Exciting and challenging course, especially I am using Window 2013 which does not have the 2016 version of Excel. It is bit disadvantage, have to spend time to look for those relevant ribbons/function keys etc.

Anyway feel satisfied.

This is an excellent course as an introduction to Excel. Once in a while you might see a typo in the wording of the quiz problems but it's not a significant issue as meaning can always deduced from the context. Great course overall.

Excellent information and taught so well. I do wish it used a newer version of Excel. That made it a little more challenging than it needed to be and did affect some test questions. But over all, I was so pleased! Thank you, Linda

Muy bueno, grandes conceptos, lastima que no este en español -fue algo difícil seguir el paso a los temas con mi ingles oxidado-. Aprendí algunas herramientas que no había visto y me pareció interesante la parte de como imprimir.
