Muy bueno para principiantes, pero si se debe tener una base leve de como utilizar excel. A veces los cuestionarios hacen preguntas de cosas no vistas en los videos. Pero es bastante útil y brinda trucos rápidos y fáciles que hacen el trabajo más eficiente.

This course is helpful for anyone who has just started using excel and knows nothing about it. This course covers all the basics and helps you learn from the scratch. If you already have basic knowledge of excel yet this course will help you fill the gaps.

Brilliant course - worth every minute spent. I consider myself a good excel user, but there were many tricks that I have learned - and also some areas where I was not confident got clarified as well - eg charts.

I can only recommend this course to everyone.
