He trabajado con Excel un par de años. Sin embargo, sentía que me hacía falta conocer más para sacarle jugo al programa. A pesar de que el contenido del curso es básico, cada semana descubrí nuevas características o herramientas que hacen más fácil trabajar con Excel.

Very easy to follow and helped me catch up with Excel basics with just enough practice exercises. I learned more from this course than trying to self-taught myself with Excel textbooks and other online courses. Can't wait to continue learning with the Excel series!

Excel Skills for Business: Essentials is an amazing course. I loved learning and practicing it on Microsoftv Excel. Whole course was exciting except Week 6, which is a bit boring. This course has helped me in learning Data Analytics and Visualization basic skills.

The course taught me the essentials that everyone should know, in a concise, precise and easy to understand way. Followed by some practice on my own on the provided worksheets, I am much more well equipped now to handle excel data responsibilities than I was before.

This course is truly legendary. Best thing I like about this course is you have to truly understand concepts to submit quizzes because you need to perform operations in workbook for obtaining answers (Quizzes are not MCQ based). EVERYBODY SAY WOW! [inside joke ;-) ]

The course is very detailed. One might find some things too basic to learn but will actually clarify any doubt if one might have regarding the tools used. The practice quizzes after each and every video and challenge set ensures the practice part. Loved the course
