Very good instructors and helpful exercises. Excel is challenging to teach, especially online and this course did exactly what I needed it to. I will be taking the rest of the courses in this specialization.

Amazing course, the teachers explain every single detail in a very good and simple way to understand it, plus having a test after each video helped me a lot to reinforce my knowledge about what I just learned

This course covers basic elements in Excel and for most of the Excel users, there are just several gaps to fill. Although this course is not so challenging, it is still a terrific course for Excel beginners.

Great basic Exel course for anyone (from first-learners to advanced users). Good reminder for people who learned Excel from themselves: you always discover new functionalities :) The course is well organized.

Great course for getting a handle on the commonly used excel features in day-to-day work. It's also a great refresher course or one to figure out which areas you will want to focus on for continued education.

I almost gave up because the quizzes were really difficult especially in the graphs and calculations. But Coursera convinced me to finish what I started, and I did it too. I learned a lot. Thank you coursera.

A fantastic Introductory course that I have taken even if I already knew a consistent part of it.

It helps creating a comprehensive knowledge of the software and explore possibilities that one might not know.

Thank you for this course. Just when you thought you know all the basics, there is always something more. It would have saved me from a lot of sleepless nights if I had taken this course years ago. Thank you!

A very good and informative course. It would certainly be essential not only to revise what you already know but also discover new and fascinating things that you do not know.

A very good team of instructors.

This course is a must. It starts off with very basics of Excel but I got to learn a lot of tools I was unaware of. As you progress through the weeks, you find yourself working through sheets more efficiently.

Excellent, friendly, and simple without being patronising. Took me through step by step, but didn't cover the same thing twice. I'll keep doing these courses, and already feel much more confident with excel.

This has been one of the BEST Excel courses I've taken! The final kicked my butt but the course is in-depth and since I'm a hands-on learner, I love that you can practice with the video and on your own time.
