Ha sido realmente útil. He aprendido funciones que parecían simples y no lo habría podido llevar a cabo sin los exámenes por temas y sin el repaso final del "FINAL ASSESMENT". Se lo recomiendo a todo el mundo.

Although, I had a deep knowledge of excel even before the enrollment of this course. But, I found there were some gaps in my knowledge while doing the course and I have finally succeeded to overcome those gaps.

Everything is explained clearly. For sure it is just entry step course to Excel but good one. Problem is, it could be covered more things, I was finishing every week in a day. So materials are easy and little.

Very good instructors and helpful exercises. Excel is challenging to teach, especially online and this course did exactly what I needed it to. I will be taking the rest of the courses in this specialization.

Amazing course, the teachers explain every single detail in a very good and simple way to understand it, plus having a test after each video helped me a lot to reinforce my knowledge about what I just learned

This course covers basic elements in Excel and for most of the Excel users, there are just several gaps to fill. Although this course is not so challenging, it is still a terrific course for Excel beginners.

Great basic Exel course for anyone (from first-learners to advanced users). Good reminder for people who learned Excel from themselves: you always discover new functionalities :) The course is well organized.

Great course for getting a handle on the commonly used excel features in day-to-day work. It's also a great refresher course or one to figure out which areas you will want to focus on for continued education.

I almost gave up because the quizzes were really difficult especially in the graphs and calculations. But Coursera convinced me to finish what I started, and I did it too. I learned a lot. Thank you coursera.

A fantastic Introductory course that I have taken even if I already knew a consistent part of it.

It helps creating a comprehensive knowledge of the software and explore possibilities that one might not know.
