TOP REVIEWS FROM PROBLEM SOLVING WITH EXCEL
by GADec 21, 2020
Great course that starts with basics for newcomers to Excel and slowly builds up to some intermediate and advanced formulas that can be used for all sorts of business and real world problem solving
by JKJan 11, 2017
In general the course is very well structured and to the point. In some demonstartions it is hard to see the formula syntax as it can not be more enlarged. In some videos the sound is not clear.
by JGSep 4, 2017
Great course so far, learned a lot about how to use Excel functions to solve problems. However, the course may need an update on the missing videos and minor calculation errors in the workbooks.

I am very happy with this course. I really needed it. But it's tough doing the assignments on your own (as beginners) with no one to ask questions, especially as somethings aren't fully taught,
