This was a good course. I know certain things but when you are put to the test sometimes what you know is not particularly solid. The locations and the names of certain items were not familiar to me. I use this at work all the time and never really thought about where to go to do that. I just search the top and see where I need to go. Now I must know these things like the back of my hand. This course has helped me to do that.

Un muy buen curso introductorio de Excel, muy útil para aquellos que no tienen conocimiento en el uso del programa y también como refuerzo para aquellos que están habituados a usarlo. Un punto en contra es la traducción automática del inglés a español en algunos casos ya que genera errores en la resolución de las tareas calificadas o bien errores de interpretación en los contenidos, a tener en cuenta!...

I really enjoyed this course, and it has made me much more confident with data in excel. I thought I would breeze right through the content, as I have used excel for several years. Instead, I found the information and techniques presented to be enlightening and enjoyable. My main goal is to learn how to better use Power BI, but I am happy I completed this course on that journey!

Being a user from India, the MM/DD/YYYY format was a bit tough to handle and work around in my Excel sheets, same with the Dollars sign, if Coursera or Microsoft could produce work for each region it would be very helpful. Apart from that, the course was helpful to me, being a beginner, I got to deep dive into the formulas and functions.

This is a straight five stars base on the format the delivery of material is structured; a topic is introduced, the material is delivered with a video, then in reading, so this makes it hard to miss anything. Next, an exercise or quiz is given for you to test yourself and an exemplar is followed to correct any gaps.

Insightful course for beginners and returning professionals that need to touch up on excels functionalities. I was humbled in the first module and it helped me re-assess and create an action plan as a returning student. Highly recommend for those who need a re-introduction to excel.

I was using excel in my organization for minimalistic work (just using the mathematical operators) but exploring this course has given me a broader view about more basic functions and calculations that can actually be used in any data analysis.

The focus of this course left me confident that I now have a solid knowledge of functions I'll need for data analysis rather than other courses I've taken that were never ending courses on function after function that I may never need.

I have one feedback to provide. While we were given hands-on exercise to do during the course, it would have been much more interesting if we have been asked to submit our completed exercise which can be evaluated by Coursera team

I loved this course. I had only really had a very basic working knowledge of Excel up to now, but this course really taught me the potential that Excel by itself has. I can't wait to get started on the next course.

Learning never goes out of style and thinking you know things isn't always true. As a seasoned veteran in microsoft excel this first part has thought me so many key things i didn't know when using excel.
