supposed to be that way, the answers would have been too difficult to obtain with just a pen and paper. The incorrect answer and the rest of the choices given in the question were not included in the quiz answer/review pages, so the reader could see the full questions and answers. I had to switch back and forth between the feedback page and answers review page.

I knew excel coming into this course. This is not a beginner course. This is not for business people. If you already know excel and are a math, science or engineering person, this might be a good fit for you.

I would recommend trying another Excel course if you are a beginner / mew to excel or just want to use it for business purposes.

Generally a good course unless you have a problem with an assignment and ask for help. I had trouble with a few assignments but even after asking for help from the teacher, coursera itself or the discussion group I NEVER received a reply. If you don't have anyone around you who has a knowledge of Excel you're basically screwed.

There were a few problems for me in submitting the assignment, and I even tried to contact the concerned person, but my query was not solved, and I have to drop the course.

What an awful classes. There is not interaction to learn here or examples files that are good to train. There was a big disappointment for me from this course compare to the "Excel skill for Business Specializations" . Also, in the assignment test he gave if you don't get the correct answer you cannot move to the next one? How fair is that? I got stuck for one hour and then get frustrate it. So I am just not going to take these courses at all at this point. I prefer going back to Excel Skill for business and going thru the whole classes to reinforce what I have learn since is obvious this course "Everyday Excel" is not helping me but instead making me frustrate.

I am somewhat familiar with Excel, but this class is WAY beyond what I know. You need a math background and an Excel background to take this course. The instructor is quick to teach and forgets that some of us are new to formulas and functions. I can only write so fast and there are no real handouts to print out or guides to go by. This is not the course I thought it would be. If this is everyday Excel, then I am clearly below a beginner. We were only on week 3 of the first class and he was teaching things that should be in the second part. I can only imagine what will be in those, but I will not be there to to find out. I have never been so frustrated.

Moves too quickly through examples and you have no reference except to search back through the many videos in each week to try to find the help you need to remember how to do something for the assignments. If you cannot successfully complete an end of week assignment, you are stuck until you can find help from googling or some other website. I cannot get past week 4, so I am withdrawing and looking for instruction elsewhere.

This course was extremely confusing. The instructor was talking like you really understood or knew Excel. Pace extremely fast and lack of examples to rely apply to quizzes and assignments . I was able to read all discussion forums for the class and the frustration was real for many people, trying to resolves the tests for days.

The purpose of free online MOOC's is to learn the material for free, not being allowed to participate in the entire class curriculum simply because the student can't afford the 49$ for a certificate seems foolish.

This course skips important material if you only audit it. It says it is for beginners but the instructor does a very poor job of building off of each skill he addresses. There are better videos on YouTube.

The instructor is non-existant. The forums are useless. The course is interesting, but there is absolutely zero interaction from the 'instructor.' No opportunity to ask the instructor questions.

The course is not free even though the instructor says it is okay to audit for free but than locks the context of the course unless you make an upgrade for a certificate. I found it deceptive.

Too fucking hard!! never got past quiz 1 within 0.4 of a point. Those questions do not reflect how excel is used on a day-to-day basis - they are more like brainteasers.

As the teacher of this course would say, the course is EXCELent! This is not my first course on Coursera, but definitely the BEST one so far! Someone mentioned that course requires some additional knowledge and I can say confidently that tips from tutor are enough to understand what is asked from you if you will read everything carefully. Also someone found it fast pasting (including explanations of teacher), but this made me like this course even more, because if you need time, you always able to pause/replay the video (that the greatness of online courses after all, noone hurrys up you), and you don't have to listen some information once and once again if you get it by the first time. The greatest part of this course is practice, lots of it. And it is interesting at the same time, because you see as example where you can later implement your gained knowledge. Plus, teacher explain difference of Excel versions and not "just advertise Excel 365" but doing quite oposite - he shows the way to solve a problem for EVERY versions of Excel (if possible) and you don't have to suffer by searching in the internet why something doesn't work in your version. Amazing! Big thanks to the creator of the course!!! It is an example for everyone how course should be created. Definetily recommend it to everyone (at least give it a try) and can't wait to start the next part!!!
