It was a very exciting and crucial course for those who are using Excel on a daily basis. I had learned Excel while working, however, it was without a proper basic foundation. This course has helped me walk through it effectively. I am so grateful that I have completed this course during this pandemic.

Hands down the best excel course out there. This course takes you to every details and forces you to try different things on your own and that's a very important part of learning anything new. It's beautifully designed. Thanks to the faculty members and Coursera for bringing such a great course to us.

Well done course covering the basics of Excel! The pace is what I liked the most. Some courses online promise you'll master a software in six hours or less, well, Excel is more complex than that! The hands on exercises give a little at a time, so I never felt overwhelmed. Excited for the next course!

Durante este curso pude aprender un poco más acerca del Excel, de como se pueden elaborar gráficos estadísticos y realizar filtro que puedes llegar a evitar un largo trabajo en el caso de que sean muchas informaciones en la celda. También pude aprender a imprimir una pagina de Excel y darle formato.

Extremely useful! especially for those who are self-taught. I thought I knew even the most basic of thigs, but boy was I wrong. Now that I have competed the course, I can see that I waste less time and have higher quality spreadsheets.

The format of the course is very well done and keeps you engaged.

it was exciting to go through this course and gained knowledge is very useful. Advice, go from Essentials course through Advanced course in this specialization in sequential order. There are many things to learn in each course no matter what your previous knowledge is. This course was really great.

I am surprised at how well this course is laid out! Even though I am self taught and thought that the Essentials course was unnecessary for me, I see now how wrong I was. I have learned so much. The quizzes and practice assignments are well done. I wish I would have taken these classes 10 years ago.

This is a very good course and a very job demanding skill which one should acquire while pursing thier graduation or even before. This course is designed in such a way that if a person wants to begin to learn excel from the start or scratch they can do so. And later on in order to master the excel.

I've tried out a few different Excel courses on different platforms (Udemy, LinkedIn Learning) and none has even come close to the quality of this course! The pacing is perfect, and all of the hands-on practice makes you actually develop and retain skills in Excel. 10/10 would recommend this course
