it's amazing how the course was designed for beginner,. Modules were easy to follow and Labs were also very clear. I am very happy with the accomplishment but his is only the beginning of a new time.

Overall this was a refresher for me. I was able to reconnect with some of the Excel functions and can now apply those to my current job. The teachings and exercises I found useful and easy to follow.

The Instructions were really good. As an experienced excel user, they explained the most useful info in a fast and informative way. The Graded quizzes were bad though. Asked questions for things that got explained in the next part or asked in a way that wasn't clear what was meant precisely. It was more a pain than actual knowledge control And even the final Assignment. You had to write yes, got the pasting warning the whole time and then couldn't even submit it twice because the answer was not long enough.. Additionally the peer review solution showed a screenshot that couldn't exist, because the prompt afterwards changed it. In Addition to giving info that changed later as well (deleting rows + deleting duplicates later)

Super basic. You could probably learn more by watching a couple of videos on YouTube. All the videos in this course are using Excel Desktop, but then for the labs it wants you to use Excel Online since that is free and everyone can use it. It would be better if they just used the desktop version for everything and say that you can use the online version if you want. It notes there are slight differences between the online version and the desktop version, but there are already differences between the online version they used in screenshots versus the online version that is used now since it is constantly updated.

The course itself was ok, though indeed very basic. However the final assignment was quite frustrating. Some instructions related to Excel on the web were inaccurate (probably outdated). Moreover, the assignment required to use Remove Duplicates, where the table have not got any unique row identifier. Due to that it was impossible to remove duplicates that way and people should not be graded for this point.

The course is helpful, particularly if you have never really used pivot tables. The course would benefit from visual examples (screenshots) in the hands on labs descriptions. Additionally, some of the methodology for removing duplicates should be revised. Teaching users to remove duplicates on a single variable or non-identifier variable can lead to erroneous deletion of data.

The big knock of the cert program is the absence of real peer discussion and the hollow semblance of providing something like that at the very beginning. When a learner encounters natural difficulties, we have only our individual means to figure them out. That indicates to me a very plausible reason why an entry-level cert program only has a 30% new career rate.

I recently completed the free Coursera course on Data Analytics for Excel Basics, and it was incredibly informative and practical. The instructors were engaging, and the hands-on exercises really reinforced my learning. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to build a strong foundation in data analytics using Excel.

la trducción falla en varios momentos por lo que no permite la mejor comprensión, sobretodo en las formulas y en cuanto a los examenes al tener conocimiento del idioma pude superar las dificultades pero una persona con un nivel bajo en ingles puede verse frustrada

In the part of the course where excel functions are explained, there is no explanation as to what should this functions include. In Hands-on Labs there are only instructions what to write but no explanation as to what these things stand for.

Videos very informative, alot of informatiion in each section. Maybe it can be broken down a little more to be more easily understood, the hands on excersises were a bit confusing and jumbled for me. Tried my best with the Finals.

Course is overall okay and I learnedo some useful skills. I didn't like automatic voiceover and I was under impression that whole narration is quite chaotic. There are better courses on Coursera I am attending right now.

In the final assignment it is confusing that one is supposed to download a new file for part 2 - I did all the analysis on the resulting clean file from part 1 and because of this I did not get a full score....

Good class if you have never used MS Excel before. It should be called "Excel Basics". Period. Nothing is "Data Analysis" specific. This should be a prerequisite for the certification, not a mandatory class.

AI review should be an option for all courses in Coursera. Peer reviewing is not trustworthy, and often done incorrectly, which is unfair to the person submitting their work, not to mention frustrating.

It's good, covers all excel basics; but it does get a little fast and explanations become a little shallow around Pivot Tables. For an absolutely new excel beginner, the course might seem a bit daunting

#1.Needs more thorough explanations on some of the complicated formulas such as the use of quotations, etc.
#2. The instructions in the Graded Assignment 1 were not clear.

The course was very informative, but does need more succinct language to better understand the steps. I do have a concern on which version of Excel is needed.

A very light and limited content. Index and Match, error checking, etc.. are not covered. But the instructor has a very good teaching skills

Course was OK but labs weren't very useful. The instructions were too literal with little to none explanations of the purpose of each step.

It would have been much better if all the worksheets in the videos were made available so students could follow along with the video

Too few practice exercises and the ones that the course have, are very disapointing. Just checking the boxes wont make anyone learn
