About the Course

This 1-hour, project-based course introduces learners to the powerful pivot table feature of most spreadsheet applications. We’ll be using Excel on the Web in this project, which is the free spreadsheet application offered by Microsoft. However, many of the concepts that you will learn in this project will be applicable to other spreadsheet programs, such as LibreOffice Calc and Google Sheets. We will cover the following concepts in a hands-on manner: - Introduction to the functionality of pivot tables. - Application of pivot tables to quickly summarize large amounts of raw data in detail. - Visualize generated data from pivot tables for accessible information at a glance using charts. Please Note: If you don't have a free Microsoft account, you will need to create one to be able to complete the content....

Valuable course and good instructor, but technical issues with reaching, editing and manipulating the file with Excel Online, and difficulty of both following the instructor and working on your file at the same time was difficult. If you have two monitors, or can use the laptop for one and your monitor for the other, then separate screens should make it easy.

The content was good and valuable, but I felt like two hours significantly underestimates the time I devoted to it, given that I had to go back and forth and do those things at the same time as the instructor. I would say I spent 5-6 hours in total. The course was loaded, applying all you learn sometimes takes time.

The course was interesting. However, I had a big setback for a couple of reasons. First, the version of Excel used is older than mine and I lost a lot of time trying to figure out how to do the tasks that the instructor/video was telling me to do. Second, and most annoying reason, was when the instructor showed a formula to extract the month from a date range. In my version of Excel, the formula did not work. And I could not find help anywhere. In the discussion forum, I found another student that experienced the same issue 10 months ago and asked for help. But no one responded. What kind of class is this that the instructor doesn't respond to a student's request for help? I understand if this is a free course on YouTube. But I paid for this course.

I enjoyed this class. I particularly appreciated the instructor. I ran into an issue see in the Pivot Table the column I added. I wish the guided projected provided support with that. It might be the set up with the side by side. I was able to try on another browser and I was able to implement. Thank you!

Very informative and useful course regarding pivot tables and charts. I just felt that the instructor took a lot of time on formatting of the table. Otherwise it was pretty good.

As I put in the Survey, major issue is translating this to Mac or Apple products. Otherwise, great way to get acquainted with Pivot Tables.
