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.

Was a great referesher course for me and taught me a couple things I don't believe I ever knew. It's been a long time since I had to work with Excel so I really enjoyed getting back to the basics.
