Es un gran curso. Sin embargo, tiene serios problemas al momento de actualizar fechas cuando uno no logra entregables a tiempo. Llevo dos días buscando cómo llevar a cabo ese reajuste, ya que el botón oficial para ello genera un error.

Good class. I am a bit surprised that we go this far with hardly a mention of Power Query. Otherwise, this course and specialization have really help me to up my game. Probably the INDIRECT and array functions will be game changers.

Very good, the exercises always represented what we were learning. I however did not enjoy the indirect function learning. It felt like there was too much emphasis on something we're unlikely to use. Overall, great course.
