The course was defiantly more than I expected. It not only strengthened what I did know about Excel but it showed me several options that I was not using or haven't found. I would highly recommend it.

I can tell you this course is great for both refresher and for those just starting out to learn excel. I have been using excel for a while and attended courses on Data analytics but this stands out.

Everything is introduced step by step, and the practice videos are very helpful. Practice videos not being long and having a small quiz afterwards help us to learn more effective. Thanks to everyone taking part in this!

This is a wonderful class and what I like most is the tedious class challenge, quiz, and final exam. It is really challenging and extremely effective in implementing all that's been taught for each session of the model.

The video lessons are short, but enough to teach the basics. Everything is well organized so you will not be lost. I thought I already knew the basics of Excel before taking this course. However, I still learned a lot!

Even though originally I thought I didn't need it, I learned quite a lot, increased my confidence and filled a lot of gaps of things. Not as "Basic". Recommend it for anyone who believes to be at an intermediate level.

Muy práctico y lo curioso es que usas casos de la vida real como data para practica. Además, de que te ayudan las mismas preguntas el poder contestarlas, dándote una pista para lograrlo.

it was a very helpful course for me as it helped me to learn very basic things about excel, which on the surface may not seem very significant but act significantly when we apply intermediate or expert skills on excel.

Really loved the course, found many small things that were right under the nose yet never used them. Prashan and Nicky did a great job preparing the content and delivering it, Will surely take another course from them.

The best to start from basics. Many of us might be using excel but were not aware of some basic function which excel provide, by this course I can now use excel efficiently. Hoping to learn more in this specialization.

Extremely well designed course to guide someone for learning the basics of excel systematically other than trail and error method.Gives a good idea of all the covered functions so that one understands what he is doing.
