The course structure is really good for starting with Excel. Even though the course content may look easier, but it does not when it comes to the assignment. Tricky questions. A good start!

I think A function Like VLOOKUP was really mandatory to be covered in the basic as it is one of the most commonly used function for beginners. If that had been there this course was 5 star

I enjoyed it but would have liked it much more if there was a feedback option for every quiz conducted. So the students could give anyone suggestions on the questions asked in the quizzes.
