Great introductory course for false beginners. Learnt the "good" way to do basic things in Excel, and how to save time. Especially liked the way the instructors used a story with "Sean". Would have been nice to see Sean, though.

Muy completo y de sencilla comprensión. Si has manejado Excel antes probablemente no aprenderás muchas cosas nuevas, pero siempre habrá algún detalle que desconocemos que se explica aquí que hará la vida con Excel más sencilla
