While some of the excel formula were harder to follow (especially compared to the first 3 courses of the specialisation), the videos were very informative and helpful. Thank you tutors for the course, I am now much more confident in using Excel in both school and professional settings.

What a great specialisation this is, from essentials to advanced, enjoyed every bit of it. Every course injected new knowledge and great productivity tips. Well structured, well explained, and really satisfying even for the most seasoned excel users. Can not recommend enough!

This particular course is awesome. Everything seems to be challenging at first in comparison to the first three courses but the experience is absolutely worth. Push yourself over the edge just a bit and you'll soon regret that the course ends so quickly. Highly recommended.

I recommend it to all students, it will be useful for both work and personal purposes! Ideally, they should take the courses starting with Essentials, I thought I knew a little about Excel but I was surprised by some basic functions that I was able to add to my portfolio.

Great course content. Enjoyed the videos because I prefer watching videos over reading. The practice quizzes and assessments that come with workbooks are also a great way to consolidate each week's content and give the learner a chance to practice with real data.

very good course recommend people to have this. but ensure you have basic knowledge of the excel before joining this course.

From course point of view practice sheets should be explained for little more complex problems so that understanding the concept is easy.

Most recommended course in Excel!

I learned about many features that Excel has, and my tool box expanded much.

I wish there was more practice challenges' especially in problem solving and how to use functions.

but nonetheless this whole specialization is awesome!

This course helped me to level up my skills in excel, there are functions I haven't used before but now learned to use them that will definitely fast track in how I analyze data. The dashboard is just superb, I haven't thought that it can be done in excel

I really liked this course. The challenges were set at a perfect level to be both a little bit challenging (which made you work your way through the problems) and at the same time doable (so you didn't give up). Thank you Coursera, great course.

Learned a lot about the advanced look-up functions and cleaning data. This are extremely useful things that I can already see myself applying in my job. Finishing the course with dashboard building tips was the icing on the cake. Great course.
