This particular course in this entire specialization was uneven in regards to explanation especially in Week 5. It could've been more comprehensive.

Very good to learn the most required excel info without diving into VBA and code. Intermediate users should have this as their next step for sure!

OK, but perhaps a bit outdated. Nowadays there are quite a lot of new formulas and approaches to tackle these kinds of challenges.
