TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO SPREADSHEETS AND MODELS
The course is worth the time , the faculty teaches you about some complicated advance formulae with so much clarity and ease that even beginners can be pro in excel related to business and finance.
This course was very helpful in stepping-up my finance related excel skills. This is especially most helpful for students with little to zero background in finance.
Course is great with showing much interesting fuctions in excel. Only 4 out of 5 stars because it is not clear how to submit formula input in quizes - whether start with = or not etc.
This is a very interesting course. You will get to learn the functioning of spreadsheets and how to use it for business models. Moreover, one can use it for market research also.
