Nicky is very good, but the practice assessments, quizzes, and final assessment should/could more accurately reflect the video content.

They never respond to questions. They never fix problems even years later. Excel links point to inaccessible university addresses. The videos are long and verbose and deal with many superficial and cosmetic aspects - lightweight. The PowerBI required for later sessions is unavailable with personal email address, no matter what they say. They have not arranged with Microsoft for student access to the necessary Microsoft service. The quizzes and assignments are lightweight to the extent of being trivial The PowerBI Menus are out of date, causing great frustration and time-wasting There is very little use of the important feature like DAX and M Rated very poor - two stars is much more than I want to give, I am pretty angry about this low-level course.

I love this program. It's concise and informative. I am equipped with general understanding on Excel, Power Pivot, Power Queries and Power BI. Highly recommended courses!

Great content as usual, I hope to have more and more on data analysis, visualization and more in depth material about power BI.

Thank you so much

I really enjoy this course, the whole program is great, I didn't expect to learn this much from Excel. Also, the teacher is amazing.

Great course! Absolutely recommend it. It is a must have knowledge for working with Excel. I found even just power query (get and transform) helps me tremendously in my everyday work and substitutes a lot of VLOOKUPS and INDEX & MATCHES that I had been using before. What is most important it is very easy to learn especially as it was presented in this course. PowerPivot and Power BI is an add on. I finished Excel for Bussiness specializationf from Macquarie University and I'am know finishing Excel Skills for Data Analytics and Visualization Specialization and I must say, for me, these courses were the best courses I have encountered in my online learning so far (and I did a lot of online courses).

I sincerely want to appreciate Macquire University, this is the most practical course I have had in a long while. It was hands-on all through the stages of Data Analysis. I enjoyed it, and had renewed confidence in my excel skills. I initially planned to do only the course 1 seeing I had past knowledge on the subject matter. However, I enjoyed it so much I ended up completing the three. Thank you.

This course was fantastic. I learned more about Power Bi from this than I have from several other webinars presented by Microsoft and/or their partners. Being able to work along with the videos truly helps to reinforce all of the new concepts.

It was a good experience of learning on course era which helped me a lot to improve my technical skills and also I would like to learn more courses on course era in future.

Excellent course. Well designed and presented. I can use the skills learned immediately in my new career as a Data Analyst.

Professor is great! I like this course and I would definitely enroll in advance course if there would be one.

This is an excellent course for those who would like to learn how to automate the process of retrieving, cleaning, and visualizing data using Excel. Those who are in management or are in the business/data analysis field will find this course particularly useful. The quality of the course from Macquarie, particularly from these two instructors, is the best that I have experienced.

I totally recommend this course to anyone who wants to master their Excel skills. I want to thank the instructors for developing this amazing course, now I feel more confident using Power Query, Power Pivot and Power BI which are very useful to perform complex data analysis. It really helped me be more competitive when applying for a job offer. Thank you!!!

I have taken all three courses in this specialization and also the previous specialization Excel Skills for Business. I learned a lot from these two specializations. Both are very informative. I recommended these specializations to one who is looking to start his career in data analysis and visualization.

A very well paced intermediate course for Power BI professionals. Nicky is awesome! I'd love to find more classes shared by her. All the classes are accompanied with working docs and tools. I learned a lot from this course and hopefully will make a difference at my work!

Enjoyed the course and the specialization, the instructors are the best, they facilitate the information. I've learned new skills. and the course is highly recommended. thank you

The course is very powerful and has a great content , I really enjoyed the learning .

But , there is one issue at the specialization certificate that the description of the certificate contains to many objectives that i have learned at the course not the description for the degree as whole , also the tone directed to me as a trainee , so it will be a problem when i apply for a job and the recruiter read the objectives not the describtion for the degree .

Fantastic presentation on functionalities of the Power Tools! Especially the introduction to Power BI was very helpful but needed the base on Excel and the Power Pivot basics to be understood. Fantastic, I have never seen such a didactically brilliant course on a not very easy to understand (especially DAX) matter. Thank you for making my learning such a great experience! I will keep practising using the examples provided in the course.

I am happy to share that I completed one of the best course on data analytics from one of the topmost university in the world. This course is completely filled with knowledge ,spending every moment on this course will improve your skills. Heartfully I am thanking Mentors #NickyBull ,Course material and Content Creators, Graphic Editors of #macquarieuniversity for providing one of the best course on Data Analytics

I would say this course is an excellent hands-on introduction to Excel power tools and Microsoft Power BI. The work along Excel sheets and the challenge exercises provide enough hands-on practice and confidence. I have even started applying these principles to my work. Am surely going to recommend Macquarie University's Excel courses to my peers. Thank you professors Nicky and Prashan for this initiative.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this course; excellent presentation from the instructor, with detailed explanations, a well-thought combo of reading materials, videos, and practice exercises, as well as the chance to get familiarised not just with Power Query and Power Pivot from Excel, but also with another member of this universe of data analysis tools, Power BI. Top rating from my side!

Great course to be familiar with power tools. I work with Excel, but after longer break (due to maternity leave) this was great opportunity to learn something new and be more efficient in Excel. Power BI was totally new tool for me, and I really like it. Thank you for your course. Nicky is brilliant lecturer; I like her very much. Everything was super clear when she was explaining.

The Last course was very helpful in order to do repeatitive tasks and overcome excel limitations Power query and power pivot are great tools that simplifies the work as data analysis. The course was very well bilt and presented by instructors who present and explain the subject in simple way adding the portion of Power BI was very nice, appriciated idea and great addtion

Nicky the instructor here is absolutely fantastic- she makes it "too easy!" The lectures and practice exercises, challenges, and videos are priceless. The content is dense yet laid out and explained so well that it all seems simple. Can't say more about this class's content or instructor. Thank you coursera for this Excel specialization!

I recently completed the Excel Power Tools for Data Analysis course on Coursera and it was incredibly helpful. The lessons were well-structured and easy to understand, and the practical exercises allowed me to apply what I learned. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their Excel skills for data analysis.
