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.

Even though I used to think I knew all about the basics, it turns out I didn´t. This course taught me that self-learners nly get to a point and that being curious and disciplined pays forward.

Excellent course. Can't wait to jump into the next level. Using the free month trial of Office 365 to take the specialisation since the online and non-subscriber software doesn't quite cut it.
