About the Course

Spreadsheet tools like Excel are an essential tool for working with data - whether for data analytics, business, marketing, or research. This course is designed to give you a basic working knowledge of Excel and how to use it for analyzing data. This course is suitable for those who are interested in pursuing a career in data analysis or data science, as well as anyone looking to use Excel for data analysis in their own domain. No prior experience with spreadsheets or coding is required - all you need is a device with a modern web browser and the ability to create a Microsoft account to access Excel online at no cost. If you have a desktop version of Excel, you can also easily follow along with the course. Throughout this course, you'll gain valuable experience working with data sets and spreadsheets. We'll start by introducing you to spreadsheets like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets, and show you how to load data from multiple formats. From there, you'll learn how to perform basic data wrangling and cleansing tasks using functions, and expand your knowledge of data analysis through the use of filtering, sorting, and pivot tables. There is a strong focus on practice and applied learning in this course. With each lab, you'll have the opportunity to manipulate data and gain hands-on experience using Excel. You'll learn how to clean and format your data efficiently, and convert it into a pivot table to make it more organized and readable. The final project will allow you to showcase your newly acquired data analysis skills by working with real data sets and spreadsheets. By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundation in using Excel for data analysis. You'll have worked with multiple data sets and spreadsheets, and will have the skills and knowledge needed to effectively clean and analyze data without having to learn any code. So let's get started!...

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.

Too hand-holdy. The hands-on labs tell you exactly each step to take to complete them, rather than giving you an objective. I wish the course had something like that to do while watching the videos so you could follow along, then a lab where you have to complete a certain objective using what you've learned without being spoon-fed the individual steps. I feel like I am not going to retain what I learned because I never had to remember anything on my own.

Not compatible with google sheets. As a skilled google sheets/excel user, having to take so much time doing "peer reviewed" work which simply does not work due to file incapability is ridiculous. Then to move on to being force fed IBM self promotion is also ridiculous. came to learn python but not even making it that far due to the nature of the course is laughable at best. Youtube will work just as well

not organized. Car sales data sheet to practice with, where was that?? previous lesson had you download some Indian start up funding sheet that you barely use and then it is on to a car sales data sheet that they don't tell you where to access. Keep with the same practice sheet for continuity

The actual lessons using Excel could be better, for example at the beginning of each chapter clearly show people where to get the excel file, you should be able to download it and follow along with each lesson.

Good course content however peer graded system is unreliable. Received a fail grade for the assignment, resubmitted with no changes and received full marks. Would expect better from a course I am paying for.
