I really enjoyed this course, and the way it was taught. And I especially liked the clever way of how the quizzes and challenges were prepared in order for the student to know whether or not he found the right answer.

I was also amazed by the small things excel can do to facilitate our work and I feel more knowledgeable already about Excel.

Special thanks for the instructors and their amazing ways of teaching.

A great course. This course will help you to know fundamental concepts how to use excel spreadsheet program in a effective ways. Instructors are very helpful and co- operative additionally easy to understand their lesson as well as their speech. Above all, thank to the Coursera Online educational platform to provide us such a excellent platform to understand the condition of a international student like me.

A great course that includes all fundamental tools of Excel for those who start to learn the Excel from the basic. Moreover, course structure is so smooth to follow - new information/tool/knowledge is compounded week by week, precise explanation, practices, assessment and challenges. All in all, the course is terrific. Thanks all who created this learning opportunity for those who are thirsty for new skills.

Coursera is the best platform to learn online sitting home and working at our own pace. It is helping me grow during this lockdown period. In this course, even a small detail is explained so clearly which is a rare feature. I am looking forward to learning as many courses as possible that are related to my work.

I thank my Institution and Coursera for providing me this platform to learn.

Thank you, Coursera.

This course is well organized and planned, understandable guidelines through videos and exams for improving skills. I wish if I had a chance to learn more about all MS Office programs like this course. Hope they will design MS Office programs for Business like this Excel course. I really enjoyed & learnt a lot from this. Advice for my dear peers: Very good course if you want to learn Excel basics to advance.

Having used about 95% of these tools, the 5% that I learned are of SIGNIFICANCE!! They will really help with so many details that will allow me to do my projects MUCH faster, cleaner, and better! For anyone who is just starting out - I HIGHLY recommend this course. So well-explained. Not just the "what" but the "WHY". And brilliantly taught in perfect sequence. Looking forward to the Intermediate Course!

I expected to already know a lot of this course, because I've been using spreadsheets for a couple of decades. However! I was introduced to quite a few features that I didn't realise existed; and ones that I had wondered how to use, but hadn't had reason to learn. It's a great all rounder introduction to Excel, and gives me faith that I'll be able to head into the Intermediate Excel courses with confidence.

Creo que este curso te enseña perfectamente las ventajas de Excel para usuarios que necesitan realizar un trabajo profesional y de la manera mas rápida y eficaz posible. Es un curso muy completo para personas que no tienen ningún conocimiento en el programa Excel e inclusive para lo que tenemos un Excel intermedio es de mucha ayuda, ya que no siempre estamos actualizados ante las nuevas novedades del mismo.

I really enjoy this course. super! super!!! Highly recommended.

In this video series there is a sir who said this number of times "practice along side, take a brake, reset, recharge, come back again, and practice again" . Specially Thank you Sir. You helped a lot to complete this course.

There are ton of practice quizzes, so if any one willing to follow this course do not hesitate to enroll.

Bye, Thisara

In fact, I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation for the great effort of those in charge of providing this content Macquarie university and Coursera.

No doubt, I learned and benefited a lot of skills such as, how to format data professionally, how to use conditional formatting, sorting, filtering, formulas, function, themes, charts, fit & print my worksheets and other great skills.

yours sincerely

I highly recommend everyone to take this course! I love the clear explanation and examples as well as the well though quizzes and assignments. Makes you not only master Excel but also enhances your reading comprehension. Kudos to everyone involved in the creation of this course and also to Coursera. Thank Depart of Science and Technology - Caraga (Philippines) for the grant. I enjoyed this course so much!

This is a very interesting, knowledgeable and must have course for every one. Both the instructors, Dr. Prashan Karunaratne and Miss Nikki teach in a simple yet powerful way that the learner say "wow" while learning excel. Indeed "practice makes perfect" is an apt term used by the instructor and it will be helpful to the learners. I will recommend this course to all my friends and colleagues.

Thank You !!

So, I did have excel skills before taking this course, however I was facinated with the amount of the material and info that I was able to gather from this course,

It takes you step by step with the essintial of the excel course, and also, in depth at some important topics,

I do recommend this course if you know nothing about excel, and also if you are familiar with excel but need to refresh your mind

Tough work and long hours put into it, but it's worth it. It took my years of experimenting with and playing around with excel and not knowing most of it and turned it into a disciplined and structured format for my mind to realize what I had been doing so far and vast gaps that I had been missing. If COVID hadn't happened, I probably would be doing the entire course and other levels, but we'll see now.

Great course for absolute beginners or freshers entering the workforce for the first time without any prior work experience using Excel, this course on its own is not sufficient for roles that require moderate to heavy use of Excel. I recommend completing the entire specialization to call yourself a true Excel pro. But yes, as the course title suggests, it is just the essentials that are touched upon.

Based in my experience, If you have been using excel for work with data in university, this course it will be too easy for you, although it help me to fill out some gaps i had. Basado en mi experiencia, si has usado antes excel en la universidad, para tratar datos, es posible que este curso sea muy facil para tí, sin embargo a mi me ha ayudado a tapar algunas faltas de conocimiento que tenía. Saludos.

Its is exciting journey on learning. Before i finished it really stock on my mind. The way the teach and explain the module. I clearly understand all the module . From week 1 to week 6.. Theres no dull moments . And the give a pointers and techniques. As well as a short cut command on keyboard .. Thank you very much for this opportunity. I do appreciate all the module. Especially excel spreadsheet ..

I loved taking this class. I have learned so much more in a few weeks than years working in the office. The videos are great but my favorite part was the down loadable work along worksheets which are provided. I need to practice along and not just watch videos otherwise its very difficult for me to really learn and remember the material so I highly recommend this class to anyone that works an office.

It is the best course that I have taken on Coursera so far. The teaching methods; clear arrangement of the weekly course contents; the quizzes after each and every course video; weekly challenges; useful tips and etc. are absolutely designed for the students to gain the Excel skills in the most efficient way! I show the gratitude for the creators of this course! Thank you and absolutely recommended!!

I Really enjoyed this course. Got me all the basics up and running. I hope i can keep in touch with whatever i have learned from this course. I would like to Thank each and everyone especially Sir Prashan and Madam Nicky who put tremendous efforts to make the practice videos, challenges, quizzes and the practice sheets. They were truly outstanding with the lectures. Short and on point. All the best!

Best course I could have ever got. They explained everything in detailed and did give some time for us to learn it ourselves by trying it out. They also made sure to not over explain everything and gave us space to explore and find new stuff on our own , which in my opinion helps memorizing it. I would encourage anyone in commerce field to go for this course as it helps out big time in the long run.

This is a great course where you can learn the essentials and how get to start working with microsost excel and many useful things. The quality of videos are great with excellent explaination.

Thanks to Masters of Maquarie university and coursera team for this course, It is a recommended and necessary course for those who want to work with excel.

Thank you so much coursera & Maquarie University

Es muy completo, y te brinda toda la información, herramientas y ayuda necesaria para poder realizar todas las actividades propuestas. Al mismo tiempo, los oradores se expresan de forma pausada, permitiéndote ver en la pantalla e ir volcando lo que se explica en el archivo de Excel adjunto, lo cual te permite poder ir haciendo las actividades sin estar pausando y reanudando el video constantemente.

This course has an excellent format. It is 100% online and there are videos that to show you exactly what to do. And if you miss anything, you just have to rewind. There are workbooks to follow while watching the videos and the quiz after each video is an excellent way of remembering what you just learnt. The speakers were very clear and easily understood. One of the best online courses ever made.

It was amazing experience. Teaching method is excellent. I'll recommend this course that everyone should try this course. Now-a-days Excel is essential now, instead of using notebook and calculator for writing and calculations we can use Excel. It was a amazing experience to learn this course. I learnt a lot from this course. The main thing i learnt from this course is " Practice Makes Permanent".
