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.

What I liked most about this course was the simple way the instructors used to explain the ideas, and tell us how to use them in the real world, and for me, that's what matters.
